Gust (Japanese: かぜおこし Stir Up Wind) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation II, it was a Normal-type move. Prior to Pokémon Yellow, it was the signature move of the Pidgey evolutionary line.
Effect
Generation I
Gust deals damage and has no secondary effect. It is a Normal-type move in this Generation.
Generations II on
Gust is now a Flying-type move. Gust can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop, and if it does it will deal double damage.
Gust can hit non-adjacent opponents in Triple Battles.

Trivia

- Despite the move's description stating that the wind is whipped up by wings, some wingless Pokémon can learn this move as well.
