===In battle===
===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====
====Generation II====
Whirlpool inflicts 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. The text "<Pokémon> was trapped!" will appear. It also traps the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If the user switches out, the target will be freed. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed.
When this move traps the target, this text appears: "<Pokémon> was trapped!"


Whirlpool has a power of 15 and an accuracy of 70.
Whirlpool is not affected by [[King's Rock]].


====Generations III and IV====
{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon can be trapped by Whirlpool.
Whirlpool can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dive, and if it does, it will have its power doubled.


If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Whirlpool 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. The text also changes to "<Pokémon> was trapped in the vortex!"
====Generations III to V====
When this move traps the target, this text now appears: "<Pokémon> was trapped in the vortex!"


If the user of Whirlpool 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.
Whirlpool is now affected by [[King's Rock]].


Whirlpool can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra three appeal points if the move {{m|Rain Dance}} was used in the prior turn.
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 V====
====Generation VI onwards====
Whirlpool's power and accuracy were increased to 35 and 85 respectively, and it now lasts for four to five turns. In addition, if the user of Whirlpool is holding a [[Binding Band]], it inflicts 1/8 of the target's maximum HP instead of 1/16 when the target is trapped. If the user of Clamp is holding a [[Grip Claw]], the duration will be 7 turns.
{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon cannot be trapped by Whirlpool.


If Whirlpool hits Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dive}}, now technically the damage will be doubled, resulting in virtually the same effect.
===Outside of battle===
{{main|Whirlpool (obstacle)}}


====Generation VI onward====
This move is usable either from the [[party]] or simply by pressing A when facing a whirlpool.
The end-of-turn damage of Whirlpool is increased from 1/16 to 1/8 of the target's maximum HP. If the user is holding a [[Binding Band]], the end-of-turn damage will increase to 1/6 of the target's maximum HP. {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon cannot be trapped by Whirlpool.


===Outside of battle===
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Glacier Badge is required to use Whirlpool outside of battle.


====Generation II====
====Generation II====

====Generation IV====
====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 [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Whirlpool is a move with base power of 2, 17PP and 78% accuracy. It hits enemy in the front, and has a 10% chance of inflicting the Constriction [[status condition]] on an opponent. As in main series, Whirlpool can hit a Pokémon in middle of {{m|Dive}} for double the damage.
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}}.
