Soak (Japanese: みずびたし Waterlog) is a non-damaging Water-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Generation V
Soak changes the target's type to pure Water-type. The effect lasts as long as the target remains in battle; however, changing form or transforming overrides the effect. Soak succeeds even if the target is already a pure Water-type Pokémon.
Soak fails if used on a substitute or a Pokémon with Multitype.
Type-changing effects cannot be Baton Passed.
Generation VI onwards
If used on a pure Water-type Pokémon, Soak's animation will still play, but the game will now state that the move has failed. Soak fails if used on a Pokémon with RKS System.
Soak can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move Rain Dance was used in the prior turn.
If powered up by a Waterium Z into Z-Soak, the user's Special Attack stat rises by one stage.
Generation IX
Soak fails if used on a Terastallized Pokémon.

Trivia
- This move originated as a TCG Poké-POWER.
- Although the move itself hasn't been used in the anime, getting wet has been shown to neutralize the Ground type's immunity to Electric in a couple of occasions, first with Brock's Onix in Showdown in Pewter City and later with Pryce's Piloswine in Nice Pryce, Baby! and Hapu's Mudsdale in A Grand Debut!. In the last instance, getting wet was directly mentioned to mimic Soak's effect.
- Masquerain, Azurill, Clobbopus, Grapploct, Eiscue, Tadbulb and Bellibolt are the only Pokémon capable of knowing Soak that are not Water type (besides Smeargle).
