Effect

Causes damage when opposing Pokémon switch in.

Spreads sharp rocks around the opposing field, damaging any Pokémon that enters the field for 1/8 its max HP. This damage is affected by the entering Pokémon’s susceptibility to Rock moves. Rapid Spin removes this effect from its user’s side of the field.

"The user lays a trap of levitating stones around the opposing team. The trap damages opposing Pokémon that switch into battle."
