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.

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.
