Outside of battle

Main article:Waterfall (obstacle)

Waterfall isusable outside of battle, allowing the player to climbwaterfalls. In several games, this move is needed to travel past certain points where waterfalls block the player's path.

The player is required to besurfing on water and facing a waterfall when using this move. They can either use Waterfall from theparty screen or simply press A to interact with the waterfall.

Prior to Generation V, all the waterfalls climbable with this move flowed from north to south (from the top to the bottom of the game screen).

In certain games, using Waterfall outside of battle requires a specificbadge; the Volcano BadgeFRLG, Rising BadgeGSCHGSS, Rain BadgeRSEORAS, Beacon BadgeDPPtBDSP, or Iceberg BadgeXY.

Generation I

Waterfall is not a field move in this generation.

Generations II and III

Waterfall is now an HM move which allows the player to climb waterfalls. This move is not required to go down waterfalls.

Generations IV to VI

Waterfall is now required to go down waterfalls.

InPokémon Platinum, there is a waterfall in theDistortion World that can be climbed without having the move Waterfall or theBeacon Badge. This is likely due to the fact that gravity is not normal in this world; the player appears to be "surfing" on the waterfall's surface.

Generation VII

Waterfall can no longer be used outside of battle.

Generation VIII

InPokémon Sword and Shield, Waterfall cannot be used outside of battle. InPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it can again and functions as it did in Generations IV to VI, aside from being accessed through thePokétch rather than being taught to a Pokémon.

Generation IX

Waterfall can no longer be used outside of battle.

Trivia

  • The English name "Waterfall" leaves out the part about climbing, as opposed to the Japanese name "たきのぼり" (Waterfall Climb). Some in-game descriptions (starting in theJapanese Pokémon Stadium) further clarify that the user is charging with enough force to climb waterfalls.
    • In the English version ofPokémon Red, Blue, andYellow, there is no indication that this move involves climbing waterfalls, because these games do not include move descriptions.
    • In the Japanese version ofPokémon Gold, Silver, andCrystal, 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: "RisingBadge will enable yourPokémon to use the move for climbing waterfalls."
    • In several games, a waterfall appears when this move is used in-battle. This may incorrectly suggest that the user is summoning a waterfall. While this is most notable in the side series games such as the Pokémon Stadium games, Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness, the attack has been correctly depicted bySquirtle in theSuper Smash Bros. series.
  • Waterfall was the first move to gain HM status in ageneration after it was introduced, doing so inGeneration II. OnlyRock 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 formersignature move to later become an HM move.
  • InPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire,Wallace gives outHM05 (Waterfall) instead of aTM. This is the only time aGym Leader gives out anHM instead of a TM.
  • InGeneration II only, the surfing Pokémon spins quickly when it is climbing a waterfall.
  • InGeneration VI, if the player uses Waterfall to go up or down a waterfall while riding on a Pokémon with a uniqueSurfing model (likeLapras), 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.
  • InPokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, onBattle CD 38,Anorith knows Waterfall, although itcannot learn the move.
  • Waterfall is the onlyWater-type move capable of making the targetflinch.
