Waterfall (obstacle)

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Waterfalls are a type of aquatic obstacle appearing in thecore series games inGenerations II toVI andPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. To get past them, theplayer must have aPokémon use thefield move Waterfall.

In Generations II andIII, the field move Waterfall is only required to ascend waterfalls, not descend them. FromGeneration IV onwards, the move is required to both ascend and descend waterfalls.
