Water

The Water-type is one of the fifteen elemental types introduced in the first generation of Pokémon. It is considered one of the three basic elemental types a player is subjected to, as every Starter Trio contains a Water-typed Pokémon. Furthermore, the Water-type contains the most Pokémon out of all the types consisting of water or near-water dwelling creatures and marine life forms in general.

It is to note that before Generation 4, all damaging Water-type moves were categorized into special attacks, while afterward being split up into the physical and status categories too – depending on the move.
