U-turn (move): Difference between revisions

U-turn deals [[damage]] and then [[Recall|switches the user out]]. The user will not be switched out if the user is the only Pokémon in the [[party]] that is able to battle, if the target's Ability is {{a|Wimp Out}}, or if using U-turn ends the battle. If U-turn faints a foe Trainer's Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent out by the user will not be counted for additional experience and if the user is battling an NPC, the player will still have the ability to switch Pokémon in between Pokémon that have fainted. If the next Pokémon sent out by the user is holding the Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, it will be counted for that even if it is immediately switched out in between fainted Pokémon.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if the Pokémon selected after the switch-out is holding a [[Choice item]] and also knows the move U-turn, they will be forced to use U-turn as their next attack despite not having made a move.

U-turn may be used to switch out of {{m|Ingrain}}, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. U-turn can also be used to switch out even if the user is under the effect of {{a|Arena Trap}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, or {{m|Block}}. U-turn will not force a switch if the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}} or the target is holding an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Eject Button}}.
