Water-type Pokémon live in and around water, and their powers are directly related to their habitat system. They have a disadvantage against Electric-types (because electricity separates water particles and water molecules conduct electricity) and Grass-types (because grass absorbs water) attacks. They are advantageous against types such as Fire,Rock and Ground. Water is the type with the most Pokémon, with exactly 109 Pokémon in that type altogether.
Water type Pokémon have a massive bio-diversity, possibly because they have the largest and most varied habitat e.g seas, lakes, rivers and ponds. Most water type Pokémon seem to be based on fish, aquatic mammals, and crustaceans.
