| {{Infobox Special Move
| | '''Water Gun''' is [[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]]'s [[Neutral B]] attack. It is functionally similar to [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]]'s [[F.L.U.D.D.]] in that it utilizes water, requires a charge, and has only knockback, although it charges faster than F.L.U.D.D. If you start charging the move in the air, Squirtle is able to move left or right while charging. When used uncharged, it does a short ranged attack that deals about 12% damage with minimal knockback. The unique properties of the charged version mean that with practice, they make a good, but hard to use and learn, edgeguarding move. |

| '''Water Gun''' ({{ja|みずでっぽう|Mizu Deppō}}, ''Water Gun'') is [[Squirtle]]'s [[neutral special move]]. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | You may also change the full spray's direction by tilting up or down. When fully charged, Squirtle can hold the charge and battle normally until the player presses the Special button again. |
| When performing this move, Squirtle shoots water. It is functionally similar to [[Mario]]'s [[F.L.U.D.D.]] in that it utilizes water, requires a charge, and has only pushforce. Unlike F.L.U.D.D. however, Water Gun charges faster, has more push force and range (the latter untrue when uncharged), and, in ''Brawl'' only, can be [[B-reversing|B-reversed]] and [[B-reversing#Wavebounce|wavebounced]]. If the player starts charging the move in the air, Squirtle is able to move left or right while charging. In ''Brawl'', if Squirtle is [[Pokémon Change|recalled]], its charge will be lost. In ''Ultimate'', the charge will only be lost if the player is KOed as Squirtle; being KOed as [[Ivysaur]] or [[Charizard]] will not cause the charge to be lost. The player may also change the full spray's direction by tilting up or down. When fully charged, Squirtle can hold the charge and battle normally until the player presses the special button again.

| |
|
| In ''Brawl'', when used uncharged, it does a short-ranged attack that deals about 12% damage with minimal [[knockback]]. In ''Ultimate'', it acts like all other levels.
| | ==Techniques== |
| | A fully charged [[Water Gun]] can be performed on an opponent who is in his/her helpless animation trying to grab the ledge (this can also work with Mr Game and Watch, Snake, R.O.B., Pit, Sonic and Peach after they have used their third jumps). Doing so will push them away from the ledge and fall to their doom. You can also use Water Gun on an opponent that is swinging a [[Hammer]]. Since players cannot use midair jumps and up specials while holding one, they would most likely be KO'ed. All of these techniques can be used by [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario's]] [[F.L.U.D.D]]. |

| A fully charged Water Gun can be performed on an opponent who is in their helpless animation trying to grab the [[ledge]] (this can also work with {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBB|Snake}}, {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBB|Pit}}, {{SSBB|Sonic}}, and {{SSBB|Peach}}). Doing so will push them away from the ledge. Also, it is possible to push {{SSBB|Ness}} or {{SSBB|Lucas}} away from their [[PK Thunder]]s (though it is possible that the opponent can move their Thunders back to themselves quick enough). Finally, the player can use Water Gun on an opponent that is swinging a {{b|Hammer|item}}. Since players cannot use midair jumps and/or [[up special]]s while holding one, they would most likely be [[KO]]'d.
| | This and [[FLUDD]] are particularly useful against [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]] because it pushes them away from [[PK Thunder]]. |

|
| ===Aqua Jump===
| | In the [[SSE]], Squirtle's Water Gun can damage Subspace enemies, however, it only damages; no push effect. |
| An aqua jump occurs when Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's Water Gun hits any jumping character just before they begin to lose momentum. This causes the jump to rapidly speed up and double in height. It is technically not so much of a technique as a misuse of the two aforementioned moves.

| [[File:SquirtleWaterGunRBY.gif|thumb|250px|{{iw|bulbapedia|Water Gun|move}} being used by a Squirtle in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red}}''.]] | | In the [[Pokémon universe]], Water Gun is a common attack for most first level Water-type Pokémon, Squirtle included. As it is learned at an early level, it is rather weak (since it has a base power of 40 in the games) and is often replaced by stronger attacks, most prominently Surf and Hydro Pump, because of their higher damage output, 90 and 120, respectively. |
| In the {{uv|Pokémon}} universe, Water Gun is a special Water-type attack which is a common attack for most low-level Water-type Pokémon, Squirtle included. As it is learned at an early level, it's very weak and designed to be replaced by stronger attacks like {{iw|bulbapedia|Bubble Beam|move}} later. Squirtle learns it at level 15 in ''Pokémon Red and Green'', but can learn it earlier via {{iw|bulbapedia|TM12}}.
