Hydro-Cannon Move Detail
Hydro Cannon is a Water-type move with 150 power and 90% accuracy. It is the Water-type equivalent of moves like Blast Burn and Frenzy Plant. Hydro Cannon is known for its extremely high power but comes with the drawback of requiring the user to recharge on the turn following its use, effectively leaving the user unable to act on that turn. This move is typically available only to fully evolved Water-type starter Pokémon through specific tutoring. Its immense power makes it a situationally effective offensive tool, ideal for finishing off sturdy opponents, but the required recharge turn necessitates strategic use to avoid leaving the user vulnerable.
