Waterfalls are a type of aquatic obstacle appearing in the core series games from Generations II to VI. To get past them, the player must have a Pokémon use the field move Waterfall.

In Generations II and III, the field move Waterfall is only required to ascend waterfalls, not descend them. From Generation IV onwards, the move is required to both ascend and descend waterfalls.

Trivia

• A waterfall appears in the Distortion World in Platinum. Due to the irregular gravity, however, only the field move Surf is required to traverse it.
