Water Pledge (move)

Water Pledge (Japanese: みずのちかい Water Oath) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation V.

Generation V
Water Pledge inflicts damage. It has a regular power of 50.

When two allies attempt to use Water Pledge and either or  on the same turn, the ally moving first will not itself use a move, but instead the ally moving second will use a combined attack with a power of 150 and an additional effect immediately after it:
 * If Water Pledge and are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Water Pledge with a power of 150, and create a rainbow on the user's side of the field for four turns. The rainbow doubles the probability of secondary effects taking place on that side of the field; this effect does not stack with.
 * If Water Pledge and are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Grass Pledge with a power of 150, and create a swamp on the target's side of the field for four turns. This swamp quarters the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.

If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g., , etc.), no move will be executed.

Water Pledge is unaffected by a held Water Gem (and will not consume it).

Generation VI onward
Water Pledge's regular power changed from 50 to 80. In addition, Water Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.
