Surf Effect

Surf In-Game.jpg

Attacks with a wave that deals damage to opposing Pokemon. Once the wave has traveled its full distance, it returns the way it came, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon once again and pulling them back with the wave. The user can also catch Arrokuda or other prey by entering the wave.

How to Use Surf

Use from Max Cast Range

Pokemon UNITE - Cramorant Using Surf on Absol

Since the second wave appears when the first one reaches its maximum distance, enemies at the maximum distance immediately recieves damage from both waves. This ensures that both waves hit your targets, dealing a high burst damage with a decent knock up effect.

Control the Second Wave's Direction

Surf's second wave returns to Cramorant's position at the moment it appears, allowing you to control its direction. Although it might not have a significant impact in the game, it's nonetheless a useful mechanic.
