'''Surf''' (Japanese: '''なみのり''' ''Surfing'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].
 
It is:
* [[HM03]] from [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} through {{gen|VI}}.
* [[TM94]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].
* [[TM47]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TR04]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* [[TM95]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM123]] in [[Generation IX]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===In battle===
===In battle===
Surf inflicts damage.
Surf can hit during the target's [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of {{m|Dive}}, dealing twice the [[damage]] in all generations except in [[Generation IV]], where the [[power]] is doubled instead (resulting in virtually the same effect).
If a {{p|Cramorant}} with {{a|Gulp Missile}} uses Surf (or {{m|Dive}}), it catches prey and {{form|Chamorant|changes forms}}, unless it already caught prey or is [[Dynamax]]ed.
====Generations I and II====
====Generations I and II====
Surf inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.
Surf's power is 95.


====Generation III====
====Generation III====
Surf can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dive}}, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.
In a [[Double Battle]], Surf hits both opposing Pokémon.
 
Surf can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Dive}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if {{m|Dive}} or {{m|Rain Dance}} was used in the previous turn.
 
====Generations IV and V====
In a Double or [[Triple Battle]], Surf now hits all adjacent Pokémon, including allies.
 
====Generation VI onwards====
Surf's power has been reduced from 95 to 90. Surf will also destroy [[natural objects|stalagmites]] found in the background of {{pkmn|battle}}s.
 
===Outside of battle===
In all [[core series]] games up to [[Generation VI]] and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Surf is a [[field move]]; it can be used outside of battle to travel over [[Water tile|bodies of water]].
 
From [[Generation I]] onwards, Surf is usable from the [[party]] screen if the player is facing a water tile. From [[Generation II]] onwards, it is also possible to use Surf simply by pressing A to interact with a water tile. A surfing player can resume walking by simply moving onto land.
 
When surfing, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[wild Pokémon]] can be encountered. The other field moves {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Dive}} may only be used outside of battle when the player is surfing. The player is also able to [[fishing|fish]] for Pokémon while surfing.
 
Surf is required to complete almost all games where it is usable outside of battle, with the exception of {{game|Black and White|s}}. This move is needed to reach some cities, towns, and ultimately the [[Pokémon League]] where the [[Elite Four]] reside.
 
====Badges====
In certain games, Surf requires a specific [[badge]] to use outside of battle; the Soul Badge{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}, Fog Badge{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, Balance Badge{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}, Relic Badge{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}}, Fen Badge{{sup/4|Pt}}, or Rumble Badge{{sup/6|XY}}.
 
====Speed====
The speed of Surfing has varied back and forth through games:


In a [[Double Battle]], Surf will hit both opposing Pokémon.
* In Generations I and II, and in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the speed is the same as walking.
* In Generation III, and from {{game|Platinum}} onwards, the speed is the same as running.
** In Generation VI, surfing on {{p|Kyogre}} is faster than usual, and surfing on {{p|Sharpedo}} is twice as fast as usual.


Surf can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra three appeal points if {{m|Dive}} was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing {{m|Dive}} to give extra two appeal points if used in the next turn.
====Appearance====
====Generation IV====
When Surf is used outside of battle, the surfing Pokémon is controlled by the player. A generic aquatic Pokémon shape is used for most or all Pokémon in a given game. In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, the player character is not seen in the surfing sprite; only the Pokémon is seen. Starting in [[Generation III]], the player character is visibly riding the surfing Pokémon as well.
Surf will now hit all adjacent Pokémon, including allies.


