Hydro Pump vs. Hydro Cannon?

1 minute read

For my Samurott and I’m going to replace with waterfall (my Samurott has more Attack then Sp.Attack) and I prefer hydro cannon for the finishing hit then switch out.

Swap Hydro Cannon, all recharge moves should not be used the power is a con as you loose a turn in the process.150 power over 2 turns compared to hydro pumps 240 over 2 turns.

OK, I realize that Artist KS already answered, but I need to give my two-cents. The problem with Artist KS’s answer is that you can’t switch out during the recharge turn, which means you are a sitting duck. Hydro Pump is definitely the way to go, but truthfully Sammy shouldnt have any Special Attacks. So in truth Waterfall is the wa to go, but between Hydro Pump and Hydro Cannon, Hydro Cannon should NEVER be used, soHydro Pump is the way to go

Well Hydro Pump:power: 120accuracy: 80

and then Hydro Cannon:power: 150accuracy: 100 or 95 ( I`m not sure )

but then Hydro Cannon, you have to recharge.It’s your choiceI would go with Hydro Cannon even though you have to rechargeand since you are going to switch out you won’t have to recharge
