Whirlwind now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Bounce}} (but not {{m|Fly}}). Whirlwind can now hit a target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}, but will fail if the target is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

In a wild [[Horde Encounter]], if a wild Pokémon uses Whirlwind, it will force the target to switch with a Pokémon from its Trainer's party, regardless of the target's level. If the Trainer's Pokémon uses Whirlwind, however, it will fail.
