>weak to ice which every water type carries>poor coverage otherwise, so non-grass pokemon almost never have reason to be carrying grass moves.And on the other hand with electric.
>there are a large amount of water/grounds neutralizing electric weakness>electric type pokemon typically aren't that good. (poor coverage, sub-par damage, frail, etc)Water types also have access to the ridiculously broken Scald. 80bp, 100% accuracy and 30% chance to burn, which cripples physically attackers. Note that most water types will run bold natures.
Offensively, water hits every type but grass, dragon and water for at least neutral. But since every water type gets Ice Beam, that means their innate coverage extends to the only type not hit for neutral is, of course; water type.
