Trivia

  • Since Waterfall is a physical move in Generation IV, the Pokémon with the strongest Waterfall is Gyarados (Rayquaza and Dragonite have a higher Attack, but they don't get STAB).
  • Waterfall was the first move to become an HM in a generation after it was released. It is also one of the two HM moves learned by some Pokémon by leveling them up.
