Effect

In battle

Grants certain moves used by the holder a 10% chance of causing targets to flinch.

Each strike of a multistrike move has an independent chance of causing the target to flinch.

Generation IV

Grants the moves listed below a 10% chance of causing each target to flinch. This chance is not affected by Serene Grace.

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 Serene Grace and the rainbow created by Fire Pledge and Water Pledge. Razor Fang does not activate Sheer Force, but Sheer Force removes the chance to flinch if the move already has an additional effect.

Moves affected in Generation IV

The Razor Fang causes Gligar to evolve into Gliscor when leveled up at night while holding it. This consumes the Razor Fang.
