Although Squirtle is arguably the most famous water type in the world of PokemonThere are many others that can be more impressive and powerful than this expensive starter when used in battle. As with all types, Pokemon under this classification can vary drastically in how powerful they are, especially when evolved into a Mega Evolution. Many water types are also combined into dual types, providing both greater strengths and weaknesses. Of course, sometimes the pure water-type Pokemon can be the most useful for trainers in many situations.
While some Mega Evolutions and Primal Reversions count as Pure Water types, Creatures that can gain any typing based on a number or move do not qualify. Do you fight in Pokémon GOPlaying one of the major video games such as Pokemon Scarlet and Violetor using physical cards in the trading card game, Pokemon TCGHaving strong water-type Pokemon can have a significant impact. Classic, pure water-type creatures like Blastoise, or dual-typing Pokemon like Swampert can change the course of a battle with ease.
