General Info

U-turn inflicts damage and immediately swaps out the user, except in cases where the user is the only available Pokémon or U-turn triggers Wimp Out, Emergency Exit, or ends the battle. If U-turn defeats an opponent Trainer's Pokémon, the subsequent Pokémon sent out doesn't earn extra experience. When battling NPCs, the player can switch Pokémon between faintings. A Pokémon holding an Amulet Coin or Luck Incense will boost earnings if sent out briefly. If the opponent uses Pursuit on the same turn as U-turn, Pursuit inflicts normal damage if the foe is faster, and double damage if the foe is slower. U-turn can be used to exit Ingrain, but it won't pass on Ingrain's effects. U-turn allows switching even under effects like Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, Shadow Tag, Mean Look, Spider Web, or Block. It doesn't force a switch if the user holds a Red Card or the target holds an Eject Button.
