Moveset

Tackle Neutral Power 12 Energy 1 Cheap hit. Use it to bank energy for a Burst.

Air Cutter Wind Power 16 Energy 2 Fast elemental poke. Good when you need pressure without spending too much.

Gust Slash Wind Power 24 Energy 3 Reliable STAB damage. Costs more than you regen, so not every turn.

Cyclone Wind Power 32 Energy 4 Heavy mid-cost attack. Stronger than Strike, but not perfectly accurate.

Hurricane Wind Power 44 Energy 5 Heavy spike. Charge energy to afford it; can miss (85%).

Gale Force Wind Status Energy 3 Buffets the foe in a whirlwind: lowers Attack and Speed.

Evolution
