Pokémon GO – How to Catch Water-Type Pokémon

Recommended Videos

From Lapras to Vaporeon, there’s a water type Pokémon out there for everyone in Pokémon GO, the 2016 success story of gaming with the Pokémon craze nesting in everyone’s hearts for the time. To this day, there are still millions upon millions of players around the world and this guide article will tell you the tricks and tips of how to catch water type Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

I Need Those Pokémon! How can I get them?

There is an abundance of methods that you can follow in order to obtain more water-type Pokémon for your adorned collection of loveable Pokémon. Firstly, the main method is to look in places where you’ll clearly find water. This could be at a lake or a river for example, and walking about these areas for a while will likely give you the opportunity to catch a few of them.

Likewise, if you feel like it’s a day for the beach, why not bring your family along and make it a day out to go and collect the Pokémon that may be swarming beach areas. A perfect day out for those who want to not only see jellyfish but also see all the virtual Pokémon at the same time.

Another method to catch the Pokémon is to trade with your friends for the ones they have already caught. In order to do this, meet up with your friend and be in at least 100 meters of them, afterwards navigate to the trading screen by pressing on your trainer profile. Go to the friends’ tab and open the list, press on your desired partner to trade with then tap on the trade button to enter into the trading screen.

From this point, your partner can decide what Pokémon they want to trade with you and then you will be able to obtain the water Pokémon you want if they are extra tough to find through the game mechanics alone. The Pokémon’s HP, CP, and other notable stats are adjusted when you trade compared to what they are for your partner. This will be showcased to you before the trade on screen.
