Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Water Pulse isAzumarill's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgradingBubble into it instead ofPlay Rough. The move shoots a pulsing blast of water in front of the user. When the blast of water hits an enemy, decrease their movement speed for 2s and deal damage to all enemies in an area of effect around the initial target. The blast of water then automatically bounces to another target if one is available. Including the first target, the blast of water can bounce between up to three targets consecutively, and each hit behaves in the same way as the first. While the blast of water is traveling, the user can perform a short rolling dash in a designated direction. At level 13, the maximum number of targets that the blast of water can bounce between is increased by 2.
