If this move successfully inflicts damage, it traps the target for 4-7 turns (including turn of use), preventing them from switching out or escaping, and damaging them by 1/16th of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. The target is released from the trap at the end of the turn after the last turn it received recurrent damage in. The effect damage is typeless and so will not be blocked by any form of immunity ability, including Wonder_Guard.
These effects end prematurely if the user faints or is switched out, or if the target uses Rapid Spin, Hyper Spin or Charge Spin.
If the user of this move is holding a Grip Claw, the duration of the effect will always be 7 turns. If the user is holding a Binding Band, the recurrent damage is increased from 1/16th max HP to 1/8th.
If a wild Pokémon uses Configure on the player's Pokémon, the player may run from the battle (but not switch out) if the affected Pokémon has the Run_Away Ability or is holding a Smoke Ball. If the target is holding a Shed Shell or eject button, it will be able to switch out during the trapping effect (but not run from it). The target may also switch out if they use Baton Pass, U-Turn or other moves of that kind. Uses of Configure or any other partial trapping move on the same target will not cause them to be trapped again for as long as the original trapping effect is in place.
In a triple battle, this move may target anyone facing or adjacent to the user.

Out-of-battle effect: Rearranges terrain in the Cyber Realm.

Only usable in the Cyber Realm. This move is a signature move of Poryhedron, and is not available for use in other suggestions' movelists.
