Water Gym Leaders are Pokémon Trainers that specialise in the training and battling with Water type Pokémon. They proved their ability and have become leaders of a City Gym.
Throughout the Pokémon game series, players have to defeat Gym Leaders before challenging the Elite Four and finally the existing Champion in order to win the games. Within the games, a number of Gym Leaders and one Elite Four Trainer only use Water type Pokémon.
To have the best chance of defeating Water Gym Leaders, the player’s team should include those Pokémon types that are strong when attacking Water types – Electric and Grass type Pokémon.
Detailed below is a complete Water Elite Four and Water Gym Leaders list, with information about that Leader and the Pokémon they typically use in battles.
