How to Use Mystic Water

Offensive Water-type Pokemon will see great use for Mystic Water as it boosts Water-type moves by 20%, and also stacks with STAB.

Most Water-type attackers will need this in order to fully maximize their offensive capabilities.

Mystic Water vs Choice Item

There will be times where you will come across the question of what item you should equip to your Water-type attacker. Both Mystic Water and Choice Band or Choice Specs has their pros and cons.

Advantage Disadvantage
Mystic Water ・20% damage boost to Water-type moves
・Can use all moves
・Only boost Water-type moves
Choice Band or Choice Specs ・50% boost to Atk/Sp.Atk ・Locked to one move

The item you should use will depend on how you will utilize your Pokemon's moveset in battle.

If your Pokemon will only rely on one Water-type move, then a Choice item will be the better option. If you think your Pokemon needs to use other moves besides Water-type attacks, then go for Mystic Water.
