Hurricane

Hurricane (ぼうふう Windstorm) is a Flying-type move introduced in Generation V. The user creates monstrous, strong winds that surround the opponent that may leave it confused. It never misses in heavy rain, but has 50% accuracy in intense sunlight.

Effect

Hurricane deals damage and has a 30% chance of confusing the target. It can't confuse a target that has a Substitute. Hurricane can hit non-adjacent opponents in triple battles. Hurricane can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of moves such as Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop.

Description

The user attacks by wrapping its opponent in a fierce wind that flies up into the sky. It may also confuse the target.

Trivia

• Both Hurricane and Thunder never miss during heavy rain. This may be a relation to a thunderstorm.
• No Generation II Pokémon can learn this move, even ironically Suicune, who is said to be the embodiment of the North Wind.
• Whimsicott and Volcarona are the only non-flying types to learn this move
