List of All Water Type Pokemon Cards

PTCGP Water Pokemon Deck Strategy

Strategy Focuses on Resource Management

A common theme for Water Type Cards is that they focus on getting more resources on the field and denying opponents to build their board. Some cards also have healing, which helps in prolonging battles.

The best strategy is to accelerate energy with Misty or Manaphy. This allows you to use the high-cost moves of Pokemon such as Palkia ex and Gyarados ex.