====Generation V====
* In [[Generation I]], the surfing sprite used for almost all Pokémon resembles {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. This is the same generic sprite that represents fifteen {{t|Water}} Pokémon species in the [[party]] screen, although the [[Super Game Boy|color palette]] is not the same.
If Surf hits a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dive}}, its damage dealt to that Pokémon will be doubled instead of its power (resulting in virtually the same effect).
** In {{game|Yellow}}, if {{p|Pikachu}} uses Surf outside of battle, the sprite is a [[surfing Pikachu]].
* In [[Generation II]], the surfing sprite used for almost all Pokémon is a {{p|Lapras}}. This Lapras is red if the player is {{ga|Ethan|male}}, or blue if the player is {{ga|Kris|female}}. This is the same Lapras sprite used in the [[party]] screen.
** If {{p|Pikachu}} uses Surf outside of battle, the sprite is a surfing Pikachu as well. This Pikachu has a red surfboard if the player is male, or a blue surfboard if the player is female.
* In [[Generation VI]], surfing on {{p|Lapras}} specifically will show the player riding on Lapras instead of the usual generic shape. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, and {{p|Sharpedo}} all have their own surfing models; additionally, Kyogre moves faster and has a larger hitbox, while Sharpedo moves twice as fast as normal but prevents [[fishing]].
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, when Surf is used via the {{DL|Pokétch|Hidden Moves}} app, the player will be shown riding a {{p|Bibarel}}.


In [[Triple Battle]]s, Surf will hit all other adjacent Pokémon, including allies.
====Water tiles====
{{main|Water tile}}


====Generation VI====
In several games, there are water {{DL|Water tile|currents}} where the surfing player is forced to go in a certain direction. They are found in the [[Seafoam Islands]], [[Hoenn]] routes {{rtn|132|Hoenn}}, {{rtn|133|Hoenn}}, and {{rtn|134|Hoenn}}, as well as in [[Unova Route 17]].
Surf's power has been reduced from 95 to 90. Surf will also destroy [[natural objects|stalagmites]] found in the background of {{pkmn|battle}}s.


===Outside of battle===
In several games, there is {{DL|Water tile|shallow water}} and [[puddle]]s where the player walks instead of surfing. For instance, shallow water is found in the [[Shoal Cave]], and some puddles are found in [[Hoenn Route 120]].
Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over [[Water tile|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 {{game|Black and White|s}} 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 {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Surfing speed was reduced to walking speed again. The speed was returned to running speed in {{game|Platinum}}.
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are some fast currents at the [[Sevii Islands]] where the player is unable to use Surf.


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#Pokémon|menu]] sprite. These sprites change between generations. In Generation I, the sprite used is the one used to display all aquatic Pokémon, and resembles {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. In Generation II, the sprite resembles a red {{p|Lapras}} (blue in Crystal if the player is {{ga|Krys|a girl}}). In both Generations I and II, a {{p|Pikachu}} using Surf will display a {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} sprite instead of the normal one. From Generation III onwards, the sprite is indistinguishable as a specific Pokémon, although some Pokémon have special overworld sprites in the Generation VI games. In the Generation VI games, surfing on Lapras specifically will show the player riding on Lapras instead of the usual generic shape. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} all have their own surfing model; additionally, Kyogre moves faster and has a larger hitbox, while Sharpedo moves twice as fast as normal but prevents [[fishing]].
====Cycling Road glitch====
In [[Generation I]], due to [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Ghost Bicycle glitch|a glitch]], if the player saves at the {{ka|Cycling Road}} and then creates a new game, it will not be possible to use Surf outside of battle (or use the [[Bicycle]]) in the new game until the player does any of these things: [[black out|blacks out]] (either in battle or the overworld), uses {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Fly}} outside of battle, uses an [[Escape Rope]], or enters and leaves the Cycling Road.


