Water Spout (Japanese: しおふき Water Spout) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Water Spout does damage proportionately based on the user's HP. This move's base power reduces as the user's HP reduces and is calculated by the formula:

However, its power cannot be less than 1. Consequently, its power varies between 1 and 150.

In a battle with multiple opponents, Water Spout will target all adjacent opponents. Water Spout will also destroy stalagmites found in the background of battles.

Water Spout can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra appeal point if the move Rain Dance was used in the prior turn.
