Article on Bulbapedia | Waterfall (move) |
Waterfall (たきのぼり, Waterfall Climb) is Squirtle's up special move.
Overview
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.
