Razor Wind (Japanese: かまいたち Razor Wind) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM02 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Razor Wind does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than saying "<Pokémon> made a whirlwind!". On the following turn, Razor Wind inflicts damage, PP is deducted, and it will count as the last move used. Once Razor Wind is selected, the user will be unable to switch out until Razor Wind has been disrupted or fully executed. Accuracy in this Generation is 75%.

If Razor Wind is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user creates a whirlwind, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Razor Wind (or fail if it cannot).

Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Razor Wind.

In Pokémon Stadium, Mirror Move will copy Razor Wind on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Generation II

Razor Wind now has an increased critical hit ratio.

Generation III

Razor Wind now has an accuracy of 100%. It has no increased critical hit ratio. The charging turn now says "<Pokémon> whipped up a whirlwind!"

In battles with multiple opponents, it targets all adjacent opponents.

Generation IV onward

Razor Wind again has an increased critical hit ratio.

If a Power Herb is held by the user, Razor Wind can be executed in one turn.

Trivia

  • In FireRed and LeafGreen, Razor Wind's in-game description states it has an increased critical hit ratio. However, Razor Wind does not have an increased critical hit ratio in Generation III.
  • Despite being introduced in Generation I, no Pokémon could learn it by leveling up until Generation III.
  • Razor Wind has the lowest index number of all special moves.
  • The Japanese name of the move, Kamaitachi, is a direct reference to the Japanese yōkai of the same name. Kamaitachi is a weasel that is depicted with sharp claws, riding on a gust of wind and cutting people's skin on the legs.
