'''Razor Wind''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|かまいたち|Kamaitachi}}''' ''{{wp|Kamaitachi|Razor Wind}}'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM02]] in Generation I.

Razor Wind does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than saying ''"<Pokémon> made a whirlwind!"''. On the following turn, Razor Wind inflicts damage, PP is deducted, and it will count as the last move used. Once Razor Wind is selected, the user will be unable to switch out until Razor Wind has been disrupted or fully executed. Razor Wind has 75% accuracy.

{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, [[bound|binding]], and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Razor Wind.

Razor Wind now has an accuracy of 100%. It has no increased critical hit ratio<!--not even in FRLG, despite the in-game text-->. The charging turn now says ''"<Pokémon> whipped up a whirlwind!"''

 

 

Razor Wind again has an increased critical hit ratio.

Razor Wind cannot be selected in a battle.

* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], no Pokémon could learn it by leveling up until [[Generation III]].

** [[Version-exclusive moves|No Pokémon are able to learn]] Razor Wind in [[Generation II]] without the player trading with a Generation I game first.

* Razor Wind has the lowest [[List of moves|index number]] of all [[special move]]s.

* The Japanese name of the move, {{wp|Kamaitachi}}, is a direct reference to the Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} of the same name. Kamaitachi is a weasel that is depicted with sharp claws, riding on a gust of wind and cutting people's skin on the legs.

** Despite {{p|Sneasel}} being based on it, it cannot learn Razor Wind.

* Razor Wind is one of the two {{cat|moves with a charging turn}} that cannot be used in [[Generation VIII]], the other being {{m|Sky Drop}}.
