Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over bodies of water. When doing so, [[wild Pokémon]] may be encountered. Surfing is a very important mechanic of the games and must be used to complete the game, as all main series games to date have required Surf in order to reach [[Pokémon League]] where the [[Elite Four]] reside.


The speed of Surfing has varied dramatically through games. In Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}, the speed was at the same speed as walking. In [[Generation III]] the speed was increased to running-speed.
