| Level | Move | Type | Category | Power | Accuracy | PP |

| Evolution | Flip Turn After making its attack, the user rushes back to switch places with a party Pokémon in waiting. | Water | Physical | 60 | 100 | 20 |

| 50 | Hydro Pump The target is blasted by a huge volume of water launched under great pressure. | Water | Special | 110 | 80 | 5 |
