Whirlwind (Japanese: ふきとばし Blow Away) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM04 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

If Whirlwind is used in a wild Pokémon battle by a Pokémon on either side, the battle will automatically end. In a Trainer battle, Whirlwind has no effect. Whirlwind has 85% accuracy and normal priority.

Generation II

When in a Trainer battle, Whirlwind will now force the target to switch with a randomly chosen Pokémon from its Trainer's party. If there is no Pokémon for the target to switch with, Whirlwind will fail. Whirlwind's accuracy is increased to 100% and its priority is decreased to -1. If two Pokémon use Whirlwind on each other in the same turn, the faster one will fail and the slower one will force it to switch out. Whirlwind can now hit Pokémon using Fly.

Generation III

Whirlwind will fail when used against Pokémon with the Ability Suction Cups or rooted by Ingrain. Whirlwind's priority is decreased to -5. If two Pokémon use Whirlwind on each other in the same turn, instead of the faster one failing, the faster one will go first and force the slower one to switch out.

Generation IV

If a wild Pokémon uses Whirlwind against a Pokémon with a higher level, Whirlwind will now fail. Whirlwind now has a priority of -6.

Generation V

Whirlwind no longer works if the target is a wild Pokémon with a higher level than the user's. Whirlwind is now reflected by Magic Coat and Magic Bounce.

Generation VI

Whirlwind is now unaffected by accuracy and evasion. Whirlwind can now hit a target even if it has used Protect, Detect, or Spiky Shield, but will fail if the target is protected by Crafty Shield.

In a wild Horde Encounter, if a wild Pokémon uses Whirlwind, it will force the target to switch with a Pokémon from its Trainer's party, regardless of the target's level. If the Trainer's Pokémon uses Whirlwind, however, it will fail.
