Talk:Splash (move)
Egg Attack??
How Come In Generation IV, An "Egg" And A "Manaphy Egg" Can Learn Splash?? - Tesh
- Either someone put it in there by accident, or the data really does display this. After all, ? knows Tackle, even though it's unlisted on Tackle's page... Can anyone verify this? --TTEchidna 04:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Anyone? I don't have the tools to go into the game code... TTEchidna 07:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
OHKO?
I have no idea whether this is a glitch or not, but for the long time i played pokémon, splash had no effect. The other day I encountered a wild magikarp. it splashed. the message came up : it's a One Hit KO! Mewtwo fainted! I was playing Ruby. BlueGasMask 09:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

- Either you are lying, or it is a glitch. That's humanly impossible! Maybe you should try encountering a Magikarp (or any Pokémon which knows Splash) again and see what happens. - Hazardous FIRE! 04:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I actually remember playing once with a Magikarp and I did do damage with Splash to, I believe it was a Horsea in pokemon Red. I know there is no proof of this, but I'm just saying. Nevar00 00:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Burning?!
Whenever I have used Magikarp (below lvl 15) on sand or grass, it have never been burned. But I have FireRed. Is that a new effect? Can somebody see on Emerald or Ruby or Pearl or some newer game to see if it works? - Hazardous FIRE! 04:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Uh... what? TTEchidna 05:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Aaagh, forget it... somebody delelted it. - Hazardous FIRE! 05:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
MD
If I remember correctly, Splash DOES have an effect in Mystery Dungeon. Can anyone check to see what it is? TorchicBlaziken (talk•edits) 22:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- If I remember correctly, the user moves in a random direction to an adjacent square, and does 5 damage to any Pokémon there, and the user. and then returns to the original position. The Dark Fiddler - Smarter than the average bear! 22:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Reason?
Uh... What's the reason of this move, anyway? If it's completely useless, then why'd they put it in the game? Is this a joke or something? A move, which was originally Magicarp's signature move, so it puts emphasis on how useless a Magicrap (uh, sorry, typo) is? I am just asking. --HTMLCODER.exe@bulbapedia$_ /usr/bin/apache2 -k restart 13:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- I believe it was to capitalize on Magikarp being the weakest Pokemon, by not allowing it to be able to do anything until level 15. Makes Gyarados all the more rewarding, I'd say. I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 01:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Contradictory information
in the article, under Effect the text says "Splash has no effect on the user or the target."
however, the chart to the left shows that the move effects the user. is somebody going to fix this?
