Being the most common type of Pokémon, picking the right water-type can be a real challenge. So why not use your personality to find the ideal companion? Water-type Pokémon are extremely versatile but particularly common, so it’s important that you choose the one that is best suited to your playstyle, be that winning battles, catching them all, or just having the most adorable Pokémon in the game. Choosing the ideal companions for this can be challenging. Which is why you use your MBTI® personality to dictate it for you.

Your MBTI gives an in-depth exploration of your personality, telling you your traits, flaws, strengths, and weaknesses. This is why it would be a perfect way to find the water-type Pokémon that is perfectly suited to you.

16 ISTJ: Poliwhirl

This personality is all about order, they are observant and will plan their battles with great attention to detail. Hence why a versatile Pokémon like Poliwhirl is an ideal match.

With Poliwhirl by your side, you can plan battles with ease, however, this obsession with planning can sometimes be seen as insensitive.

15 ISFJ: Vaporeon

Reliable, sensible but reserved and unsure when it comes to confrontation. ISFJ’s are kind but particularly mature, often to the point of disregarding their own feelings in favor of organization.

This is why you need a Pokémon like Vaporeon to win those battles confidently and bring a little wild streak to your life.

14 INTP: Mudkip

This personality are typically independent and loyal to their friends and family. They enjoy being affectionate but prefer to keep themselves to themselves when they can.

Mudkip is exactly the same, although a pack animal, it will be loyal to you and be extremely affectionate. Mudkips adorable face says it all really.

13 INFJ: Squirtle

INFJ’s are typically excitable, creative, and particularly idealistic about their future. Just like Squirtle.

However, just like Squirtle, you can be a little stubborn or sensitive when things don’t go your way. Nevertheless, Squirtle always makes a wonderful companion.

12 INFP: Seel

If you are an INFP then you are undeniably loyal to those who deserve it, you care about having close relationships with friends and family but can often overlook details that matter since you are enthralled with making others happy.

Having Seel by your side will be like having your double as a Pokémon. Both are loyal, caring, and pride others more than themselves.

11 INTJ: Milotic

Described as the most beautiful Pokémon ever, the trait of self-confidence just makes sense here.

INTJ’s are perfectionists and are hardworking to ensure they keep hold of that perfect ideal they hold. Having a Pokémon as perfect as Milotic just makes sense.

10 ISTP: Suicune

ISTP’s are logical but enjoy taking risks. However, these risks and this logical attitude can often be perceived as boredom, since it is a trait that they get bored easily.

This is why you need a Pokémon that will keep you on your toes and make the games enjoyable. Suicune is the ideal Pokémon since it’s so versatile and powerful, enabling you to do what you please.

9 ISFP: Empoleon

Empoleon is an emperor penguin that is practical, aware of its surroundings, and rather reserved when it wants to be. Yet it can still do some huge damage on the battlefield when needed.

This is why it is so perfect for those with this personality since ISFP’s are pretty reserved yet aware of everything around them and are practical about how they plan their future and battles in the games.

8 ESTP: Marill

Just like Marill, this personality is energetic, impulsive, and excitable. They are the opposite of most introverts and enjoy attention, yet they are often rather competitive when challenged.

With Marill by your side, you can keep that lively streak going whilst still doing enough damage to keep that competitive streak alive.

7 ESFP: Dracovish

Similar to Marill, Dracovish is impulsive, energetic, and rather optimistic about the future and their powers. However, they are also extremely spontaneous so it’s important to pair this Pokémon with someone who can control or go with that easily.

ESFP’s are equally as spontaneous and impulsive, meaning that the two would work together easily and perfectly, causing chaos in their wake.

6 ENFP: Volcanion

The traits that come with being an ENFP are warm and enthusiastic, however, then things don’t go their way then they can get rather stressed out. Now nothing says warm like the only fire/water-type Pokémon in the game!

However, both Volcanion and ENFP’s struggle to follow rules and are pretty enthusiastic about whatever they strive to achieve. Meaning that the two can help each other reach their ultimate goals.

5 ENTP: Tapu Fini

This legendary Pokémon is an ideal companion for anyone that’s an ENTP since both value knowledge over battles. This group typically enjoys catching them all rather than battling but with this Pokémon by your side, you can really do anything.

Tapu Fini can be rather insensitive when it comes to battle but both are so similar that this pairing just makes sense.

4 ESTJ: Croconaw

Croconaw is awesome, it is a hardworking Pokémon that you can most certainly depend on when needed. This is something that ESTJ’s pride and look for in a friend or partner since they are hardworking themselves.

Their hard work can often be undermined by others making the ESTJ’s seem argumentative or bossy since they want things done efficiently and correctly. However, with Croconaw at your side, you’ll both move and attack like clockwork.

3 ESFJ: Ducklett

Those that fit under this category are kind, loyal, and often seek approval from others as they can often be rather insecure.

With Ducklett by your side, all you have to do is look at it and see how cute and kind this Pokémon is. It will keep you feeling happy consistently and wash those insecurities away if it can.

2 ENFJ: Mantyke

This personality contains kindness, empathy, and is happy to encourage those around them. However, they can also be a little indecisive. Which is why it’s so important to have a Pokémon like Mantyke by your side.

Equally as encouraging and happy, this Pokémon can help you make those tough decisions with your traits and goals in mind.

1 ENTJ: Gyarados

ENTJ’s are the leaders of their friendship group, they are hardworking and strive to push others to their goals too, but this can sometimes be seen as bossy or controlling.

This is why you need the leader of the water-types, Gyarados by your side to help squash those that see you as bossy. Both you and Gyarados are hardworking and will reach your end goal in no time.
