The Choice Specs (Japanese: こだわりメガネ Fixation Glasses) is a type of held item introduced in Generation IV. It is an in-battle effect item that greatly boosts the holder's Special Attack, but locks the holder to one move. It has two counterparts that boost different stats: Choice Band and Choice Scarf.

Effect
When held by a Pokémon, it boosts the Pokémon's Special Attack by 50%, but only allows the use of the first move selected. This effect resets when the holder is withdrawn.
Generation IV
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, due to a glitch, if a Pokémon uses U-turn and switches into a Pokémon holding Choice Specs 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 held Choice Specs, if the held Choice Specs is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by the Choice item lock glitch.
Generation VII
If a Pokémon holding Choice Specs uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through Instruct or Dancer), the move will fail and no PP will be deducted.
Generation VIII
If a Pokémon holding Choice Specs becomes Dynamaxed, 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 Dynamax ends, the stat boost is restored, and any previous move lock will be re-enabled.

In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga
In Yū vs. Shin, Rival Showdown!!, Shin had given his Wailord Choice Specs to hold, allowing its powered-up Water Spout to defeat Yū's Heatran. However, this strategy was turned against Shin when Yū used his Quagsire, whose Water Absorb rendered Water Spout useless, thus allowing Yū to snatch a victory from his rival.
