Water Shuriken (Japanese: みずしゅりけん Water Shuriken) is a damage-dealing Water-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation VI. In Generation VIII, it is the signature move of Accelgor.
Effect
Generation VI
Water Shuriken is a physical move in this generation.
Water Shuriken deals damage and is an increased priority move, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.
Water Shuriken may continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.
If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.
If the user is holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to flinch.
Generation VII onward
Water Shuriken is now a special move.
If the target has Water Compaction or Stamina, each strike will activate it.
If Battle Bond is activated, Water Shuriken's power rises from 15 to 20, and it always hits three times.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Water Shuriken cannot be selected in a battle.

When covered in a veil of water, Ash-Greninja forms a shuriken of water in one or both its hands. It then tosses the shuriken or shurikens at the opponent. When it's in its final form, it instead grabs the shuriken on its back and throws it at the opponent. After it does so, another shuriken pops up on Ash-Greninja's back. At times, this shuriken can grow to a larger size to deal more damage to the opponent. | |||