In [[Generation VII]], Surf cannot be used outside of battle, as its function has been given to the [[Ride Pokémon]] {{p|Lapras}} and {{p|Sharpedo}}.
====Legacy====
From [[Generation VII]] onwards, Surf is no longer a [[field move]]. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], its functions are given to the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] {{p|Lapras}} and {{p|Sharpedo}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can use [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim instead. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player can travel across water after getting their [[Rotom Bike]] upgraded. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Surf is usable in the field again, but now it is accessed via the [[Pokétch]] rather than a party Pokémon. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player's {{ga|Koraidon}} or {{ga|Miraidon}} can travel across water in Swimming Build or Aquatic Mode, respectively.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Surf is {{p|Slowbro}}'s, {{p|Greninja}}'s, and {{p|Cramorant}}'s first move, as well as {{p|Blastoise}}'s second move.
Blastoise can obtain the move by reaching {{p|Wartortle}} stage at level 7 and upgrading {{m|Skull Bash}} into it instead of {{m|Rapid Spin}}. The user rides a large wave in the designated direction; damaging, knocking back, and stunning enemies hit for 1.6s. The user is unstoppable while surfing, and once it ends, the user can jump in a designated direction. The wave continues for a short duration after the user has leapt off and continues to knock back enemies hit but inflicts no damage. At level 13 or higher, the user gains a small shield when hitting an enemy with Surf.
Slowbro can obtain the move by evolving from {{p|Slowpoke}} at level 4 and upgrading {{m|Water Gun}} into it instead of {{m|Scald}}. The user rides on a wave, damaging, knocking enemies back, and throwing them in the air briefly. Two more waves follow after the first, damaging and slowing enemies. At level 11 or higher, the second and third waves will now also throw enemies in the air, and the second wave will knock them back.
Greninja can obtain the move by evolving from {{p|Frogadier}} at level 7 and upgrading {{m|Bubble}} into it instead of {{m|Water Shuriken}}. The user dashes on a wave, damaging enemies and healing themself for each enemy hit. Enemies below half health are dealt bonus damage, and if this move KOs an enemy, the cooldown is reset. At level 11, the healing increases.
Cramorant can obtain the move at level 6 by upgrading {{m|Whirlpool}} into it instead of {{m|Dive}}. The user sends a wave in a designated direction, damaging enemies that make contact with the wave. Once it reaches its full distance, the wave bounces back – further damaging and pulling back affected enemies. The user catches prey with the first wave, and can enter the wave that returns to catch prey for {{a|Gulp Missile}}. At level 13 or higher, the wave also slows down enemies.

Surf (Japanese: なみのり Surfing) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation I.

It is:

Effect

In battle

Surf inflicts damage.

Surf can hit during the target's semi-invulnerable turn of Dive, dealing twice the damage in all generations except in Generation IV, where the power is doubled instead (resulting in virtually the same effect).

If a Cramorant with Gulp Missile uses Surf (or Dive), it catches prey and changes forms, unless it already caught prey or is Dynamaxed.

Generations I and II

Surf's power is 95.

Generation III

In a Double Battle, Surf hits both opposing Pokémon.

Surf can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Dive to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if Dive or Rain Dance was used in the previous turn.

Generations IV and V

In a Double or Triple Battle, Surf now hits all adjacent Pokémon, including allies.

Generation VI onwards

Surf's power has been reduced from 95 to 90. Surf will also destroy stalagmites found in the background of battles.

Outside of battle

In all core series games up to Generation VI and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Surf is a field move; it can be used outside of battle to travel over bodies of water.

From Generation I onwards, Surf is usable from the party screen if the player is facing a water tile. From Generation II onwards, it is also possible to use Surf simply by pressing A to interact with a water tile. A surfing player can resume walking by simply moving onto land.

When surfing, Pokémon Trainers and wild Pokémon can be encountered. The other field moves Waterfall, Whirlpool, and Dive may only be used outside of battle when the player is surfing. The player is also able to fish for Pokémon while surfing.

Surf is required to complete almost all games where it is usable outside of battle, with the exception of Pokémon Black and White. This move is needed to reach some cities, towns, and ultimately the Pokémon League where the Elite Four reside.

Badges

In certain games, Surf requires a specific badge to use outside of battle; the Soul BadgeRBYFRLG, Fog BadgeGSCHGSS, Balance BadgeRSEORAS, Relic BadgeDPBDSP, Fen BadgePt, or Rumble BadgeXY.

Speed

The speed of Surfing has varied back and forth through games:

  • In Generations I and II, and in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the speed is the same as walking.
  • In Generation III, and from Pokémon Platinum onwards, the speed is the same as running.
    • In Generation VI, surfing on Kyogre is faster than usual, and surfing on Sharpedo is twice as fast as usual.

Appearance

When Surf is used outside of battle, the surfing Pokémon is controlled by the player. A generic aquatic Pokémon shape is used for most or all Pokémon in a given game. In Generations I and II, the player character is not seen in the surfing sprite; only the Pokémon is seen. Starting in Generation III, the player character is visibly riding the surfing Pokémon as well.

