The effects of Whirlpool are the same as in Generation II, but if a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Whirlpool 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.
