Fire Spin (move): Difference between revisions

The effects of Fire Spin are the same as in Generation II, but if a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Fire Spin on the player's Pokémon, the player may escape if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|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!"

If the user of Fire Spin is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration of Fire Spin will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}, it can switch out.

Fire Spin's power and accuracy were raised to 35 and 85 respectively, and now lasts for four to five turns. If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}} is held by the user, the damage done at the end of each turn will increase from 1/16 of the target's maximum HP to 1/8. The text changes again, this time to "<Pokémon> was trapped in the fiery vortex!"

The end turn damage of Fire Spin is increased from 1/16 to 1/8 of the target's maximum HP. If the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}}, the end turn damage of Fire Spin will increase to 1/6 of the target's maximum HP. Ghost-type Pokémon cannot be trapped by Fire Spin.
