Water (type): Difference between revisions

The '''Water type''' (Japanese: '''みずタイプ''' ''Water type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in the Water type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Juan]] and [[Wallace]] of [[Sootopolis City]], [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]], [[Cress]], former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Striaton City]], [[Marlon]] of [[Humilau City]], and [[Siebold]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Water-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

The Water type is also useful offensively. Almost all Water-type Pokémon can learn strong {{type|Ice}} moves to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. Water also has good coverage in conjunction with {{t|Dragon}} and {{type|Flying}} moves. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Rock}} types. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common, while there are only a few Pokémon that have a double resistance to Water.

As of Generation VI, there are 120 Water-type Pokémon or 16.6% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Water-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Mega Evolution]]s), making it the most common of the eighteen types. All other types have been paired up with Water at least once.
