  7. Gen II

    Before: The user spends two to five turns using this move. Has a 3/8 chance to last two or three turns, and a 1/8 chance to last four or five turns. The damage calculated for the first turn is used for every other turn. The user cannot select a move and the target cannot execute a move during the effect, but both may switch out. If the user switches out, the target remains unable to execute a move during that turn. If the target switches out, the user uses this move again automatically, and if it had 0 PP at the time, it becomes 63. If the user or the target switch out, or the user is prevented from moving, the effect ends. This move can prevent the target from moving even if it has type immunity, but will not deal damage.

    Now: Prevents the target from switching for two to five turns. Causes damage to the target equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP, rounded down, at the end of each turn during effect. The target can still switch out if it uses Baton Pass. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field, or if the target uses Rapid Spin or Substitute successfully. This effect is not stackable or reset by using this or another binding move.

How it works in Champions

Prevents the target from switching for four or five turns (seven turns if the user is holding Grip Claw). Causes damage to the target equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP (1/6 if the user is holding Binding Band), rounded down, at the end of each turn during effect. The target can still switch out if it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass, Flip Turn, Parting Shot, Shed Tail, Teleport, U-turn, or Volt Switch. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field, or if the target uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Substitute successfully. This effect is not stackable or reset by using this or another binding move.

“The user traps the target inside a fierce vortex of fire that inflicts damage for four to five turns.”
