It was made 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 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.
