Hurricane (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Hurricane (Japanese: ぼうふう Windstorm) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation V. It was TR89 in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and is TM160 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generation V

Hurricane deals damage and has a 30% chance of confusing the target. Hurricane can hit non-adjacent targets in Triple Battles.

Hurricane can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop.

When used during rain, Hurricane bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Dive. When used during harsh sunlight, it has an accuracy of 50%.

Generation VI onwards

Hurricane's power changed from 120 to 110.

Hurricane can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move Rain Dance was used in the prior turn.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Hurricane's power has been lowered to 100. It also can no longer confuse the target, since the status condition is not present in this game.

Trivia

• Both Hurricane and Thunder never miss during rain. This may be a relation to a thunderstorm.
• Hurricane will not lift Dugtrio or Diglett off the ground in the Generation VI animation like it does with other Pokémon.
