'''Whirlpool''' is a mostly accurate {{t|Water}}-type move introduced in [[Generation II]] that deals very little damage. It was the first [[HM]] move to lose its HM status, and was later followed by {{m|Flash}} and {{m|Dive}}.

'''Whirlpool''' (Japanese: '''うずしお''' ''Whirl Tide'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is:
* [[HM06]] in Generation II.
* [[HM05]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* [[TM36]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM208]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
Spanish: '''Torbellino'''.
===In battle===
Whirlpool inflicts damage and then traps the target for a number of turns, inflicting damage at the end of each turn as well, as seen in the table below.
 
If the user is holding a [[Binding Band]], the trapping damage increases. If the user is holding a [[Grip Claw]], the number of turns is affected.
 
The trapped Pokémon is also prevented from being [[recall|switched]] or [[escape|escaping]] the battle.

Whirlpool can hit Pokémon during the [[semi-invulnerable]] turn of {{m|Dive}}, dealing twice the [[damage]] in all generations except in [[Generation IV]], where the move's [[power]] is doubled instead (resulting in virtually the same effect). This increase in damage or power only applies to the move when used, not to the trapping damage.
 
A trapped Pokémon holding a [[Shed Shell]] can be switched out.
 
A trapped Pokémon with {{a|Run Away}} or holding a [[Smoke Ball]] (except in [[Generation II]]) can escape from a battle against a [[wild Pokémon]], but cannot be switched out.
 
A trapped Pokémon will be freed if it uses {{m|Rapid Spin}} or if the Whirlpool user switches out.
 
====Generation II====
When this move traps the target, this text appears: "<Pokémon> was trapped!"
 
Whirlpool is not affected by [[King's Rock]].
 
{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon can be trapped by Whirlpool.
 
====Generations III to V====
When this move traps the target, this text now appears: "<Pokémon> was trapped in the vortex!"
 
Whirlpool is now affected by [[King's Rock]].
 
Whirlpool can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if {{m|Rain Dance}} was used in the previous turn.
 
====Generation VI onwards====
{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon cannot be trapped by Whirlpool.
 
===Outside of battle===
{{main|Whirlpool (obstacle)}}
 
This move is usable either from the [[party]] or simply by pressing A when facing a whirlpool.
 
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Glacier Badge is required to use Whirlpool outside of battle.
 
====Generation II====
Whirlpool clears whirlpools in the field while {{m|surf}}ing.
 
====Generation IV====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Whirlpool allows the user to cross whirlpools on the field, instead of clearing them away as it did in [[Generation II]].

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Whirlpool deals damage and may inflict the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Constriction}} status condition on the enemy (10% chance). This renders the enemy unable to move (though it may attack) and lose 5 HP every two turns. This status lasts for 4-6 turns.
 
From {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} onwards, the move instead may inflict the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Whirlpool}} status condition for 6 turns, which renders the enemy unable to move (though it may attack) and lose 3 HP every two turns.
 
In all series, Whirlpool can hit a Pokémon in middle of {{m|Dive}} for double damage.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Whirlpool is {{p|Azumarill}}'s and {{p|Cramorant}}'s first move.
 
Azumarill can obtain the move by evolving from {{p|Marill}} at level 5 and upgrading {{m|Tackle}} into it instead of {{m|Aqua Tail}}. The move causes four small whirlpools appear that swirl around the user to appear for a short time as it moves. If a whirlpool hits an opposing Pokémon, the whirlpool deals damage to it and restores the user’s HP. If a whirlpool hits a Pokémon on the opposing team, an increased amount of HP is restored to the user. At level 11, the move’s cooldown is decreased and the amount of HP it restores to the user is increased.
 
Cramorant starts with the move. The user creates a whirlpool at a designated location, damaging all enemies in the radius. It also slows enemies by 50% in the area at the end of its duration. The user can enter the whirlpool to catch prey for Gulp Missile (up to 2 prey). At level 6, this move is replaced by either {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}}.

==Trivia==
* Although it is the first of three moves to lose [[HM]] status, it is also the first former HM to regain that status.
** This makes it the first HM move teachable by two separate HMs: [[HM06]] in [[Generation II]], and [[HM05]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* If a player teaches a Pokémon Whirlpool by HM in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and trades it to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, the Pokémon can be freely imported to {{2v2|Black|White}} via the [[Poké Transfer]], due to Whirlpool not being needed outside of battle in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The same can be done with {{m|Defog}} by transferring a Pokémon that learned it by HM in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to HeartGold or SoulSilver.
* This move [[Poliwrath (Base Set 13)|originated]] as a TCG {{TCG|attack}}.
