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. The move is also used by Pokémon when they are summoned from a Poké Ball.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Single Pump: Greninja only throws one pump instead of two so it can only go one direction (like Fox's up special). It gains about 30% more distance.
- Super Hydro Pump: Greninja throws 2 pumps and it is much more controllable but slower and it doesn't do damage.
Use by other Pokémon
- Blastoise - When summoned as a Poké Ball Pokémon in SSB and Melee, Blastoise uses Hydro Pump in a horizontal direction.
- Kyogre - When summoned by a Poké Ball, Kyogre uses Hydro Pump with free range horizontally.
- Squirtle - When its trainer activates Triple Finish, Squirtle uses Hydro Pump as part of the Final Smash.
Kyogre's Hydro Pump in Brawl.
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.
