Whirlpool | The effects of Whirlpool are the same as in Generation II, but if a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Bind on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a [[Smoke Ball]]. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out. | ||
===Generation IV=== | |||
In Generation IV, if the user of Bind is holding a [[Grip Claw]], the duration will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a [[Shed Shell]], it can switch out. | |||

Returned to HM Status in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, Whirlpool allows the user to cross Whirlpools on the field, instead of clearing them away as it did in [[Generation II]]. | |||
