Hurricane (Japanese: ぼうふう Windstorm) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V.
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 cannot miss when used during heavy rain, but has an accuracy of 50% during intense sunlight. 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-flying types to learn this move, thus making them the only Pokémon to not receive STAB from it.
- Coincidentally, both are weak to Flying.
- No Generation II Pokémon can learn this move, even ironically Suicune, who is said to be the embodiment of the North Wind.
- Lugia cannot learn this move either, who ironically is said to be able to whip up a 40-day storm when flapping its wings.
