Hurricane is a Flying-type move introduced in Generation V. The user creates monstrously strong winds that surround the opponent that may leave it confused. It never misses in heavy rain, but has 50% accuracy in intense sunlight. It is also one of eight elemental moves that do the same damage, 120 HP, consisting of Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, Gunk Shot, Focus Blast, Blizzard, Zap Cannon, Power Whip and Hurricane.

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.

In battle

Trivia

Both Hurricane and Thunder never miss during heavy rain. This may be a relation to a thunderstorm.
- Dragonite is the only Pokémon with access to both Hurricane and Thunder. Notably, the legenday birds Articuno and Moltres both naturally learn Hurricane, but Zapdos, who has access to Thunder, does not.
Whimsicott and Volcarona are the only non-Flying types to learn this move, and not receive STAB.
- Of these two, Whimsicott is the only one that is not based on a flying creature.
- These Pokémon are weak to Flying-type.
No Pokémon of Generation II can learn this move (except for Smeargle), Suicune doesn't learn this move, even Lugia, who is said to be able to whip up a 40-day storm when flapping its wings.
