>amazing offensively. Add an ice move (which all water types get) and it gets the result is perfect coverage for everything except itself. One of the few types that hits steel neutrally
>amazing defensively, only two weaknesses, one of which it can counter with ice moves which it always gets, the other one countered with the ever presence and wide distribution of earthquake. Also great resistances, resisting two very common offensive types
>has its own weather with plenty of different abilities to support it
>has its own version of every move you can think of, including u-turn
>despite both having similar power, you could always get surf super early and teach it as many times as you wanted, while flamethrower/tbolt/icebeam were often post-game stuff if at available all. Most types don't even get a reliable move like that at all
>when hms were a thing, the abundance of water hms made water types almost mandatory on every team
>most numerous type
>most gym-leaders of any type
Water enjoys favoritism and being stealthily the best type in the game since gen 1 while dragon, steel and fairy get all the hate.
