Soak changes the target's [[type]]s to single {{type|Water}} only. The effect lasts as long as the target remains in battle; however, changing [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] or {{m|transform}}ing overrides the effect. Soak succeeds even if the target is already a pure Water-type Pokémon.

* Although the move itself hasn't been used in the {{pkmn|anime}}, getting wet has been shown to neutralize the {{t|Ground}} type's immunity to {{t|Electric}} in a couple of occasions, first with [[Brock's Onix]] in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and later with [[Pryce's Piloswine]] in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' and [[Hapu]]'s {{p|Mudsdale}} in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''. In the last instance, getting wet was directly mentioned to mimic Soak's effect.
