'''Fire Spin''' (Japanese: '''ほのおのうず''' ''Flame Swirl'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

Fire Spin has a power of 15 and an accuracy of 70. Fire Spin inflicts damage and traps the target for 2-5 turns, damaging the target at the end of each turn. There is a 37.5% chance that it will attack for 2 turns, a 37.5% chance that it will attack for 3 turns, a 12.5% chance that it will attack for 4 turns, and a 12.5% chance that it will attack for 5 turns. Although only the first hit can be a [[critical hit]], each consecutive turn will deal the same amount of damage. While the target is trapped, it will be unable to attack, and if the user of Fire Spin strikes before the target, when used, the target will also be unable to attack during the same turn.

In Pokémon Stadium, if the target Pokémon switches out before the duration ends Fire Spin is ended and the user's turn is skipped.

If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Fire Spin on the player's Pokémon, the player may now 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!"

Fire Spin can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra four appeal points if the move {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

==Trivia==

*Despite the function of binding moves being changed from Generation I to Generation II, Fire Spin's description in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] still states it makes the target unable to move. This is also the case for {{m|Bind}} and {{m|Wrap}}.
