On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Jaw Lock (Japanese: くらいつく Seize with Teeth) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation VIII.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Wimp Out/Emergency Exit, Red Card, Shed Shell, Eject Button You can discuss this on the talk page.

Jaw Lock inflicts damage and prevents the user and the target from fleeing or switching out (even if they are allies). After either of them faints, the other Pokémon will be able to flee or switch out starting the following turn (even if it used to be unable to do so by an effect other than Jaw Lock).
