'''Waterfall''' ({{ja|たきのぼり|Taki Nobori}}, ''Waterfall Climb'') is [[Squirtle]]'s [[up special move]].

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]].

==Instructional quotes==

|ssbbdesc=Scramble diagonally up on a raging water torrent. Very useful as a recovery technique.

|ssbudesc=Rides a torrent of water, hitting opponents. Tilting left and right can adjust the rising angle.

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.
