These creatures, much like the water they embody, destroy everything in their path, doing so with elegance and grace. In this selection, we have gathered the 15 strongest representatives of this element.

Kingler

Kingler belongs to the first generation but is still considered one of the best representatives of the water element. To obtain this character, you will need a few Krabbys, whose evolution will allow you to add the hero to your collection.

Despite having average stats, the character stands out due to its abilities: "Bubble" + "Crabhammer". In fact, in its time, it was this skill set that helped the character reach the top 1 in DPS for its element. Kingler’s spectrum of attacks instills fear not only in Fire Pokémon. The hero possesses Bug, Water, Steel, and Ground abilities, making it a versatile fighter.

Finding this fighter is quite simple since you only need to visit large bodies of water and their shores, where its kind resides. Evolution won’t take much time or resources either. In the end, you will have a worthy character.

Kingler performs best against Fire arena opponents, such as Charmander and its evolutions. Rest assured that if your opponent is a fan of fire, you’ll have a way to respond. The character's weaknesses are Electric and Grass Pokémon. Be careful when calling it to the arena against these types of warriors.

Palkia

Palkia is a legendary water dragon from the fourth generation, coveted by all who favor the marine element. In addition to being excellent at attacks, especially against Fire counterparts, it is also strong in defense, thanks to its draconic origin. This combination makes the hero a versatile tank in battles against many types of Pokémon.

One standout characteristic is its habitat. The dragon breaks the very barrier of reality, dwelling in another dimension. Because of this, it frequently comes into conflict with Dialga, the time dragon. Be cautious and don't leave these two alone.

The attacks that will bring victory are "Dragon Tail" and "Dragon Breath". Combine them to inflict maximum damage on the opponent. Don't forget that, like other Water Pokémon, Palkia is a real threat to Fire fighters.

Gyarados

Gyarados is feared and respected not only by Water type fans but also by those of other classes. The Pokémon was inspired by the great serpent Jörmungandr from Norse mythology and the majestic dragons of China, revered since ancient times.

In battle, the hero relies on its agility and quick attacks. The abilities "Hyper Beam", "Hurricane", and "Dragon Dance" leave opponents in shock, with no chance of resistance.

However, it's best to be cautious when the fighter reaches its Mega form. All the hero desires is to wreak destruction. Like a tsunami, it sweeps everything in its path. But this is what attracts trainers capable of controlling the creature’s power. The serpent's temperament matches the element.

Gyarados can be found in coastal waters, appearing more frequently where there are battles or conflicts on land.

Blastoise

This creature may appear slow and bulky, and its massive shell may raise doubts among some trainers. After all, how can a Pokémon with such a large structure avoid damage? But it doesn't need to, because Blastoise excels at absorbing damage and can strike back at any aggressor.

The name of this warrior reveals its characteristics. This turtle, armed with cannons, exudes confidence and sows doubt in the minds of adversaries. As the character evolves, it only increases its power and becomes even more formidable. Growing not only in size but also in firepower, the creature's final form looks truly threatening.

The warrior also possesses unconventional abilities. Blastoise can be trained with Ice type attacks like "Ice Beam" + "Blizzard", as well as steel attacks (though this isn’t typical of its element) such as "Gyro Ball" and "Flash Cannon". When the fighter spins inside its shell, resembling a bowling ball, enemies are flung in all directions, unable to stop the opponent.

If you intend to find this Pokémon, pay attention to the Kanto region. On the shores of lakes and small bodies of water, look for Squirtles, from which the fearsome Blastoise evolves.

Samurott

This warrior is one of the calmest, most loyal, and fiercest Pokémon available to trainers. This aquatic mammal, resembling a sea lion, may initially deceive with its appearance and behavior. But in the arena, it is a formidable and fierce opponent.

In its arsenal, the fighter wields two razor-sharp swords. Like a swift stream or a mountain river, it handles them, delivering precise blows from multiple directions, leaving the opponent no chance to react or defend. Even if the enemy manages to counterattack, they will face Samurott's armor, which vaguely resembles the armor of Japanese samurai. The armor plates are as strong as coastal rocks, protecting the Pokémon from injuries.

Finding this creature isn’t easy. It resides only in Unova. There aren’t many of them, as the character was brought from afar. But the lucky ones who manage to tame the hero will be rewarded with a fierce and loyal companion they can always rely on.

Sharpedo

The image of a shark has always inspired fear and respect. This feared marine predator is dreaded by all other water dwellers, and it’s no accident. Among Pokémon, there is also a fearsome shark — Sharpedo. The character perfectly embodies the essence of both its predecessor and its element. Formidable, fierce, and fast, this fighter inspires fear just by its presence in the arena.

Due to its natural aggressiveness and difficult character, the character is not very popular among trainers. But those who manage to master this predator will be fortunate to have such a defender. Once Sharpedo gets used to a person and sees them as an equal and worthy companion, it will be ready to destroy anyone they point to.

In battle, the fighter is akin to lightning. The hero moves quickly and is covered in dense scales that can pierce even ships. Powerful jaws are capable of breaking through any armor or defense. Thanks to these abilities, Sharpedo is ideal for quick and precise attacks.

The shark inhabits the Hoenn region. The character avoids people and prefers to live alone. After all, they were nearly wiped out. But if you put in the effort, you may be lucky enough to find and tame this fearsome predator.

Carracosta

Carracosta is a fairly rare Pokémon and is therefore coveted by many trainers. Externally, the hero appears massive and heavy. Its large front flippers, its shell, and its menacing face give the character an imposing appearance. But not everything is as it seems: behind the image of a heavy creature, there are unexpected surprises that can astonish an opponent.

