Water Gun
Water Gun is Squirtle's Neutral B attack. It is functionally similar to Mario's F.L.U.D.D. in that it utilizes water, requires a charge, does no damage, 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.
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.
Origin
In the Pokémon universe, Water Gun is a common attack for most Water type Pokémon, Squirtle included. As it is learned at an early level, it is rather weak and often replaced by stronger attacks, most prominently Surf and Hydro Pump, because of their higher damage output. It also appears in Anime, as an incredibly common move for water types on the show.
This Water Gun is canon with the Anime, as the Water Gun in the video games show a few drops of water, instead of a torrent like Squirtle's Water Gun.
