Surf Effect

Has the user create a wave in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokemon it hits. If opposing Pokemon hit by this move already have a slowing effect applied, they are shoved. The user can ride the wave for a short time and use basic attacks and moves while moving. Ally Pokemon who touch the wave have their movement speed increased. If this move is used again, the user stops in place and creates another wave. While the mysterious power is active, the user will create two waves.

How to Use Surf

Set Up Surf with Psychic

Surf can be quite difficult to hit in certain situations. One way to make hitting Surf easier is by using Psychic first. By using Psychic first, Psyduck can tether a target and pull it towards it and set up Surf.

Use Psychic first and make sure to hit the target. Once Psyduck is tethered, pull the target, then immediately follow up with Surf.

Attack While Surfing

Psyduck can attack targets while it's surfing the wave. Utilize this mechanic to deal additional damage before ending the move.

End the Move Early When Needed

Psyduck can end Surf early simply by using the move again. This can be useful in situations where Psyduck needs to revert back to walking or stun an opponent.

Utilize the Damage Reduction Effect

Once upgraded, Surf will now reduce the damage of targets hit by the move. Utilize this effect to give Psyduck's team a damage advantage during fights. It's best to use it against the opponent's damage dealers.
