Effect, in PokéAPI's words
King’s Rock: “Held: Damaging moves gain a 10% chance to make their target flinch. Traded on a Poliwhirl: Holder evolves into Politoed. Traded on a Slowpoke: Holder evolves into Slowking.”
Held in battle: Holder’s damaging moves have a 10% chance to make their target flinch. This chance applies independently to each hit of a multi-hit move. This item’s chance is rolled independently of any other move effects; e.g., a move with a 30% chance to flinch normally will have a 37% total chance to flinch when used with this item, because 3% of the time, both effects activate. Held by Poliwhirl or Slowbro: Holder evolves into Politoed or Slowking, respectively, when traded.
Fling effect: flinch.
