Testing shows that Surf's damage is cut in HALF when used in a 2-on-2 battle (because it hits both opponents). With this new defining difference in Surf, setting it away from the "all-purpose Water move", there's a lot to be discussed as to the future of the whole Water type. What moves will Waters use in 2-on-2, why, and how will it affect gameplay and overall effectiveness? Let's discuss!

It should be noted before further speculation ensues that Earthquake and other hit-all-but-user moves do NOT experience a damage cut like this; only "both opponent" targetting moves.
