The '''Choice Scarf''' (Japanese: '''こだわりスカーフ''' ''Fixation Scarf'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It boosts the holder's {{stat|Speed}}, but locks it into only using one move. It has two {{cat|Choice items|counterparts}} that boost different stats: [[Choice Band]] and [[Choice Specs]].

===Effect===
 +
When held by a Pokémon, it boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} by 50%, but only allows the use of the first [[move]] selected. This effect resets when the holder is [[Recall|withdrawn]].
 +
 
 +
====Generation IV====
 +
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to [[List of glitches (Generation IV)#U-turn Choice glitch|a glitch]], if a Pokémon uses {{m|U-turn}} and switches into a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf that also knows U-turn, that Pokémon will be locked into U-turn. This was fixed in subsequent games.
 +
 
 +
====Generation V to VI====
 +
From [[Generation V]] onward, if a Pokémon is already locked into a move due to a held Choice Scarf, if the held Choice Scarf is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by the [[Choice item lock glitch]].
 +
 
 +
====Generation VII====
 +
If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through {{m|Instruct}} or {{a|Dancer}}), the move will fail and no [[PP]] will be deducted.
 +
 
 +
====Generation VIII====
 +
If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf [[Dynamax]]es, the item will temporarily have no effect; the stat boost will be disabled, and the Pokémon will no longer be subject to move locks. After the Dynamax ends, the stat boost is restored, and any previous move lock will be re-enabled.

Effect

When held by a Pokémon, it boosts the Pokémon's Speed by 50%, but only allows the use of the first move selected. This effect resets when the holder is withdrawn.

Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, due to a glitch, if a Pokémon uses U-turn and switches into a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf that also knows U-turn, that Pokémon will be locked into U-turn. This was fixed in subsequent games.

Generation V to VI

From Generation V onward, if a Pokémon is already locked into a move due to a held Choice Scarf, if the held Choice Scarf is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by the Choice item lock glitch.

Generation VII

If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through Instruct or Dancer), the move will fail and no PP will be deducted.

Generation VIII

If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf Dynamaxes, the item will temporarily have no effect; the stat boost will be disabled, and the Pokémon will no longer be subject to move locks. After the Dynamax ends, the stat boost is restored, and any previous move lock will be re-enabled.
