Is the accuracy of Whirlwind not affected by moves such as Flash?
Was doing a status moves only challenge in Pokémon Blue and trying to catch a wild Pidgey or Pidgeotto. They kept chasing me away with Whirlwind, so I thought I would try to mitigate that by putting them to sleep and using Flash. However, even after hitting them with Flash 6 times, they seem to always hit Whirlwind. I have not seen them miss even once. Is Whirlwind not affected by Flash?
Best Answer
Whirlwind is affected by accuracy and evasion like most other moves. Since Whirlwind's base accuracy is 85%, it still has a 21% chance of landing after using Flash 6 times.

Can you miss whirlwind?
In wild Pok\xe9mon battles, Whirlwind will now always fail if the user's level is less than the target's. In Trainer battles, Whirlwind will now succeed if it hits, regardless of either Pok\xe9mon's level.What type of move is Whirlwind?
Whirlwind is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. In encounters with wild Pok\xe9mon, the move blows them away, ending the battle. In Trainer battles, it switches the opponent's Pok\xe9mon with another random Pok\xe9mon in his/her party.How GOOD was Exploud ACTUALLY? - History of Exploud in Competitive Pokemon
