TheWater type (Japanese:水(みず)Water) is one of the elevenTCG types. It is represented by the color blue, and symbolized by a water droplet.

The Water type contains mostWater- andIce-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example,Blastoise,Articuno, andPiloswine are all Water types in the TCG.

The correspondingBasic Energy card isBasic Water Energy. Where the symbol appears in an attackcost, it indicates that a Water Energy must be attached to the Pokémon in order for the Pokémon to use that attack.

  • Before theSword & Shield expansion, this occurs if the Pokémon is Water-type but notGround-type orRock-type in the games.
• Grass, if the Pokémon is a Water/Ground-type or Water/Rock-type Pokémon in the games (before the Sword & Shield expansion).
• Fighting, if the Pokémon isIce-type in the games (onlyWalrein ex fromEX Legend Maker).
