Water Pledge (move)

Water Pledge (Japanese: みずのちかい Water Oath) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation V. Prior to Generation VII, only first partner Pokémon and their evolutions could learn this move. It is TM145 in Generation IX.
==Effect==
Water Pledge inflicts damage.
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 additional effects taking place for moves used by that side of the field (including the chance of flinching caused by King's Rock and Razor Fang, but not including ); this effect is cumulative with for chances to cause a stat change or inflict a status, but not for chances to cause flinching. Due to the way certain secondary effects are handled, this can lead to an overflow glitch.
* 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). If a combined move is used, it will always receive the same-type attack bonus no matter which Pokémon is the one executing it, or what type the combined move is.
Water Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
Water Pledge deals damage. In , when Water Pledge is used with Fire Pledge in an Alliance, the user's party will get the condition for five turns, which increases the probability of secondary effects taking place. When used with Grass Pledge, the enemies in the same room will get the condition for five turns, which reduces their Speed stat. 
In Rescue Team DX, Alliances are no longer present. Instead, when Water Pledge is used with a teammate in a position from which it can use Fire Pledge (that is, also adjacent to the enemy), Water Pledge's power will be increased and the teammates in the same room will get the Rainbow condition. 1 PP of Fire Pledge will also be used (and the teammate with Fire Pledge can still make another move on that turn). Water Pledge's effect with Grass Pledge will only activate when Grass Pledge is used.
