A '''spinner''' is a phrase used to describe a certain tile featured in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, {{game|Yellow}}, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. The official name for this tile, if there is one, is unknown. This tile, when stepped upon, will whisk the player in the direction of the arrows depicted on it. The player will continue to travel in that direction until they hit a wall, land on another spinner (which may send them in a different direction) or land on a Stopper, a tile only used for that purpose. The name 'spinner' comes from the fact that the player is spun around while traveling.

Spinners are generally associated with that of [[Team Rocket]], and are first found in the [[Rocket Hideout]], where they form a complex maze that the player must work out to continue to the other levels. Other places involving Team Rocket include the [[Rocket Warehouse]] in FireRed/LeafGreen, and the [[Viridian Gym]], which is run by the Team Rocket Boss [[Giovanni]].

They also appear in [[Hoenn]], in the Trick House and in the [[Mossdeep Gym]] (excluding Emerald), and in [[Sinnoh]], inside the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. The [[Viridian City Gym]] in [[Kanto]] also continues to use spinners in HeartGold and SoulSilver, as it did when [[Giovanni]] was Gym Leader, despite {{ga|Blue}} taking the [[Leader|Gym Leader]]'s title in Generations II and IV.
