Trivia

Origin

Max Torrent appears to be a Max Move version of Torrent, an Ability in the Pokémon games that Vaporeon does not have. The attack is meant to resemble Torrent even in Japanese, as Max Torrent in Japanese reads ダイゲキリュウ and Torrent's Japanese name rendered in Katakana is ゲキリュウ. (One way of translating Torrent is as Raging Rapids, compared to the attack's Dai Rapids) It is also possible that the name is actually meant to represent a torrent of water, rather than calling back to the Ability.
