===Effect===
====In battle====
Grants certain moves used by the holder a chance of causing targets to [[flinch]].

=====Generation II=====
Grants the moves listed below a 11.71875% (30/256) chance of causing targets to flinch. Unlike flinching caused by other means in this generation, King's Rock can cause {{status|sleep}}ing and {{status|freeze|frozen}} Pokémon to flinch as well.

Only the final strike of a [[multi-strike move]] has a chance of causing the target to flinch.

=====Generations III and IV=====
Grants the moves listed below a 10% chance of causing each target to flinch. This chance is not affected by {{a|Serene Grace}}.

Each strike of a [[multi-strike move]] has an independent chance of causing the target to flinch. Flinching caused this way is no longer different to flinching caused by other means.

=====Generation V onward=====
Grants all attacking moves that do not already have a chance to flinch a 10% chance of causing each target to flinch. This chance is affected by {{a|Serene Grace}} and the rainbow created by {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Water Pledge}}. King's Rock does not activate {{a|Sheer Force}}, but Sheer Force removes the chance to flinch if the move already has an [[additional effect]].

Another King's Rock appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', where it was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; [[Alice Telesu|Alice]]'s {{p|Slowpoke}} used it to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}} as a {{p|Shellder}} bit onto it while it was on Slowpoke's head.
