From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Vise Grip (Japanese: はさむ Squeeze), spelled ViceGrip from Generations I to V and Vice Grip from Generations VI to VII, is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Vise Grip inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.

Vise Grip can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Bind and Guillotine to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.
