Effect

When held by a Pokémon, it boosts the Pokémon'sSpecial Attack by 50%, but only allows the use of the firstmove selected. This effect resets when the holder iswithdrawn.

Generation IV

InPokémon Diamond and Pearl, due toa glitch, if a Pokémon usesU-turn and switches into a Pokémon holding Choice Specs that also knows U-turn, that Pokémon will be locked into U-turn. This was fixed in subsequent games.

Generation V to VI

FromGeneration V onward, if a Pokémon is already locked into a move due to held Choice Specs, if the held Choice Specs is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by theChoice item lock glitch.

Generation VII

If a Pokémon holding Choice Specs uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as throughInstruct orDancer), the move will fail and noPP will be deducted.

Generation VIII

Dynamax Pokémon are unaffected by Choice Specs (both the move-lock effect and the stat boost). If a Pokémon is locked into a move due to Choice Specs and then Dynamaxes, when the Dynamax ends, the Pokémon once again can only use the move it was already locked into.
