Water-Pulse Move Detail
Water Pulse is a Water-type move with 60 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 20% chance of confusing the target, making it a useful move for disrupting opponents. Introduced in Generation III, Water Pulse is often used for its high accuracy and moderate power, particularly in earlier stages of the game. Additionally, it can be taught via TM03 in various Pokémon games, making it accessible to a wide range of Water-type and non-Water-type Pokémon. Its secondary effect of causing confusion adds a strategic element, as confused Pokémon have a chance to hurt themselves instead of executing their intended move. This combination of reliable damage and potential to inflict status conditions makes Water Pulse a versatile choice in both casual and competitive play.
