Team Rocket Water Type Grunt Guide

Kartana is the absolute way to go whenever something is weak to Grass (and even when it isn't sometimes). You just need Razor Leaf, mindlessly tap until stuff faints and you're good to go. I cannot recommend Kartana enough with its razor sharp attack stat and Steel typing. If you have never used one before, try it, you won't regret it.

Xurkitree has got to be the ultimate Water-type slaying machine having access to both Electric and Grass type moves. Thunder Shock quickly generates energy paired with either Discharge or Power Whip to have better coverage against Water/Ground types.

Venusaur can be used like Kartana with Razor Leaf, but Vine Whip is also a viable option if you happen to have Frenzy Plant. It does have to watch out for ice type attacks!

This Pokemon is very much the definition of a glass cannon, but a cannon nonetheless. Give it Razor Leaf and watch it work its magic.

Electivire in both forms makes quick work of Water types with Thunder Shock and Wild Charge. It would be higher on this list if it wasn't for those pesky Water/Ground types who completely wall it. It mostly serves as a counter to Gyarados if you're facing the male grunt.

Everything said for Electivire goes for Raikou.

Shaymin, although it's a fantastic pick, is a bit lower than it could've been. Being double weak to Ice type moves, which Water type Pokemon often have access to, makes it a quite frail. However, it's worth bringing along as Magical Leaf paired with Grass Knot is a great moveset.

It has access to Razor Leaf so it's on the list. Just like Shaymin its very much weak to Ice type moves, so thread carefully.
