Characteristics
Defensively, the Water-type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water-type, with the exception of Magikarp, can use Template:Type2 moves to counter Template:Type2s (although Magikarp can learn one Template:Type2 move, Bounce, which can also counter Grass-types), Electric is the only true threat to Water-types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question are part Ground like Quagsire, Swampert, Whiscash, and Gastrodon, in which their Electric weakness is nullified but their Grass weakness is more effective. Water-types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent Attack, Special Attack, and Defense stats, but below average Speed.
The Water-type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn Ice Beam to deal with Dragon- and Template:Type2s, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against Ground- and Template:Type2s when traveling through caves, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using Surf, most Trainers usually have at least one Water-type in their party.
When used in contests, Water-type moves typically become Beauty moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding Cool.
In total, there are 92 Pokémon with the Water-type.

Trivia
- Of all seventeen types, the Water-type is the most abundant, with 92 Pokémon species being Water-type, nearly 19% of the entire known Pokédex.
- All Generation I Water-type Pokémon are weak to Electric moves, as no Water-types with a secondary type that neutralizes this weakness were introduced until Generation II and later.
- All Pokémon with a 4× resistance to Water are Water-types themselves, as the Dragon- and Template:Type2s have not yet been seen paired with each other.
- Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters L, M, P, and S.
- Every main character in the anime (with the obvious exception of Max) has had at least one Water-type Pokémon.
- There is at least one Pokémon of each type combination that has a 4x weakness to Water.
- A Pokémon of Water and Flying type has been introduced in every generation so far.
- Every generation has had exactly one main game whose version mascot is Water-type (Blastoise, Suicune, Kyogre, and Palkia)
