Red stepping on spinners.

A spinner is a phrase used to describe a certain tile featured in Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The official name for this tile, if there is one, is unknown. This tile, when stepped upon, will whisk the player in the direction of the arrows depicted on it. The player will continue to travel in that direction until they hit a wall, land on another spinner (which may send them in a different direction) or land on a Stopper, a tile only used for that purpose. The name 'spinner' comes from the fact that the player is spun around while traveling.

Spinners are generally associated with that of Team Rocket, and are first found in the Rocket Hideout, where they form a complex maze that the player must work out to continue to the other levels. Other places include Viridian Gym, and the Rocket Warehouse in FireRed/LeafGreen.

They also appear in Mossdeep Gym in Ruby/Sapphire and the Trick House in Hoenn, as well as Fuego Ironworks in Sinnoh, although these locations have no association with Team Rocket.
