===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 This effect resets when the holder is withdrawn.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 a Choice Scarf 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 a held Choice Scarf, if the held Choice Scarf is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by the Choice item lock glitch.
====Generation VII====
If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through or ), the move will fail and no PP will be deducted.
====Generation VIII====
If a Pokémon holding a Choice Scarf Dynamaxes, the item will temporarily have no effect; the stat boost will be disabled, and the Pokémon will no longer be subject to move locks. After the Dynamax ends, the stat boost is restored, and any previous move lock will be re-enabled.
