Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	Snivy starts spinning its body around and flips around so it is spinning on its head with its tail straight up in the air. Then, a large tornado of wind with a circles of light green energy spinning around it appears at the tip of Snivy's tail. The tornado sticks to Snivy's tail where ever it goes. It then swings on its side and catches the opponent in the tornado. As it catches the opponent, the light green energy circles separate into light green glowing leaves that spin around inside the tornado with the opponent. The wind then starts glowing green and Snivy swings around, slamming the tornado into the ground.

	Servine jumps and spins on its head with its tail straight up in the air. Servine then starts spinning its body and a large light green, green and dark green tornado with glowing light green leaves inside it appears around the end of Servine's tail and spins around with it. Servine then spins around on its side and catches the opponent inside of the tornado. Once the tornado has captured the opponent, it separates from the air, moves back into an upward position and floats up into the air. The tornado then crashes down onto the ground, crushing the opponent against the floor.
