Bind is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

EffectEdit

Prevents the target from switching or fleeing from the next 2 to 5 turns. Has a 3/8 chance to last for 2 or 3 turns, and a 1/8 chance to last for 4 or 5 turns. Does damage to the target equal to 1/16 its Maximum HP at the end of every turn. If the user is no longer on the field, this effect ends.
