Hurricane is a -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 nine elemental moves that do the same damage, 120 HP, consisting of Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, Gunk Shot, Focus Blast, Blizzard, Zap Cannon, Power Whip, Hurricane and Megahorn.
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.

Trivia
- Both Hurricane and Thunder never miss during heavy rain. This may be a relation to a thunderstorm.
- Whimsicott and Volcarona are the only non- 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 -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.
