Tm196

TM196 (Surf) is a Technical Machine item in the Pokémon series that allows a Pokémon to learn the move Surf. Surf is a Water-type move introduced in Generation I, renowned for its good balance of power and accuracy. Specifically, Surf has a base power of 90 and 100% accuracy, making it a reliable choice for Water-type Pokémon and others that can learn it.

Effects: - In-battle Use: Surf is primarily used as an offensive move in battles. It deals consistent Water-type damage to the opposing Pokémon. If there are multiple foes (e.g., in Double Battles), Surf hits all adjacent Pokémon, but its power is slightly reduced in such scenarios. - Out-of-battle Use: Historically in the Pokémon series, Surf has also served as an essential Hidden Move (HM) enabling players to traverse bodies of water. This functionality is often key to progressing in the game's story, accessing new areas, secret locations, and items. - **
