Whirlwind (move): Difference between revisions

==Effect==

Whirlwind can be used to automatically end wild Pokémon battles and has normal priority. Even if a wild Pokémon uses the move, the battle will end. However, it has no effect in a Trainer battle. Also, its accuracy is 85%.

Now, when in battle against a Trainer, Whirlwind will force a switch with a randomly chosen Pokémon from the Trainer's party. If there isn't another Pokémon, Whirlwind will fail. It also has a priority of -1. If two Pokémon use Whirlwind at the same time, the faster one will fail and the slower one will switch it out. Its accuracy is 100% from Generation II on. Additionally, it now can hit Pokémon using {{m|Fly}}.

Whirlwind will fail when used against Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or rooted by {{m|Ingrain}}. In a Trainer battle, rather than switching out to a random Pokémon in the party, it switches out to the next Pokémon in line that has not fainted. Whirlwind has a priority of -5. If two Pokémon use Whirlwind at the same time, instead of the faster one failing, the faster one will go first and switch the slower one out.

Same as before, but it now has a priority of -6.

Same as before, but it can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} or {{a|Magic Bounce}}.

Whirlwind blows away the opponent in front in a straight line, contrary to the direction it is facing. If it hits a wall, it takes 5 damage. If it hits another Pokémon, both Pokémon take 5 damage.
