===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Tidal Wave is learned by [[Shelley]] at level 17. Other characters can obtain it by advancing to Rank 4 of the Sage vocation.  
Tsunami is an enemy only skill in the remakes of ''IV'', being used by the [[Shelligator]]. Because the monster only appears in the fungeon, the skill's paltry damage range is hardly anything to worry about by that point in average playthroughs.


===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===
===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
Tidal Wave is learned by [[Shelley]] at level 17. Other characters can obtain it by advancing to Rank 4 of the [[Sage]] vocation.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
The [[Sailor]] can learn Tsunami at rank 8 in the PSX version.
*Tsunami has been removed from the game in the 3DS version due to the real-life tragedy of the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake. Instead, monsters use [[Hurricane]] for the same damage range.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Tsunami is used by the [[Lleviathan]] for a slightly weaker, non-elemental 30~37 damage.
 
==Great Tidal Wave==
Starting with ''IX'', a higher level form of Tidal Wave was introduced as a monster-only skill. The ''Great'' Tidal Wave's damage depends on the monster causing it, with [[Lleviathan]]'s hitting for 70~90, the [[boa bishop]]'s 100~120, and the [[Seavern]]'s for a massive 135~163.


===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
Tsunami is used by [[Lleviathan]] and [[boa bishop]]s.
