'''Waterfall''' ({{ja|たきのぼり|Taki Nobori}}, ''Waterfall Climb'') is [[Squirtle]]'s [[up special move]].
'''Waterfall''' ({{ja|たきのぼり}} ''Taki Nobori'', '''Waterfall Climb''') is [[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]]'s [[up special move]]. A torrent of water appears that Squirtle "surfs" on top of. The attack does multiple hits with minor [[knockback]] towards the end. It is difficult to interrupt as a [[recovery]] move, as the hitbox is large, disjointed, and directly in front of Squirtle. The movement direction of the attack can be slightly altered with the [[control stick]] to be more vertical or more horizontal.


==Overview==
==Description from the Instruction Booklet==
A torrent of water appears that Squirtle "surfs" on top of. The attack hits multiple times with moderate [[knockback]] on the final hitbox. It is difficult to interrupt as a [[recovery]] move, as the [[hitbox]] is large, disjointed, and directly in front of Squirtle. The movement direction of the attack can be slightly altered with the [[control stick]] to either travel straight up with increased vertical distance or at a more horizontal angle with reduced vertical distance in the same manner as [[Mario]]'s [[Super Jump Punch]].
''Scramble diagonally up on a raging water torrent. Very useful as a recovery technique.''

Waterfall was introduced in Generation I as the signature move of the {{pkmn|Goldeen}} evolution line. Starting in Generation II, Waterfall became {{iw|bulbapedia|HM07}}, being distributed to many Water-type Pokémon, including Squirtle. When used outside of battle, the move allows the player to go up waterfalls. It was made {{iw|bulbapedia|HM05}} in Generation V and VI. In Generation VII, moves are no longer used outside of battles and HMs were removed as a feature. Waterfall, along with some other former HMs, became TMs instead, making Waterfall {{iw|bulbapedia|TM98}} in Generation VII. In battle, Waterfall is a physical Water-type attack since Generation IV that has above-average power, and as of Generation IV can make Pokémon flinch 20% of the time.
Waterfall was introduced in [[Pokémon (universe)#Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow|Generation I]] and was formerly a signature move of the Goldeen evolution line. Starting in [[Pokémon (universe)#Pokémon Gold and Silver|Generation II]], Waterfall is an HM (Hidden Machine) that allows a Pokémon to learn the move, which, when used outside of battle, allows the player to go up and down waterfalls. In battle, it is a physical Water-type attack since Generation IV with an above-average base power of 80, 100% accuracy, and (starting in Generation IV) a 20% chance of causing the target to flinch.

Squirtle can learn Waterfall via HM07 in Generation II, which allows it to use the move in Generation I via the Time Capsule; it has learned Waterfall ever since as well.
