Hydro Pump[1] (ハイドロポンプ Hydro Pump) is Greninja's up special move. Greninja uses water to propel itself upward, using a manner similar to Pikachu's Quick Attack in that it can change directions while it moves. It is currently unknown what other properties this move will possess. The move is also used by Pokémon when they are summoned from a Poké Ball.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Single Pump: Greninja only throws one pump instead of two so it can only go one direction (like Fox's Up-B). It gains about 30% more distance.
- It is currently unknown how the second variant functions.
Use by other Pokémon
- Blastoise - When summoned as a Poké Ball Pokémon in SSB and Melee, Blastoise uses Hydro Pump in a horizontal direction.
- Kyogre - When summoned by a Poké Ball, Kyogre uses Hydro Pump with free range horizontally.
- Squirtle - When its trainer activates Triple Finish, Squirtle uses Hydro Pump as part of the Final Smash.
Kyogre's Hydro Pump in Brawl.
Origin
Hydro Pump is a powerful Water-type move that was introduced in Generation I. It has a base power of 110 (120 in Generations I-V), and was the strongest Water-type move before Generation III. However, it has an accuracy of 80%, and only 5 PP. Greninja is capable of learning this move by leveling up to level 60. It is described as "blasting the foe with a high volume of water" and is usually depicted as a single, large torrent of water launched at the foe - contrary to Greninja's usage in SSB4 which involves riding two thin jets of water.
