Water 3 (egg group)

The Water 3 egg group (Japanese: すいちゅう3 Underwater 3) is one of the sixteen egg groups. Like its counterparts Water 1 and Water 2, it is mostly made up of Water-type Pokémon.

Characteristics

The Water 3 egg group is characterized by its members' resemblance to aquatic invertebrates. Most are Water-types. This group also contains about half of fossil Pokémon, containing the Generation I fossils (excluding Aerodactyl who is in the Flying egg group) and the Generation III fossils, with the Generation IV fossil Pokémon instead belonging to the Monster group.

Trivia

• Skorupi and Drapion are in this egg group, despite being based on an animal that is normally associated with deserts, the scorpion. This may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as sea scorpions that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.
