Torrent (Japanese: げきりゅう Raging Rapids) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Twenty-two Pokémon can have this Ability, all of which are Water types. All Water-type starter Pokémon have this Ability.
Effect
In battle
Generations III to IV
When a Pokémon with Torrent uses a Water-type move, the move's power will be increased by 50% if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.
Generations V onwards
Instead of boosting Water-type moves' power, Torrent now technically boosts the Pokémon's Attack or Special Attack by 50% during damage calculation if a Water-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect.
Outside of battle
Torrent has no effect outside of battle.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Torrent will deal double the damage if the Pokémon using it is below 25% of its HP.
