How it works in Champions

Prevents the target from switching out. The target can still switch out if it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass, Flip Turn, Parting Shot, Teleport, U-turn, or Volt Switch. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field.

“The user pins the target with a dark, arresting look. The target becomes unable to flee.”
