Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Leaf Tornado is Eldegoss's first move. It is obtained by evolving from Gossifleur at level 4 and upgrading Leafage into it instead of Pollen Puff. The user conjures a tornado full of leaves, which damages enemies and creates a gust of wind that increases the movement speed of allies that touch it. When the tornado reaches max distance, it damages enemies near it a second time. At level 11, enemies hit by the tornado will miss all of their basic attacks for 2.5s.
