Effect
When held by a Pokémon, it boosts the Pokémon's by 50%, but only allows the use of the first move selected. This effect resets when the holder is withdrawn.

Generation IV
In, due to a glitch, if a Pokémon uses and switches into a Pokémon holding Choice Specs that also knows U-turn, that Pokémon will be locked into U-turn. This was fixed in subsequent games.

Generation V to VI
From Generation V onward, if a Pokémon is already locked into a move due to held Choice Specs, if the held Choice Specs is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by the Choice item lock glitch.

Generation VII
If a Pokémon holding Choice Specs uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through or ), the move will fail and no  will be deducted.
