Characteristics
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. It has no weaknesses to any physical attacks, Grass-type attacks are rare and a Water-type Pokémon can simply switch away from any Electric-type attacks.
The Water type is also useful offensively. All Water-type Pokémon can learn Ice Beam (except Magikarp, which does not learn TMs) to deal with Dragon and Grass-types, making their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It is somewhat useful to be super-effective against Ground and Rock types, but not a whole lot. It is also reasonably good against Steel, being a special type and that Steel isn't resistant to it. It is the best type to use on the Aron family (types Rock/Steel), since Aron's other weaknesses are physical, and Aron's special defense is approximately 40% of its physical.