Water tiles

Main article: Water tile

In several games, there are water currents where the surfing player is forced to go in a certain direction. They are found in the Seafoam Islands, Hoenn routes 132, 133, and 134, as well as in Unova Route 17.

In several games, there is shallow water and puddles where the player walks instead of surfing. For instance, shallow water is found in the Shoal Cave, and some puddles are found in Hoenn Route 120.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there are some fast currents at the Sevii Islands where the player is unable to use Surf.

Cycling Road glitch

In Generation I, due to a glitch, if the player saves at the Cycling Road and then creates a new game, it will not be possible to use Surf outside of battle (or use the Bicycle) in the new game until the player does any of these things: blacks out (either in battle or the overworld), uses Dig, Teleport, or Fly outside of battle, uses an Escape Rope, or enters and leaves the Cycling Road.

Legacy

From Generation VII onwards, Surf is no longer a field move. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, its functions are given to the Ride Pokémon Lapras and Sharpedo. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player can use Secret Technique Sea Skim instead. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the player can travel across water after getting their Rotom Bike upgraded. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Surf is usable in the field again, but now it is accessed via the Pokétch rather than a party Pokémon. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the player's Koraidon or Miraidon can travel across water in Swimming Build or Aquatic Mode, respectively.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Surf is Slowbro's, Greninja's, and Cramorant's first move, as well as Blastoise's second move.

Blastoise can obtain the move by reaching Wartortle stage at level 7 and upgrading Skull Bash into it instead of Rapid Spin. The user rides a large wave in the designated direction; damaging, knocking back, and stunning enemies hit for 1.6s. The user is unstoppable while surfing, and once it ends, the user can jump in a designated direction. The wave continues for a short duration after the user has leapt off and continues to knock back enemies hit but inflicts no damage. At level 13 or higher, the user gains a small shield when hitting an enemy with Surf.

Slowbro can obtain the move by evolving from Slowpoke at level 4 and upgrading Water Gun into it instead of Scald. The user rides on a wave, damaging, knocking enemies back, and throwing them in the air briefly. Two more waves follow after the first, damaging and slowing enemies. At level 11 or higher, the second and third waves will now also throw enemies in the air, and the second wave will knock them back.

Greninja can obtain the move by evolving from Frogadier at level 7 and upgrading Bubble into it instead of Water Shuriken. The user dashes on a wave, damaging enemies and healing themself for each enemy hit. Enemies below half health are dealt bonus damage, and if this move KOs an enemy, the cooldown is reset. At level 11, the healing increases.

Cramorant can obtain the move at level 6 by upgrading Whirlpool into it instead of Dive. The user sends a wave in a designated direction, damaging enemies that make contact with the wave. Once it reaches its full distance, the wave bounces back – further damaging and pulling back affected enemies. The user catches prey with the first wave, and can enter the wave that returns to catch prey for Gulp Missile. At level 13 or higher, the wave also slows down enemies.

Trivia

  • Some of the Pokémon that can learn Surf, like Barboach, appear to lack the physique required to transport a human being at sea.
  • Junichi Masuda revealed in an interview that Surf is his favorite move.[1]
  • Surf and Fly are the only HM moves that become special moves on certain Pokémon, both on Pikachu.
    • However, since Generation VIII, Pikachu can learn this move via TM/TR, so it is no longer a special move.
  • In Generation VI, Surf and Fly are tied for having the highest base power of all HM moves. Prior to Generation VI, Surf had the highest base power.
  • If Secret Power is used in the ocean in Generation III, it will have the animation of Surf.
  • There is an unused item allowing players to cross water, identical to Surf in Red, Blue, and Yellow.
  • Muddy Water has the same animation as Surf, except that the water is brown rather than blue.
  • In the Stadium series, Colosseum, XD, and Battle Revolution, when Pikachu uses Surf, a surfboard appears underneath it, and when Raichu uses Surf, it surfs on its tail. This does not occur in any core series games.
  • In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a glitch causes the game to freeze if the player is surfing on a Wailmer and it evolves while the player is fishing.
  • When using this move outside of battle, the text will always say "The water is a deep blue", even in cases where the water is not blue, such as the green water at Unova's Village Bridge.
