Soak (Japanese: みずびたし Waterlog) is a non-damaging Water-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Generation V
Soak changes the target's type to pure Water. The effect lasts as long as the target remains in battle; however, changing form or transforming overrides the effect. Soak succeeds even if the target is already a pure Water-type Pokémon.
Soak fails if used on a substitute or a Pokémon with Multitype.
The effect is not Baton Passed.
Generation VI onward
If used on a pure Water-type Pokémon, Soak's animation will still play, but the game will now state that the move has failed. Soak fails if used on a Pokémon with RKS System.
Soak can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move Rain Dance was used in the prior turn.
If powered up by a Waterium Z into Z-Soak, the user's Special Attack stat rises by one stage.

Trivia
- This move originated as a TCG Poké-POWER.
- Although the move itself has never been used in the anime, getting wet has been shown to make Pokémon more conductive to electricity and neutralizes the Ground type's immunity to Electric, as shown with Brock's Onix and Hapu's Mudsdale.
