In the wild, Whirlwind blows the target Pokémon away if they are of a lower level, and the battle ends.
In trainer battles (including linked battles), Whirlwind forces the target to switch out of battle (regardless of level) and is replaced with another Pokémon in the trainer's team.
Pokémon with the ability Suction Cups or those rooted by Ingrain are not affected by Whirlwind.
When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Whirlwind turns into Z-Whirlwind and raises Special Defense one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
