Effect

Generations III-VII

Water Pulse inflicts damage and has a 20% chance of confusing the target. It can hit non-adjacent opponents in Triple Battles.

Water Pulse's power is increased by 50% when used by Pokémon with the Ability Mega Launcher.

Water Pulse can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra three appeal points if the move Rain Dance was used in the prior turn.

Generation VIII

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Water Pulse retains its effects from earlier generations.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Water Pulse can no longer confuse the target. Instead, it bypasses accuracy and evasion checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Fly or Dig.
