Effect

Whirlwind can be used to automatically end wild Pokémon battles, so long as the target is a lower level than the user.

In battle against a trainer, Whirlwind will force a switch to the next Pokémon from the trainer's party that is able to battle. If there isn't another Pokémon, Whirlwind will fail.

Whirlwind will fail when used against Pokémon with the ability Suction Cups or rooted by Ingrain.

Whirlwind can hit Pokémon using Fly.

Description

Description The foe is blown away, to be replaced by another Pokémon in its party. In the wild, the battle ends.
