Article on Bulbapedia | Hydro Pump (move) |
Hydro Pump[1] (ハイドロポンプ Hydro Pump) is Greninja's up special move. Greninja uses water to propel itself upward, using a manner similar to Pikachu's Quick Attack in that it can change directions while it moves, however unlike Quick Attack, the move can move twice the distance in a single direction and is a little slower, which gives it better maneuverability than Quick Attack does. The move is also used by Pokémon when they are summoned from a Poké Ball.

Origin
Hydro Pump is a powerful Water-type move that was introduced in Generation I. It has a base power of 110 (120 in Generations I-V), and was the strongest Water-type move before Generation III. However, it has an accuracy of 80%, and only 5 PP. Greninja is capable of learning this move by leveling up to level 60. It is described as "blasting the foe with a high volume of water" and is usually depicted as a single, large torrent of water launched at the foe - contrary to Greninja's usage in SSB4 which involves riding two thin jets of water.
