Muddy Water Effect

Has the user splash muddy water around itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect and applying an effect to them that decreases the amount of damage they deal for a short time. If the user deals damage to opposing Pokemon with this move, the user's Defense and Sp. Def. are increased for a short time. This effect can stack up to four times.

How to Use Muddy Water

Hit as Many Opponents as Possible

It's best to hit as many opponents as possible when using Muddy Water since the move reduces the damage of all enemies that gets hit. Inflicting multiple opponents with the damage reduction gives Goodra's team a huge advantage in fights.

Set Up with Power Whip or Acid Spray

To ensure that Muddy Water will hit multiple targets, you can use Power Whip or Acid Spray to set it up. When using Power Whip, use the move to pull opponents close to Goodra, then use Muddy Water immediately. For Acid Spray, use the move's second activation to quickly get in range, then follow up with Muddy Water.

Utilize the Sp. Def. and Defense Increase

Utilize the Muddy Water's Sp. Def. and Dense increase effect to make Goodra more durable. The best way to achieve this is by spamming the move and constantly hitting opponents with it, allowing Goodra to stack and maintain the effect.

Muddy Water Patch History

1.19.2.8 Defense and Sp. Def increase upon use increased by 20%.
1.18.2.6 Damage reduced from 28% to 20%.
