On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Flip Turn (Japanese: クイックターン Quick Turn) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation VIII.

Effect

Flip Turn deals damage and then 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 Flip Turn triggers an opponent's Wimp Out or Emergency Exit, or if using Flip Turn ends the battle. If Flip Turn faints an opponent 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 an Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, it will be counted for that even if it is immediately switched out in between fainted Pokémon.

Flip Turn may be used to switch out of Ingrain, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. Flip Turn can also be used to switch out even if the user is under the effect of Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, Shadow Tag, Mean Look, Spider Web, or Block. Flip Turn will not force a switch if the user is holding a Red Card or the target is holding an Eject Button.

Description

Games Description SwSh After making its attack, the user rushes back to switch places with a party Pokémon in waiting.
