'''Rapid Spin''' is a {{t|Normal}}-type move introduced in [[Generation II]] that deals very little damage. If it hits, it removes {{m|Leech Seed}}; several negative field effects: {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}; and variations on the trapping moves {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Bind}}. Rapid Spin is the most common way to clear the above negative field effects, and thus has a unique place in battling strategies.
