Best types to use against Water/Electric
To beat a Water/Electric Pokémon, use Grass and Ground moves: they deal 2× damage. Do not waste turns on Steel (¼×), Fire (½×), Water (½×), Ice (½×) and Flying (½×).
Water/Electric and Electric/Water are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Electric/Water search lands on this page too.
Going the other way, Water and Electric moves between them hit Fire, Water, Ground, Flying and Rock super effectively, but Grass and Dragon take reduced or no damage from both.
3 Pokémon have the Water/Electric typing: 2 species and 1 alternate form, first appearing in Generation 2 and spanning 2 generations to Generation 4.
The highest base stat total is Wash Rotom with 520; the average across the group is 437.
Abilities that change Water/Electric matchups
Some Water/Electric Pokémon have an ability that overrides the type chart. These are the ones that do:
- Levitate floats the Pokémon off the ground, so Ground moves miss (Ground 2× to 0×). Held by Wash Rotom.
- Water Absorb turns Water moves into healing (Water ½× to 0×). Held by Chinchou (hidden ability), Lanturn (hidden ability).
- Volt Absorb turns Electric moves into healing (Electric 1× to 0×). Held by Chinchou, Lanturn.
