Flinching, named Cringing in early games of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, is a status condition where the affected Pokémon cannot use moves or attack during the turn it is affected. Usually occurs as a possible secondary effect (for moves like Bite). Flinching cannot be cured other than waiting for the next turn. It will not affect a Pokémon with the ability Inner Focus. The item King's Rock occasionally causes an opponent to flinch when the Pokémon holding it uses an attack move.
