Is Surf a good choice?

I was thinking if moves like Surf, that hit all Pokémons, even an ally, is a good choice for competitive double/triple battles.

Overall, I believe that Surf is a overall good move when partnered with the right Pokemon. Some benefits of Surf are that you damage all the opponents included your own Pokemon, but you do lose power as well. Also, you have the added bonus of healing your allies that have the ability Water Absorb or Dry Skin. Also, since Surf targets multiple Pokemon, it will not be affected by the ever popular ability Storm Drain. Surf also has 100 accuracy and 67.5 base power which also works in its favor over attacks like Muddy Water and Hydro Pump with 85 and 80 accuracy. So, overall I say that Surf is worth it given that you pair it up with the proper Pokemon. Don’t pair it up with anything that is weak to it, but I would stick to Pokémon with Water Absorb, Dry Skin. If you don’t have those abilities, I would go with a move like Scald. 80 base power and a 30% chance to burn is nice. This is just my opinion though.

Surf is a very good move. The only thing wrong with it is that it hits every Pokemon. So if your partner Pokemon without surf it wil be good if he resist water. And of he don’t resist water waterfall is a good second option.
