Why is soak good for catching Pokemon?
Soak turns the Pokémon into a water type. So that allows you to use spore on grass types & false swipe on ghosts. Hope this helped! Soak changes the target’s type to pure Water. The effect lasts as long as the target remains in battle; however, changing form or transforming overrides the effect. Soak succeeds even if the target is already a pure Water-type Pokémon. Soak fails if used on a substitute.Soak can have a number of applications that it can be used in, but this is just one of them. It’s pretty sick, with the amount of combos with moves and Pokemon to choose from that normally wouldn’t be effective, Soak can be utilized to be one of the best offensive and defensive moves a water type Pokemon could have.
