Fairy Lock is a Fairy-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Klefki.

Description

Games	Description
XYORAS SMUSUM SwShLA SV	By locking down the battlefield, the user keeps all Pokémon from fleeing during the next turn.
BDSP	This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered.

Effect

Under most conditions, it will trap every Pokémon on the field and prevent switching out. The only exceptions are if any of the Pokémon are Ghost types, an item or move that forces a switch is in play (like Dragon Tail) or any one of the affected Pokémon faints (which applies the effect to the next Pokémon sent out).

Trivia

• There was a glitch in the original version of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield that enabling animations while the move was used (like via Metronome as Klefki was not in the game) would cause the game to crash. This was fixed in Version 1.1.0.
