• The Steel type was introduced in Generation II.

Additional effects

During the rain (introduced in Generation II) or heavy rain (introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) weather conditions, the power of Water-type moves is increased by 50%. During harsh sunlight (introduced in Generation II), the power of Water-type moves is decreased by 50%. During extremely harsh sunlight (introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), all Water-type moves will fail.

The move Soak, introduced in Generation V, causes the target to become a pure Water-type Pokémon (except if it is Terastalized, which will cause the move to fail).

Water-type Pokémon are weak to the Ice-type move Freeze-Dry, introduced in Generation VI, despite normally being resistant to Ice-type moves.

Pokémon

As of Generation X, 162 Pokémon are Water-type (counting those that are Water-type in at least one of their forms), which makes up 15.76% of all Pokémon, making it the most common type among Pokémon, followed by the Normal type. After the introduction of Volcanion in Generation VI, all other types have been paired up with Water at least once, making it the second type to have this trait, after Flying and followed by Psychic.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

Pokémon Sleep

Unlike in the core series games, in Pokémon Sleep, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of Berry that the Pokémon will gather for Snorlax to feed on. Water-type Pokémon will gather Oran Berries, and typically have the Slumbering sleep type.

The following is a list of Water-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

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 Pokémon and some Colorless Pokémon can resist this type.
