Rapid Spin

Normal

Summary

Rapid Spin is a Normal-type move with 50 power and 100% accuracy. In addition to dealing damage, Rapid Spin removes certain effects on the user’s side of the field, such as binding moves (like Wrap and Fire Spin), Leech Seed, Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes. Furthermore, starting from Generation VIII, Rapid Spin also increases the user’s Speed stat by one stage after use. Despite its relatively low power, Rapid Spin is highly valued in competitive play for its utility in clearing entry hazards and providing momentum with the Speed boost.
