How to Use Scald

Kite Opponents at a Distance

Pokemon UNITE - Slowbro Dealing Damage with Scald.

Scald is a direct upgrade to Water Gun and instead of having just a slow effect, it also adds Burn. It has a wide Aoe that can hit multiple enemies if they are grouped together.

Unlike Surf, Scald has the benefit of being a ranged move, which is great for pressuring the Opponents' HP from a safe distance. Moreover, Scald has a relatively low cooldown and should be used as soon as it is available for consistent damage.
