Best Water-type attackers in Pokémon GO (2026)
The best Water-type attackers in Pokémon GO are Primal Kyogre, Kyogre, Mega Blastoise, Origin Palkia, and Shadow Suicune.
Water counters the Fire / Ground / Rock raid trifecta — among the most common raid boss types. Fire raids (Heatran, Reshiram, Mega Charizard) and Ground raids (Groudon, Garchomp, Excadrill) are constant.
The list below is built on raid DPS × bulk × moveset score. Top picks are legendaries, but free-to-play Water attackers (Swampert, Gyarados) sit just outside top 5 and are reliable backups.
- MAX CP 4,708Water
Primal bonus + 270 attack base + Origin Pulse = top Water DPS in the game. The single strongest attacker against Groudon raids.
MOVESET Waterfall + Origin Pulse - #2KyogreMAX CP 4,708Water
Without Primal, regular Kyogre still leads the non-Mega Water attacker list. Surf is faster than Origin Pulse for energy generation.

Mega bonus + Hydro Cannon = top Water Mega. Use this as your Mega slot for any Fire raid.

Dragon/Water dual STAB makes this competitive against Dragon raids too. Hydro Cannon is its standout move.
MOVESET Dragon Tail + Hydro Cannon - MAX CP 3,412Water
Shadow buff + bulky Water attacker. Hydro Pump is high-damage but slower energy than Hydro Cannon Megas.

Newer Mega with strong stats. Surf is energy-efficient. Comes online during themed events.
MOVESET Waterfall + Surf - MAX CP 3,563Water
