Water Type is one of the elemental categories in the Pokémon franchise. Pokémon of this type are often associated with aquatic environments, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. They typically have abilities and moves that involve water, making them effective against Fire Type Pokémon but weak against Electric Type and Grass Type Pokémon. In battles, Water Type Pokémon can use a variety of moves, including Surf and Hydro Pump. Many Water Type Pokémon also have dual types, which can enhance their versatility in combat. Popular examples include Squirtle, Gyarados, and Lapras.
