Separate damage, slowing effects and recovery

Water Gun sends a piercing projectile through targets. Bubble spreads slowing bubbles, while Bubble Beam delivers them in a short cone. Hydro Pump fires a powerful beam at a slower pace. Aqua Ring supports recovery, so pair it with a damaging move rather than counting it as an attack.

Sea Grotto: the Water Rift arena

Water slows you down. Circle in short loops to stay in range without crossing the pools.

Eight legendaries can use Sea Grotto. Suicune, Kyogre, Phione and Manaphy are pure Water in this roster. Palkia, Keldeo, Volcanion and Tapu Fini have a second type and can also use its arena. They keep both types for damage matchups.

Water damage in rain and sunlight

Rain boosts Water and weakens Fire; harsh sunlight boosts Fire and weakens Water. The official guide treats weather separately from type matchups, so a favourable type matchup does not remove the need to check conditions.
