If you use King's Rock with a move that causes flinching, like Waterfall, does it futher increase the chance of that move causing flinch?

What about Scope Lens with moves like Slash; will it make the critical hit ratio even higher?

Thanks in advance!

yes

For even better results you can stack them with abilities that have an increased chance of causing such an affect.

Thinking about this, I'm unsure of the boost by Scope Lens....if an Absol with Super Luck uses Night Slash, that'll have 60% chance to CH, right? If Scope Lens is 1.5x, that'll be boosted to 90% chance, but if it's 2x, it'll be a CH everytime, meaning it could be an interesting option for my team....=/

If they haven't changed it since GSC (and for this particular thing, I'm sure they haven't), there are "domains" for critical hits. +1 for Scope Lens/Razor Claw, +1 for Focus Energy, +1 for Super Luck, +2 for "high critical-ratio moves" such as Cross Poison, and +2 for Lucky Punch/Stick. However, five is the highest domain you can reach, even if you stack more.

Moves start at Domain 1; 6.25% chance.
Domain 2; 12.5% chance.
Domain 3; 25% chance.
Domain 4; 33.3% chance.
Domain 5; 50% chance.

With Super Luck existing, though, there might have been added domains. I do know, however, that Stick'd Focus Energy'd Slash was still only Domain 5 in GSC.

I think the same thing reigns true with flinching... because kings rock is said not to help out with flinching when it came to Togakiss with S. Grace and stuff like air slash.
