Effect

In battle

Water Spout deals damage. Its power is calculated using the formula below:

$\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Current HP}\times150}{\text{Max HP}}$

In other words, its power decreases if the user's current HP decreases. However, the power cannot be lower than 1.

Contests

The appeal works better the later it is performed.

Super Contests

Earn +3 if the Pokémon that just went hit max Voltage.
