Waterfall Effect

Has the user charge three times in a row at awesome speed, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. The user can change direction between each charge. If the second charge hits an opposing Pokemon, the user is granted a shield. If the third charge hits an opposing Pokemon, the opposing Pokemon is thrown.

How to Use Waterfall

Choose a Direction for Each Charge

When using Waterfall, Gyarados can choose the direction of each attack. This allows the Pokemon to carefully pick out targets or the best spot to relocate.

Utilize the Shield

On Waterfall's second charge, hitting opponents grants Gyarados a shield. Gyarados can utilize the shield to tank some damage and push the offense.

Utilize the Throw Effect

On Waterfall's third charge, targets hit by the move are thrown. This can be a great crowd control tool in teamfights. Choose targets wisely for the third charge to maximize Waterfall's throw effect.
