On this page , we can see....
Whirlpool Whirlpool allows you to cross swirling maelstroms in your path. (Only Generations II and V have Whirlpools that can be passed.)

This is a typo, because whirlpools are found only in Generation II (G/S/C) and Generation IV (HG/SS) , not Generation V, since there are no whirlpools in the whole of Unova...
It's been fixed. Thanks for letting me know!
