Twister (Japanese: たつまき Twister) is a damage-dealing Dragon-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Twister inflicts damage and has a 20% chance of causing each target to flinch. It will hit all adjacent opponents in battles featuring multiple Pokémon.

Twister can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of Fly, Bounce and Sky Drop, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.

Twister will hit Berry trees found in the background of battles.
