Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon - Water Type Pokemon: Directory

Water Type Pokemon

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon Water Type Pokemon often appear in seas lakes or small ponds of water which players encounter via Surf or Fishing. In the pokeverse there are some trainers that specialize in training Water Type pokemon. Notable trainers under this category are Misty of Cerulean City Lana of Konikoni City on Akala Island Crasher Wake from Pastoria City and many others. From generations I-IV Water Type pokemon often specialized using special attacks. However after Generation IV some physical attacks have been included in their attack roster.

Battle Properties

Like any other pokemon Water Type pokemon have an advantage over certain types. Some of those types are Fire Ice Steel and Ground. However they also take neutral damage from other elements but deal halved damage against other pokemon. Some type combinations that take half-damage from Water Type pokemon are the Dragon Type pokemon.

Type Defenses

However this can change if the pokemon is a dual-type (i.e. Water/Flying like Pelipper). Then Pelipper will take x4 damage against Electric Types but regular damage from grass type attacks.

Water Type

Dual Type

Dual Type pokemon often take more damage from a single element. However this is done in exchange for taking regular damage from another element the type in question is weak to. For example Pelipper is a dual Water/Flying Type pokemon. If Pelipper takes damage from a Grass Type attack it’ll only receive x1 damage because of it being half-Flying type. However if it gets hit from an Electric type attack Pelipper will take quadruple the damage.

Primary: Water

Dual Type Water Type Pokemon have two mixtures. One has Water as its primary type and the other as its secondary type. However regardless if the type is primary or secondary it does not affect the STAB and power of certain moves.
