Effect

In battle

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Does it check the Pokémon's species before or after using Transform (in each generation)?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

If held by Clamperl, doubles its Special Attack.

Outside of battle

Causes Clamperl to evolve into Huntail when traded while holding it. This consumes the Deep Sea Tooth.
