Pokemon Champions · Type matchups

Water type

How the Water type works in Champions ranked battles — what it hits hardest, what it fears, and every Water Pokemon on the roster.

Open the team builder

As the attacker

Water moves hit super-effectively:

fire ground rock

Not very effective against:

water grass dragon

As the defender

Water Pokemon take more from:

fire ground rock

Water Pokemon resist:

water grass dragon

Build with it

In the builder, Water coverage matters because Fire, Ground, Rock are common defensive staples. Allocate stat points with the 66/32 caps in mind:

  • 32 / 32 / 2 spreads are the ranked baseline
  • cap any single stat at 32
  • the builder flags illegal spreads automatically
