How it works in Champions
Prevents the target from switching out. At the end of each turn during effect, the target's Defense and Special Defense are lowered by 1 . 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.
