Twister
DragonSpecial
Twister deals damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch (if the target has not yet moved). Pokémon with the ability Inner Focus or those behind a Substitute cannot be made to flinch. Twister can hit Pokémon during the invulnerable stages of Bounce, Fly and Sky Drop - and in the case of Bounce and Fly, inflicts double damage.
