Bind
NormalPhysical
Bind inflicts damage on the first turn then traps the opponent, causing them to lose 1⁄8 of their maximum HP after each turn, for 4-5 turns. If the user holds a Grip Claw, the after-effects last for 7 turns. If a Binding Band is held, the damage is 1⁄6 of the target's maximum HP.
