Water (TCG)
The Water type (Japanese: 水 Water) is one of the eleven TCG types. It is represented by the color blue, and symbolized by a water droplet.
The Water type contains most Water- and Ice-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Blastoise, Articuno, and Piloswine are all Water types in the TCG.
The corresponding Basic Energy card is Basic Water Energy. Where the 
symbol appears in an attack cost, it indicates that a Water Energy must be attached to the Pokémon in order for the Pokémon to use that attack.
Battle properties
Generally, Water Pokémon have a weakness to:
- Lightning, if the Pokémon is Water-type in the games.
- Before the Sword & Shield expansion, this occurs if the Pokémon is Water-type but not Ground-type or Rock-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 is Ice-type in the games (only Walrein ex from EX Legend Maker).
- Metal, if the Pokémon is Ice-type in the games.
These types are generally weak to Water Pokémon:
These types are generally resistant to Water Pokémon:
- Grass
- Colorless, if the Pokémon is Dragon-type (only during the EX sets) in the games
