Water type

The is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types. It is also one of the three Starter types, forming a perfectly triangular relationship with Fire and Grass.
There are more Pokémon of this type than any other type due to the large number of marine creatures to base species from. Most Pokémon of this type also have another type, representing the biodiversity of marine creatures. Water is notably the second type to have been paired with every other type - the Fire/Water Volcanion completed all possible pairings.
Most Water-type Pokémon are based on creatures that live on water, or use water for their disposition. Their attacks involve use of water, if not, attacks that can be done only by marine creatures (like Clamp, Crabhammer and Razor Shell).
Famous Water-type Pokémon Trainers include Misty, the second Kanto Gym Leader; Wallace, the first eighth Hoenn Gym Leader-turned-Champion and his replacement Juan; Crasher Wake, the fourth Gym Leader of Sinnoh; Cress, one of Striaton City's first three Gym Leaders in Unova; Marlon, the eighth Gym Leader of Humilau City in Unova; Siebold, one of the Kalos Elite Four; Lana, an Akala Island Trial Captain in Alola; Nessa, the second Gym Leader of Hulbury in Galar; and Kofu, Cascaraffa Gym Leader in Paldea.

==Relations with other types==
*They're strong against the type because water puts fire out.
*They're strong against the type because ground becomes weak when it is soaked, and dirt washes away when water is sprayed over something dirty.
*They're strong against the type because water erodes rocks, and rocks sink in water.
*They're weak against the type because water is a good conductor of electricity and since electricity is a form of energy and water is a chemical compound, electricity can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Also, if one is in the water while it's conducting the electricity, they can get electrocuted.
*They're weak against the type because plants absorb water for their own survival.
*They resist the type because ice melts when it's in touch with a liquid. Another reason could be that ice is just frozen water.
*They resist the type because water oxidizes most metals and makes them rust. Strangely, the type isn't weak to them.
*The type resists them because in ancient legends, dragons were unaffected by the principal forces of nature (plants, water, fire and electricity). Also, water dragons were common in legends.
*They resist themselves because adding water to another source of water increases the source, and you can't soak anyone who's already wet.
==Trivia==
*All of the Water-type Starter's final evolutions resemble semi-aquatic or amphibious animals, and are themed after weapons or fighting classes:
**Blastoise is based on a sea turtle and has water cannons on its back. It also resembles a heavy-weaponry user.
**Feraligatr is based on a crocodile or an alligator and its armor resembles arm pads. It also resembles a berserker.
**Swampert is based on an axolotl and has fins that resemble Japanese war fans. It also takes the stance of a sumo wrestler.
**Empoleon is based on a penguin and has a crest resembling a trident. It also resembles an emperor.
**Samurott is based on a sea otter and its horn resembles a lance and katanas called Seamiters in its arms. It also resembles a samurai.
**Greninja is based on a frog or a toad and uses throwing stars made out of water. It also resembles a ninja.
**Primarina is based on a seal or a sea lion and has a tail that resembles that of a water torpedo. It also resembles a siren.
**Inteleon is based on a chameleon with a finger that is used for shooting, making it also resemble a sniper.
**Quaquaval is based on a duck and resembles capoeira, a type of a martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, music and spirituality, making it also resemble both a dancer and a martial artist.
*The Water type has the most Pokémon with its type with 144 unique Pokémon.
*Along with the and types, the Water type has been paired up with every type (excluding types such as ??? type and Shadow type).
*The Water type has the most Pokémon that evolve through trading. These include Slowking, Politoed, Gorebyss, Huntail, and Milotic.
**Coincidentally, all of these Pokémon require an item to evolve.
*The Water type has the most Gigantamax forms of any type, having 6. It also has the most G-Max moves of any type, with 4.
*Strangely, the Water type takes neutral damage from the Poison type instead of being weak to them, despite the fact that water is very easy to pollute, especially by toxic waste, and aquatic beings have great difficulty surviving in polluted water.
