Surf Effect

Has the User charge forward on a wave, shoving opposing Pokemon and leaving them unable to act. The user becomes immune to hindrances while using this move and can jump in a designated direction once this move ends.

How to Use Surf

Choose Jump Off Direction

Surf - Choose Jump Off Direction

At the end of Surf's animation, Blastoise jumps off the wave. You can choose Blastoise's jump off direction simply by moving the L analog stick when the move ends. To make it easier, you can just hold the L analog stick to the direction you want during the move's animation. You don't need to time it when the move ends.

This tactic is useful when you want to prevent enemies from chasing you or your allies. Just move the L analog stick to the opposite direction of the enemy.

Knockback Enemies Against Walls

Surf - Use Walls

You can maximize Surf's utility by knocking back enemies against walls. The move does not end when it hits a wall and continues to knockback enemies without traversing the wall, trapping them in place rather than pushing them further.

The reason why this is more effective is because it allows your allies to cast their moves more easily, especially moves that are hard to aim.

Secure Boss Pokemon

Surf - Secure Boss Pokemon

Surf's knockback effect works against boss Pokemon. Use this effect to push them towards your team's side to ensure that your team gets their bonuses.
