On Smogon's Movedex:

U-turn (Japanese:とんぼがえりRound-trip) is a damage-dealingBug-type move introduced inGeneration IV.

It is:

TM89 from Generation IV toPokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as inPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
TM18 inPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
TM56 inPokémon Sword and Shield.
TM060 inPokémon Scarlet and Violet.
TM082 inPokémon Legends: Z-A.

Effect

U-turn dealsdamage and thenswitches the user out. The user will not be switched out if the user is the only Pokémon in theparty that is able to battle, if U-turn triggers an opponent'sWimp Out orEmergency Exit Ability, or if using U-turn ends the battle. If U-turn knocks out an opponent Trainer's Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent out by the user will not be counted for additionalexperience, and if the user is battling an NPC, the player will still have the ability to switch Pokémon in between Pokémon that have fainted. If the next Pokémon sent out by the user is holding anAmulet Coin orLuck Incense, it will be counted for that even if it is immediately switched out in between fainted Pokémon.

If the opposing Pokémon usesPursuit on the same turn U-turn is used, Pursuit will deal normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.

U-turn may be used to switch out ofIngrain, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. U-turn can also be used to switch out even if the user is under the effect ofArena Trap,Magnet Pull,Shadow Tag,Mean Look,Spider Web, orBlock. U-turn will not force a switch if the user is holding aRed Card or the target is holding anEject Button.

Generation IV

In all Generation IV games, includingPokémon Battle Revolution, due to the way the game resolves activation ofKing's Rock andRazor Fang's flinch effects, only whether the Pokémon selected after the switch-out is holding one of these items is taken into account.

InPokémon Diamond and Pearl only, if the Pokémon selected after the switch-out is holding aChoice item and also knows the move U-turn, they will be forced to use U-turn as their next attack despite not having made a move.

Trivia

InDiamond, Pearl, andPlatinum, despite being spelled with a lowercase "t" (as "U-turn") on the status screen and asTM89, when used in battle it is displayed as "U-Turn".
U-turn may beBug-type because its Japanese name contains とんぼ (tonbo), which means dragonfly. In full, its name とんぼがえり (tonbogaeri) means 'Dragonfly Return' if translated in an alternative fashion.
- This is somewhat supported by the fact thatYanma andYanmega, both based on dragonflies, can learn the move by leveling up.
