Effect
Held: Increases Speed by 50%, but restricts the holder to only one move.
Held: Increases the holder’s Speed by 50%, but restricts it to the first move it uses until it leaves battle or loses this item. If this item is swapped for another Choice item via Trick or Switcheroo, the holder’s restriction is still lifted, but it will again be restricted to the next move it uses. (Quirk: If the holder is switched in by U-Turn and it also knows U-Turn, U-Turn becomes its restricted move.)

Where to find it
Game abbreviations follow the standard Pokémon series conventions.
Generation IV
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl , due to a glitch , if a Pokémon uses U-turn and switches into a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf that also knows U-turn, that Pokémon will be locked into U-turn. This was fixed in subsequent games.
Generation VII
- If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through Instruct or Dancer ), the move will fail and no PP will be deducted.
Generation VIII
- If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf Dynamaxes , the item will temporarily have no effect; the stat boost will be disabled, and the Pokémon will no longer be subject to move locks. After the Dynamax ends, the stat boost is restored, and any previous move lock will be re-enabled.
