Fire Spin (move)

Fire Spin is a special Fire-type move.

Effect
Fire Spin inflicts damage and traps the target for 4-5 turns, damaging the target at the end of each turn.

Fire Spin can thaw a frozen target.

If a wild Pokémon uses Fire Spin on the player's Pokémon, the player may now escape if the affected Pokémon has Run Away or is holding a Smoke Ball. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out. The text also changes to " was trapped in the vortex!"

If the user of Fire Spin is holding a Grip Claw, the duration of Fire Spin will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a Shed Shell, it can switch out.
