GF introduces New held item called Cohesion Pad
Effect: Does not allow user to switch out of battle until it has fainted.
>Can be Knocked Off
>Non damaging phasing moves like Roar and Whirlwind do not force a switch
>Damaging phasing moves like Dragon Tail and Circle Throw will force a switch out
>Item can be tricked, even from a Suction Cups pokemon.
How does this change the metagame?

here's how that will go:
>opponent switches to appropriate counter
bonus points if it's a set up counter
>fucks your team backwards
make it so you can switch out your own pokemon and the item effect is rewrote to disallow your opponent from switching out your pokemon in any way and you have a more interesting and useful item. the way you have it now? no

Not much.
Zcrystals and Mega Stones are immovable.
What happens to Parting Shot and U-turn tho?
If fling becomes trapping move like Block maybe it'll get some use.
