Choice Band. A very, very popular hold item when in a competitive Pokemon battle. It raises the attack of the Pokemon holding it by 50%, but they may only use the first move selected until they switch out. This causes certain Pokemon like Slaking, Metagross,Salamence, Kangaskan, Aerodactyl, Ursaring, Aggron, Golem, Snorlax, etc. to be some of the most feared Pokemon on Netbattle. The Choice band caused Ursaring to be upgraded from UU to BL standard. The rest of the main choice banders were already Standard, OU or BL uber but some of them have been upgraded and Metagross is now usable in uber competitions. The Choice band has now levelled the physical sweepers with the special sweepers.
