===Generation II===
===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 {{m|Fly}}.
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 Whirlwind is used before the opponent can make its move, Whirlwind will fail. Whirlwind can now hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}}.


===Generation III===
===Generation III to IV===
Whirlwind will fail when used against Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or rooted by {{m|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.
Whirlwind will fail when used against Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or rooted by {{m|Ingrain}}. It no longer fails if it is not used last. It will now fail to hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.


===Generation IV===
If the user's level is less than the target's, there is now a chance that Whirlwind will fail. The chance of failure starts at approximately 25%, but drops as the user's level increases. Given the terms ''T'' for the target's level, ''U'' for the user's level, and ''X'' for a random integer from 0 to 255, a term ''R'' can be calculated where <code>''R'' = FLOOR( ( ''T'' + ''U'' ) * ''X'' / 256 ) + 1</code>. If ''R'' is less than or equal to ''T''/4, Whirlwind fails. The chance of Whirlwind failing can generally be approximated by <code>( ''T'' / 4 + 1 ) / ( ''T'' + ''U'' )</code>; the chance of failing may diverge moderately from that approximation for low values of ''T'' and ''U''.
If a wild Pokémon uses Whirlwind against a Pokémon with a higher level, Whirlwind will now fail. Whirlwind now has a priority of -6.
 
Whirlwind now has a priority of -6.


===Generation V===
===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 {{m|Magic Coat}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}.
In wild Pokémon battles, Whirlwind will now always fail if the user's level is less than the target's. In Trainer battles, Whirlwind will now succeed if it hits, regardless of either Pokémon's level.


===Generation VI===
Whirlwind is now reflected by {{m|Magic Coat}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}.
Whirlwind now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Bounce}} (but not {{m|Fly}}). Whirlwind can now hit a target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}, but will fail if the target is protected by {{m|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.
If a battle with wild Pokémon ever involves more than one Pokémon on each side of the battle, Whirlwind will fail if used by the player's Pokémon against a wild Pokémon, but if a wild Pokémon uses it against the player, it will force the target to switch with another Pokémon in the Trainer's party, regardless of the target's level.
 
===Generation VI onwards===
Whirlwind now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Whirlwind can now hit a target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}, but will fail if the target is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.
 
Whirlwind can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}} or {{m|Toxic Spikes}} was used in the prior turn.
 
If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} into Z-Whirlwind, the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} stat raises one stage.

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 Whirlwind is used before the opponent can make its move, Whirlwind will fail. Whirlwind can now hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

Generation III to IV

Whirlwind will fail when used against Pokémon with the Ability Suction Cups or rooted by Ingrain. It no longer fails if it is not used last. It will now fail to hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

If the user's level is less than the target's, there is now a chance that Whirlwind will fail. The chance of failure starts at approximately 25%, but drops as the user's level increases. Given the terms T for the target's level, U for the user's level, and X for a random integer from 0 to 255, a term R can be calculated where R = FLOOR( ( T + U ) * X / 256 ) + 1. If R is less than or equal to T/4, Whirlwind fails. The chance of Whirlwind failing can generally be approximated by ( T / 4 + 1 ) / ( T + U ); the chance of failing may diverge moderately from that approximation for low values of T and U.

Whirlwind now has a priority of -6.

Generation V

In wild Pokémon battles, Whirlwind will now always fail if the user's level is less than the target's. In Trainer battles, Whirlwind will now succeed if it hits, regardless of either Pokémon's level.

Whirlwind is now reflected by Magic Coat and Magic Bounce.

If a battle with wild Pokémon ever involves more than one Pokémon on each side of the battle, Whirlwind will fail if used by the player's Pokémon against a wild Pokémon, but if a wild Pokémon uses it against the player, it will force the target to switch with another Pokémon in the Trainer's party, regardless of the target's level.

Generation VI onwards

Whirlwind now bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. 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.

Whirlwind can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Spikes, Stealth Rock or Toxic Spikes was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Whirlwind, the user's Special Defense stat raises one stage.
