Whirlpool (Japanese: うずしお Whirl Tide) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II. It was the first HM move to lose its HM status, and was later followed by Flash and Dive. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, it regained its HM status, though as HM05 rather than HM06.

Effect

Generation II

In battle

Whirlpool inflicts damage and traps the target in a whirlpool for 2-5 turns, damaging them slightly at the end of each turn.

Outside of battle

Whirlpool clears whirlpools in the field.

Generation III

Whirlpool inflicts damage and traps the target in a whirlpool for 2-5 turns, damaging them slightly (1/16 of max health) at the end of each turn.

If a wild Pokémon uses Whirlpool on the player's Pokémon, the player may escape if his or her Pokémon has the Run Away ability. However, Run Away does not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out. Whirlpool can hit a target during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dive.

Generation IV

If the user of Whirlpool is holding a Grip Claw, the duration of Whirlpool is always 5 turns.

Trivia

  • Although it is only one of three moves to lose HM status, and in fact the first one, it is also the only former HM to regain that status.
    • This makes it the only HM move teachable by two separate HMs: HM06 in Generation II, and HM05 in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
  • Empoleon is the only dual-type Pokémon that can learn Whirlpool by leveling up.
