Gorgon's Eye

Gorgon's Eye (Japanese: メドゥサのめ Medusa's Eye) is a Rock-type Status move introduced in Generation V. It is the signature move of ???

Effect
Gorgon's Eye changes the target's type to Rock and prevents the target from switching out. It also cancels out the Levitate ability. It has no effect on Rock-type Pok&eacute;mon.

The effect only applies as long as the user is still in battle. The affected Pokémon can still switch out using Baton Pass, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will become trapped as well as becoming Rock-type. If the user switches out using Baton Pass, the effects of Block will still apply to the target. Also, if the target is Roared at or hit with a Whirlwind, they will still be switched out.

If a wild Pokémon uses Gorgon's Eye on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to escape, unless the player's Pokémon has Run Away.
