The Water type is also useful offensively. Many Water-type Pokémon learn {{m|Ice Beam}} to deal with Dragon and Grass-types, making their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It is somewhat useful to be super-effective against Ground and Rock types, but not a whole lot.

It is somewhat useful to be super-effective against Ground and Rock types, but not a whole lot. It is also reasonably good against Steel, being a special type and that Steel isn't resistant to it. It is the best type to use on the {{p|Aron}} family (types Rock/Steel), since {{p|Aron}}'s other weaknesses are physical, and {{p|Aron}}'s special defense is approximately 40% of its physical.

The Water type is also useful offensively. Many Water-type Pokémon learn Ice Beam to deal with Dragon and Grass-types, making their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It is somewhat useful to be super-effective against Ground and Rock types, but not a whole lot. It is also reasonably good against Steel, being a special type and that Steel isn't resistant to it.
