Waterfall (obstacle)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Jump to navigationJump to search
Waterfalls are a type of aquatic obstacle appearing in the core series games in Generations II to VI and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. To get past them, the player must have a Pokémon use the field move Waterfall.
In Generations II and III, the field move Waterfall is only required to ascend waterfalls, not descend them. From Generation IV onwards, the move is required to both ascend and descend waterfalls.

Trivia
- A waterfall-like structure appears in the Distortion World in Platinum. Due to the irregular gravity, however, only the field move Surf is required to traverse it.
