DescriptionDeals damage, but does less damage as the user's HP decreases. Base Power is calculated thus: Base Power = 150 * (User's Current HP / User's Maximum HP) In a double or triple battle, this move will hit all opposing Pokemon adjacent to the user. If it hits multiple Pokemon in this way, its Base Power is reduced to 75% of its usual power. Attacks on multiple Pokemon are considered separate attacks, so the move may hit one Pokemon but fail to hit another. Competitive UseThis move has the potential to be immensely powerful as long as you can keep the user from being damaged. It is often used on Kyogre to deal massive damage to the opposition – between Choice Specs, Drizzle, a base 150 Special Attack stat and a 150 Base Power STAB move, there is basically nothing in the game that can stop it; however, in the long run, Hydro Pump and Surf are both more reliable options. For example, below 80% health, Hydro Pump is stronger, and below about 63% health, Surf is stronger. Most of the other users, such as Blastoise and Jellicent, are defensively inclined, so prefer Surf. Related MovesSurf is a less powerful but more consistent alternative. Hydro Pump is a less powerful and accurate but more consistent alternative. Eruption is a Fire-type equivalent.
