Highlights

Water-type Pals in Palworld are versatile and useful in various tasks, from traveling across water to fighting Fire-type Pals.
Water attacks in Palworld are some of the strongest, with limited active skills but high damage output.
Specific Water Pals can learn powerful moves like Aqua Burst and Hydro Laser, which are effective against certain types of Pals and have high damage potential.

Surviving the treacherous waters is essential when living life in Palworld, and there are many Water-type Pals to assist. Whether it's traveling across long stretches of water, helping out with watering crops, or maintaining the mills back at the base, Water Pals are incredibly versatile and useful in all areas. Considering the large volume of Pals with the Fire element roaming around, it's always handy to have one of these Water types on the team, in order to douse those flames.

The Water active skills are limited, making most of the Water-type Pals resourceful and capable of learning a variety of different elemental attacks. It also leaves very little room for weaker attacks, making these Water-type attacks some of the strongest in Palworld. Here is a list of the six Water attacks, and how important they are for Pals to know.

6 Hydro Jet

Hurls A High-Speed Ball Of Water At An Enemy

Power: 30
Cast Time: 2 Seconds

The most basic water attack available, Hydro Jet packs the typical 30-based damage with a two-second charge time, allowing Pals to continue their assault of quick strikes in succession. All Water-type Pals are able to learn Hydro Jet, and it serves as a good start-up for the early game. Pals like Pengullet and Fuack can be found within the first few regions of a playthrough and can serve as a helping hand to fend off those pesky Fire-type Pals.

5 Aqua Gun

Hurls A Ball Of Water Straight At An Enemy

Power: 40
Cast Time: 4 Seconds

The next step-up is Aqua Gun, which takes twice as long to charge but offers a 40-based damage output. This move allows Pals to launch a stream of water from a distance, making it a great option for pre-emptive attacks. It also charges quickly, allowing players to hit a few consecutive hits before combat is engaged.

Some Ground-type Pals like Digtoise and Dumud are also able to learn Aqua Gun, providing some players with variety when taking on different Pals during trips around Palworld. All Water Pals have access to this move naturally.

4 Bubble Blast

Fires Numerous Bubbles That Slowly Pursue An Enemy

Power: 65
Cast Time: 13 Seconds

Not all Water-type Pals can learn Bubble Blast, but those that can have a 65-based power move that charges in 13 seconds. The few Water Pals that don't have access to this move can be given a Skill Fruit, or it can be saved for a different Elemental type in order to get a leg up on a Pal it may be weak against.

Bubble Blast is a good bridge between the first two moves on this list and the three that will follow it, and can be kept as the quick move of the set.

The following Water Pals Learn Bubble Blast Naturally:

Fuack
Teafant
Celeray
Gobfin
Surfent
Kepsea
Azurobe
Relaxaurus
Broncherry Aqua

Palworld: Sleeping Not Working Fix Guide

Trying to sleep in Palworld, but your character is not going to bed? Probably, you encountered a glitch. Here's how to fix Sleeping Not Working.

3 Acid Rain

Creates Acidic Clouds That Pour Down Acid Rain On Enemies

Power: 80
Cast Time: 18 Seconds

Just two Water-type Pals (Teafant and Elphidran Aqua) have access to Acid Rain naturally, but this 80-based power move can take out a chunk of HP with one solid blow. Pals with this move can launch a few acidic clouds overhead enemies and unleash a downpour of acid rain, hitting anything within its range.

Electric-type Dazzi and Dark-type Killamari can also learn this move, which is a great detail considering Dazzi's cloud-like body and Killamari's squid build.

The following Water Pals learn Acid Rain Naturally:

Teafant
Elphidran Aqua

2 Aqua Burst

Creates A Giant Ball Of Water And Hurls It At An Enemy

Power: 100
Cast Time: 30 Seconds

The first Water move to break the 100-based plateau is Aqua Burst, which launches a giant ball of water at the enemy. For this type of power, a charge time of 30 seconds is an excellent move to keep in the arsenal of any Water type. Placing it in the movelist of a Pal like Lyleen could be the perfect counter to Fire-type Pals, which is something Raid Boss Lily and Lyleen must have been considering, as they possess Water-type attacks to trump any plans that players may have had.

The following Water Pals learn Aqua Blast Naturally:

Fuack
Penking
Teafant
Celeray
Gobfin
Kepsea
Relaxaurus
Broncherry Aqua
Jormuntide
Suzaku Aqua

1 Hydro Laser

Shoots Pressurized Water At Extreme Velocities, Sweeping Over A Wide Area In Front Of It

Power: 150
Cast Time: 55 Seconds

The strongest move of all Water types, Hydro Laser packs a powerful 150-based damage with a charge time of 55 seconds. Its power is unmatched, and it can only be learned by three Pals naturally: Azurobe, Jormuntide, and Elphidran Aqua.

All three also have the second typing of Dragon, making the move's mystique feel like it comes from the ability of only the strongest Water-type Pals around. Of course, a Fruit Skill containing this move can be given to any Pal, but the Dragons remain the rulers of the sea.
