==Effect==
===Generation V===
===Generation V===
Water Pledge inflicts regular damage, with double damage and an additional effect when combined with {{m|Fire Pledge}} or {{m|Grass Pledge}} in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s. The combined move is used by the Pokémon that moved second.
Water Pledge inflicts [[damage]]. It has a regular [[power]] of 50.


If it and {{m|Fire Pledge}} are used in the same turn, it will inflict damage at double the power, then create a rainbow on the user's side of the field for four turns. The rainbow doubles the probability of secondary effects taking place on that side of the field; this effect does not stack with {{a|Serene Grace}}.
When two allies attempt to use Water Pledge and either {{m|Fire Pledge}} or {{m|Grass Pledge}} on the same turn, the ally moving first will not itself use a move, but instead the ally moving second will use a combined attack with a power of 150 and an additional effect immediately after it:
 
* If Water Pledge and {{m|Fire Pledge}} are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Water Pledge with a power of 150, and create a rainbow on the user's side of the field for four turns. The rainbow doubles the probability of secondary effects taking place on that side of the field; this effect does not stack with {{a|Serene Grace}}.
If it and {{m|Grass Pledge}} are used in the same turn, it will come out as Grass Pledge, inflict damage at double the power, then create a swamp on the side of the field of the target of the combined move for four turns. This swamp halves the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.
* If Water Pledge and {{m|Grass Pledge}} are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Grass Pledge with a power of 150, and create a swamp on the target's side of the field for four turns. This swamp quarters the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.


If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g. {{status|paralysis}}, {{m|Sky Drop}}, etc.), no move will be executed.
If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g. {{status|paralysis}}, {{m|Sky Drop}}, etc.), no move will be executed.


Similar to {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Grass Pledge}}, Water Pledge is unaffected by a held {{DL|Gem|Water Gem}} (and will not consume it).

Water Pledge (Japanese: みずのちかい Water Oath) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Generation V

Water Pledge inflicts damage. It has a regular power of 50.

When two allies attempt to use Water Pledge and either Fire Pledge or Grass Pledge on the same turn, the ally moving first will not itself use a move, but instead the ally moving second will use a combined attack with a power of 150 and an additional effect immediately after it:

  • If Water Pledge and Fire Pledge are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Water Pledge with a power of 150, and create a rainbow on the user's side of the field for four turns. The rainbow doubles the probability of secondary effects taking place on that side of the field; this effect does not stack with Serene Grace.
  • If Water Pledge and Grass Pledge are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Grass Pledge with a power of 150, and create a swamp on the target's side of the field for four turns. This swamp quarters the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.

If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g. paralysis, Sky Drop, etc.), no move will be executed.

Water Pledge is unaffected by a held Water Gem (and will not consume it).

Generation VI onward

Water Pledge's regular power changed from 50 to 80. In addition, Water Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.
