Water-type Moves in Competitive Play

Water Gun.png

Water-type moves are a staple in competitive Pokemon due to its high power and the utility they offer. Often a physical or special sweeper on a team has a water-typing because of how much damage water moves deal.

Being resisted by only three types and the fact that it deals super-effective damage to common ones such as Fire and Ground make water a valuable addition to any team.

Water-type Moves in Rain

Many of the Water-type sweepers in the past and current metas use Rain to their advantage. Rain boosts the power of Water-type moves by 50% allowing for easy sweeps in doubles.

Muddy Water, Origin Pulse, Surf, and Water Spout all deal damage to adjacent foes, making them very potent in Doubles with Rain support.

List of Moves that Change Weather

Water-type Max Moves

Max Geyser.png

Water-type moves turn into Max Geyser during Dynamax.

This move has an effect of summoning Heavy Rain making the Dynamax user a secondary Rain setter.

The effect works well with Rain teams especially if the initial setter faints at the earlier stages of the match.
