Splash

Normal

Summary

Splash is a Normal-type move with 0 power and 100% accuracy. Despite its high accuracy, Splash is notorious for its lack of effect in battle, as it simply causes the user to splash around ineffectively. The move has become iconic within the Pokémon community for its humor and virtually useless nature. Splash is most commonly associated with the Pokémon Magikarp, although a few other Pokémon can learn it as well. Interestingly, despite its battle ineffectiveness, Splash has been featured in various spin-off games and media, often as a joke or quirky element.
