Has a 30% chance to confuse the target. This move can hit a target using Bounce, Fly, or Sky Drop, or is under the effect of Sky Drop. If the weather is Primordial Sea or Rain Dance, this move does not check accuracy. If the weather is Desolate Land or Sunny Day, this move's accuracy is 50%. If this move is used against a Pokemon holding Utility Umbrella, this move's accuracy remains at 70%.
At 110 base power it is the 6th strongest of the 40 damaging special moves that appear in this format.
8 of the 282 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Hurricane. The one that matters most is Mega Charizard Y, which is on 30.6% of teams and carrys it on 2.3% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.
As a Flying move it is super effective against Bug, Fighting and Grass, resisted by Electric, Rock and Steel. 4 other Flying moves appear in this format: Tailwind, Dual Wingbeat, Brave Bird, Roost.
21 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Hurricane at all, against the 8 that actually bring it. The gap is the interesting number: it is the set of Pokémon that have the option and decline it. The most-played of those are Whimsicott, Talonflame, Aerodactyl, Corviknight, Staraptor and Volcarona — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.
Across the ladder, Hurricane accounts for an expected 0.17 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 30th most-brought of the 126 moves this format runs. 4% of that comes from Mega Charizard Y alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its carriers are mostly Flying (6), Dragon (3) and Normal (3).
Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.
