Talk:U-turn (move)

Somersault? WTF?!

What exactly is Somersault. I hear this word for the first time in my life. It sounds like some veeery weeeeird translation. --Maxim 14:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Somersaults is not a very weird translation. it is a move that most gymnasts can do. it is a combination of a handstand and a back flip. It is pronounced like saying the words summer and salt together.

Somersaults are when you roll either on the ground or while jumping. Here is an example: [[1]] --1-Up 13:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm considering using this in place of Baton Pass on my team's Ninjask, and I was curious as to if this works similar.

Example:

Ninjask uses Agility three times, and its Speed Boost ability kicks in, then uses U-Turn. Will the Pokemon that I swap in gain the Agility buffs that Ninjask used, and as a separate question will the Speed Boost ability transfer over to the new Pokemon? Crenel 06:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't pass the stat gains, no. It's just like switching out. TTEchidna 07:14, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

T or t

The article is spelled U-turn, and that's also what the in-game TM is called. However, when used in battle, it's U-Turn. So which is it!? I know people went around a while ago making all the uppercase ones lowercase, but I'm not so sure. Porygon-Z 02:36, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

If it fails

If there is no other pokémon in the party and a pokémon uses U-turn, does it still do damage? Kanjo 22:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 01:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

So, to clarify...

This isn't clear anywhere, so I thought I'd ask here- is it possible to use U-turn before your opponent moves, then switch Pokemon, then have your opponent attack? Shady got 10,000 for winning 13:01, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
