A Choice Band in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Emerald rented a Linoone holding a Choice Band from the Battle Factory in Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming. It was used to strengthen its Frustration in some of its matches. This item later proved to be instrumental in taking down Noland's Mawile, when Linoone used Trick to switch items with Mawile.

In the TCG

Main article: Choice Band (Guardians Rising 121)

The Choice Band was introduced as a Pokémon Tool Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era) in the Guardians Rising expansion. It was later reprinted in the Japanese sub-set Facing a New Trial.

The Choice Band strengthens attacks of the Pokémon the card is attached by 30 if the the opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

Trivia

  • In Generation VII, if a Pokémon holding a Choice Band uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through Embargo or Dancer), the move will fail and no PP will be consumed.
