Choice Band will increase the damage of Bonsly's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick.

Fails if target is not attacking). ◆ Stomping Tantrum is a physical 75-base power Ground-type move (power doubles if your Bonsly's last move failed). ◆ Dig is a physical 80-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2).
