Trivia

  • Splash is the only move yet known to have no effect on either the opponent or the user. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, however, Splash will deal 5 damage to any foe in the way of the attack.
  • Splash was originally the signature move of Magikarp, but since Generation II, other Pokémon have been able to learn it.
  • Every Pokémon that can learn Splash by leveling up learns it as a starting move.
  • While the English name suggests an association with water, the Japanese name, はねる, can mean both "splash" and "hop" (although usually the latter). This explains why the move can be learned naturally by Pokémon such as Spoink and Hoppip, species who have no association with water but are known for hopping or jumping.
  • Generation III is the first (and so far only) generation to introduce more than one evolution family that can learn Splash by leveling up.
    • Both baby Pokémon that learn Splash by leveling up were also the only two introduced in Generation III.
  • Despite being the weakest move, it is an egg move.
  • Splash is the most useless move, but ironically it shares the Same index number as Mewtwo, 150
