Whirlwind Effect

Switches the target out for another of its trainer’s Pokémon selected at random. Wild battles end immediately. Doesn’t affect Pokémon with Suction Cups or under the effect of Ingrain.

“The target is blown away, and a different Pokémon is dragged out. In the wild, this ends a battle against a single Pokémon.”

Target: One other Pokémon on the field, selected by the trainer.
