Waterfall (move): Difference between revisions

'''Waterfall''' (Japanese: '''たきのぼり''' ''Waterfall Climb'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

* [[HM07]] from [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} to {{gen|IV}}.

* [[HM05]] in [[Generation V]] and {{gen|VI}}.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Waterfall cannot be used outside of battle. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it can again and functions as it did in Generations IV to VI, aside from being accessed through the [[Pokétch]] rather than being taught to a Pokémon.

Waterfall can no longer be used outside of battle.

==Trivia==

** In the English version of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, there is no indication that this move involves climbing waterfalls, because these games do not include move descriptions.

** In the Japanese version of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the act of "charging with enough force to climb waterfalls" is mentioned in the move description. In the English translation, this was shortened to simply "An aquatic charge attack." (leaving out again the part about climbing). However, [[Clair]] explains the move after being defeated: "<sc>RisingBadge</sc> will enable your <sc>Pokémon</sc> to use the move for climbing waterfalls."

* Waterfall was the first move to gain HM status in a [[generation]] after it was introduced, doing so in [[Generation II]]. Only {{m|Rock Smash}} shares this trait, although it does not remain an HM in all subsequent generations.

* Waterfall is the only HM move that was never exclusively taught by HM.

* Waterfall is the only former [[signature move]] to later become an HM move.

* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Wallace]] gives out [[HM05]] (Waterfall) instead of a [[TM]]. This is the only time a [[Gym Leader]] gives out an [[HM]] instead of a TM.

* In [[Generation VI]], if the player uses Waterfall to go up or down a waterfall while riding on a Pokémon with a unique {{m|Surf}}ing model (like {{p|Lapras}}), the screen will briefly be covered in a splash of water and then show the player at the other end of the waterfall, instead of showing the entire process.

* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], on {{DL|Battle CDs 31-40|Battle CD 38}}, {{p|Anorith}} knows Waterfall, although it [[Game move errors|cannot learn the move]].
