Stench

Has a 10% chance of making target Pokémon flinch with each hit.

How it works

This Pokémon's damaging moves have a 10% chance to make the target flinch with each hit if they do not already cause flinching as a secondary effect.

This ability does not stack with a held item.

Overworld: The wild encounter rate is halved while this Pokémon is first in the party.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
