A '''watering can''' (Japanese: '''じょうろ''' ''watering can'') is an item that allows a user to water [[Berry]] plants in the [[Pokémon world]]. In the games, they are always [[Key Item]]s.

==In the core series games==
In the [[core series]] games, watering cans have been used for two purposes: watering {{Berries}} and displacing {{p|Sudowoodo}} in the overworld. All watering cans have these same two effects, although Berries cannot be watered in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and Sudowoodo only appears as an overworld obstacle in [[Johto]] and {{game|Emerald}}.

Each region has its own design of watering can, each based on a different species of Pokémon.

===Pokémon Dream World===
[[File:DW Watering Can.png|thumb|Watering Can]]
In the [[Pokémon Dream World]], the player starts off with the [[Décor]] item Watering Can, which can be used to water Berry plants in people's gardens. While the Watering Can has its own category in the [[Plain Catalogue]], there is only one type.

A Berry cannot be watered as soon as it is planted; it must dry out first before it can be watered. The player can water others' Berries up to 20 times per trip, as of the April 2011 Dream World update. Prior to this update, there was no limit. There is no limit on watering the player's own Berries.

==In the anime==
[[James]] used a [[Squirt Bottle]] on a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. Another Squirt Bottle appeared in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', where [[Mimey]] was seen watering the plants in the Ketchum residence. A Squirt Bottle belonging to {{ho|Miranda}} appeared in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', and was used to water her garden. {{an|Professor Oak}} used a Squirt Bottle in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', watering a {{p|Bellsprout}} and an {{p|Oddish}} with it. In ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', {{Delia}} used a Squirt Bottle to water her flowers. Prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Squirt Bottles in the anime were depicted with legs, unlike in the games.

A [[Wailmer Pail]] appeared in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''. It was used by {{OBP|Rita|AG012}} to water her {{Berries}} in the [[Pretty Petal flower shop]].

A [[Sprayduck]] was briefly seen in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan]]'', where it was used by [[Forsythia]] and her {{p|Roserade}} to water the plants around her house. It made a brief cameo along with Forsythia in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]''. Another Sprayduck was used by an {{tc|Aroma Lady}} during the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A [[Sprinklotad]] was briefly seen in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', where it was one of the items offered to {{Ash}} by a market vendor in [[Coumarine City]] after Ash had wondered out loud what presents he should buy for an upcoming festival.

==Trivia==
* The Sprinklotad is the only watering can whose design is not based on a pure {{type|Water}} Pokémon; {{p|Lotad}} is a Water/{{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* The Wailmer Pail is the only watering can whose design is based on a Pokémon that was also introduced in the same generation as the watering can.
