Trivia
- Lugia, Bagon, Masquerain, Castform and Dratini are the only non-Template:Type2s that can legitimately know Hydro Pump. Of these five:
- Bagon is the only pure Template:Type2 to learn Hydro Pump as an egg move.
- Masquerain learns the move after Surskit, a Bug/Water-type, evolves with it as an egg move.
- The event Dratini handed out at the New York City Pokémon Center is the only way to get a Dratini that knows Hydro Pump without cheating.
