Tailwind Effect

Has the user whip up a whirlwind in the designated direction, dealing damage to the opposing Pokemon it hits. The whirlwind then remains on the field for a short time. Ally Pokemon moving in the same direction as the whirlwind have their movement speed increased, while opposing Pokemon moving against the whirlwind have their movement speed decreased.

How to Use Tailwind

Harass Opponents from Range

Tailwind deals a ton of damage in the early game and has a long range. Use it to harass opponents in the lane from a safe range to get an early advantage.

Secure Wild Pokemon

Tailwind can also be used to secure wild Pokemon in the early game due to its damage and long range.

Utiize the Movement Speed Increase/Decrease

Tailwind creates a whirlwind in a line. Ho-Oh and any ally that moves in the same direction as the whirlwind will have their movement speed increased while opponents that move against the whirlwind will be slowed. Take advantage of this effect when ganking opponents or escaping.

Tailwind Patch History

1.20.1.2 Damage decreased by 15%.
1.16.1.2 Damage reduced by 20%.