In the arena, this Water Pokémon uses its powerful jaws and enormous flippers. It relies on the strength of its element and trusts in its mighty defense. Despite all of this, the fighter has the "Swift Swim" ability, something many trainers don't expect.

Although Carracosta is not very popular among fans, it would be foolish to deny the strength and resilience of this fighter. Furthermore, the warrior’s power is well-balanced with its defense, making it a versatile fighter for any collection.

Cloyster

Image: Pokémon.fandom.com 

The bivalve mollusk Cloyster is quite popular among both beginners and veterans. Thanks to its abilities and characteristics, the hero has become one of the leaders among other water Pokémon.

With a shell as hard as steel, covered in spikes, the character is protected against many types of attacks. When the enemy retreats, realizing they can't penetrate the defense, the fighter launches its spikes, hitting everything around. In extreme situations, Cloyster can crush the opponent with its shell in a final attempt to defeat a difficult adversary, even if it means sacrificing itself.

It’s interesting to note that, despite the size of its shell, these beings can move very quickly by expelling water at high pressure from within their shells.

Lapras

In many regions, the gentle giants known as Lapras can be found. These kind-hearted giants are some of the most loyal and devoted Pokémon. Unfortunately, in the past, people almost wiped them out. But for brave trainers willing to seek them out, they will find one of the most gentle and proud creatures.

Lapras, as ocean and sea dwellers, are excellent swimmers and happily transport their friends on their backs. They understand human language perfectly and are some of the most sociable warriors.

But don’t think they are defenseless because of their kindness. Only these creatures possess the G-Max attack "Resonance", capable of causing colossal damage. Their abilities "Shell Armor" + "Water Absorb" make the hero extremely resilient in combat.

Fun fact: the character’s design was inspired by the legendary Loch Ness Monster, whose existence is still debated.

Wailord

Image: Pokémon.fandom.com 

One of the most majestic Pokémon is Wailord. These giants roam the depths of seas and oceans, often forming groups. They are rarely found in coastal areas, which should be kept in mind by trainers looking to find and tame one.

In battle, the cetacean creature relies on its mass and powerful strikes. The hero can use the ability "Water Gun" for ranged attacks. But the main feature of Wailord is its endurance. The hero performs very well in encounters with Fire, Ice, Steel, and of course, water opponents.

Endurance is one of the character’s greatest strengths. It’s not easy to defeat the giant, as it has much more health compared to other aquatic companions at its level, something that trainers of all skill levels greatly value.

Starmie

Image: archives.bulbagarden.net 

Starmie is one of the most obedient and enigmatic Water Pokémon. Among all others of its kind, it stands out for its unusual form, resembling two starfish fused together, and also for its unique reproduction method. To create these beings, one must find an unusual gemstone and dive deep into the ocean.

In battle, these Pokémon use both common attacks and cosmic attacks, reflecting their form and mystery. The combination of abilities from two types forces opponents in the arena to be doubly cautious. The hero's arsenal also includes psychic, poison, and even rock attacks, making the character a versatile fighter.

Reproducing this fighter can be tricky since, being a genderless warrior, you are left with searching for Starmie in the depths of oceans and seas.

Porygon

This is an intelligent Pokémon, capable of creating copies of itself to use for attack or defense. Porygon inhabits laboratories and research stations. They are very curious but can sometimes be a bit shy.

The fighter can create copies of itself. It also has high attack power and special defense, making it a strong opponent in battle. Additionally, Porygon can use its knowledge to create new techniques and strategies.

Trainers value them for their unconventional approach to battles and creativity in the arena. However, one important detail: it’s impossible to predict whether the warrior’s new strategy will succeed in any given case.

Vaporeon

Vaporeon is a sea cat that lives near rivers and lakes. Visually and in personality, the hero is extremely cute, but in the face of danger, it reveals its wild temper and protects its friends.

Its main feature is the ability to surround friends and enemies with clouds of steam. Protecting allies and deceiving the opponent is the creature's favorite tactic in the arena. The additional special defense helps protect the team from the fiercest attacks.

Catching Vaporeon may seem like a simple task, but due to its personality, the fighter won’t surrender easily, even if the trainer is friendly. The pet is cunning and playful. Once you manage to tame one, Vaporeon will become a reliable companion in your adventures.

Squirtle

This ranking wouldn’t be complete without little Squirtle. These Pokémon appear cute and harmless, and they behave accordingly. Many opponents make the big mistake of underestimating such an adversary.

In battle, the character deals significant damage with water, hitting enemies with a dense stream or attacking with multiple orbs. Additionally, Squirtle can be taught ice attacks, which are effective against opponents of different types.

You can find this character in the Kanto region. Taming this fighter is fairly simple, as the turtle is very friendly and easily approachable.

Another dragon Pokémon on our list. Ampharos is a natural defender and gets along well with its trainer. Using electric attacks, the hero also emits a bright light that can blind opponents.

In the arena, Ampharos is valued for its robust defense and ability to restore health for itself and the team. The character disorients opponents and launches multiple attacks while staying out of their reach. The fighter also has a chance to paralyze the enemy.

The warrior usually inhabits rivers and small bodies of water, avoiding seas and oceans. However, it is likely to be found in clearings and pastures, also near water.

Thanks to its unique combination of types (Water + Electric), this hero can neutralize opponents both from a distance and in close combat. Skills like "Thunder" and "Spark" can paralyze enemies and deal massive damage.
