Characteristics
Defense
Freeze-Dry is a unique Ice-type move that is super effective against Water, regardless of its actual type. The move Soak changes its target's type(s) to Water.
Water-type Pokémon fares well defensively, being weak to only Electric and Grass-type moves.
Offense
Almost all Water-type Pokémon can learn strong Ice-type moves to deal with Dragon and Grass types. Flying also has good coverage with Water attacks. Though not a type, Freeze-Dry has even better coverage with Water, as every type that resists water is weak to Freeze-Dry. A Pokémon can resist this combination only when aided by an Ability, such as Water Absorb.
Weather can affect Water-type moves, with rain boosting its power and harsh sunlight reducing it, while extremely harsh sunlight causes Water-type moves to fail completely.
Contest properties
In Contests, Water-type moves are typically Beautiful moves, but they can be from any other Contest type.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 144 Water-type Pokémon or 16.1% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Water-type in at least one of their forms), making it the most common of the eighteen types. All other types have been paired up with Water at least once - after the official release of Volcanion, Water became the second type to have this trait, after Flying.

In the TCG
- Main article: Water (TCG)
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Water generally adopts all Ice-type Pokémon under its typing.
Similar to the games, Water-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Grass and Lightning with no resistances. Water-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Fire Pokémon, whilst Grass and Colorless Pokémon can resist this type.
