Effect
In battle
The user ensnares the foe with a thin, gooey silk so it can't flee from battle. In generation 3 Run Away,Smoke Balls, and U-Turn allowed the user to flee from sticky web(which was later given to all moves involving forcing a switch).
It bypasses accuracy checksum always hit the target(save for those on the semi invulnerable turn if moves like Dig).
Initially, it bypased protect and detect, but in Gen 3 and 4 it was blocked by it, before Gen 6 made it bypass both moves but not Crafty Shield, as well as making ghost types Immune to it.
Contests
Makes all Pokémon after the user nervous.
It gives 3 appeal points if String Shot was used previously and can be used to make self ko moves (some, if not all), give 3 appeal points.
