On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Hydro Steam (Japanese: ハイドロスチーム Hydro Steam) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced during Generation IX. It is the signature move of Walking Wake.

Effect

Hydro Steam inflicts damage. If used under harsh sunlight, it receives a 50% damage boost, unlike all other Water-type moves, which would receive a 50% damage reduction in harsh sunlight instead.

If used by a Pokémon holding a Utility Umbrella during harsh sunlight, it does not receive the 50% damage boost, instead being affected by the standard 50% damage reduction for Water-type moves.
