A5_4 Splash Mountain

Abstract

In the Gen V Pokédex entry for the Pokémon Magikarp it is stated that Magikarp can jump over mountains using the move ‘Splash’.  This is a Pokémon move that does 0 damage in the game.  By comparing the power of a horse’s kick and the move ‘Stomp’, we have determined that ‘Splash’ should have 424 Poképower in the game (much larger than any other move) but also a very low accuracy  due  to  the  jump  taking  36.94  s  in  total.   Perhaps  this  is  why  the  move  is  said  to  be useless.
