Surf (Japanese: なみのり Surfing) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation I. It is HM03 in all generations.
Effect
In battle
Generations I and II
Surf inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.
Generation III
In a Double Battle, Surf will hit both opposing Pokémon. Its base power is doubled if it is used against a Pokémon using Dive.
Generation IV
Surf will now hit allies.
Generation V
In Triple Battles, Surf will hit all other adjacent Pokémon, including allies.
Generation VI
Surf's power changed from 95 to 90. Surf will also destroy stalagmites found in the background of battles.
Outside of battle
Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over bodies of water. When doing so, wild Pokémon may be encountered. Surfing is a very important mechanic of the games and usually must be used to complete the game, as all main series games to date except Pokémon Black and White have required Surf in order to reach the Pokémon League where the Elite Four reside.
The speed of Surfing has varied dramatically through games. In Generations I and II, the speed was at the same speed as walking. In Generation III, the speed was increased to running speed. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Surfing speed was reduced to walking speed again. The speed was returned to running speed in Pokémon Platinum.
When Surf is used outside of battle, the sprite of an aquatic Pokémon carrying the player on the water is shown. This sprite is generic, so the same sprite is used for every surfing Pokémon, regardless of the Pokémon's own menu sprite. These sprites change between generations. In Generation I, the sprite used is the one used to display all aquatic Pokémon, and resembles Seel and Dewgong. In Generation II, the sprite resembles a red Lapras (blue in Crystal if the player is a girl). In both Generations I and II, a Pikachu using Surf will display a surfing Pikachu sprite instead of the normal one. From Generation III onwards, the sprite is indistinguishable as a specific Pokémon, although as of Generation VI, surfing on Lapras specifically will show the player riding on Lapras instead of the usual generic shape. Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby expand on this with Kyogre, Wailmer and Sharpedo all having their own model. In addition Kyogre moves faster has a larger hitbox when using surf and Sharpedo moves twice as fast as normal but prevents fishing.
