But the Pok\u00e9mon that unexpectedly can swim are the ones drawing the attention of players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many rivers flow through the large open world featured in <em>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet,<\/em> and the whole area is surrounded by a vast ocean. As you progress through your adventure, it becomes possible for your rideable Pok\u00e9mon to travel along the surface of the water, and you can even send out your other Pok\u00e9mon while doing so. For example, if you bring out a fish-like Pok\u00e9mon, you will be able to see it swimming comfortably in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pok\u00e9mon that are able to swim in the water are not limited to water types, as shown by Twitter user @TAHK0, who made a post saying, \u201cI made an important pokemon discovery,\u201d which features a video of a Pikachu skillfully swimming in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I made an important pokemon discovery <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PokemonScarletViolet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PokemonScarletViolet<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k0ToucnIb4\">pic.twitter.com\/k0ToucnIb4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TAHK0 \u2615\ufe0f (@TAHK0) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TAHK0\/status\/1600244177249644544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 6, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other Pok\u00e9mon in Pikachu\u2019s evolutionary line, Pichu and Raichu, are also able to swim. Many other Pok\u00e9mon can swim too, including Eevee, Dratini, Tynamo, Eiscue. We were also able to confirm that new Pok\u00e9mon Pawmi can swim, and you will likely be able to find a multitude of other swimming Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s interesting is that there doesn\u2019t appear to be any clear factor that determines whether or not a Pok\u00e9mon can swim. We know that Pok\u00e9mon like Dratini and Tynamo\u2019s final evolution, Eelektross, can swim in the water based on their Pok\u00e9dex entries from throughout the series. On the other hand, there are Pok\u00e9mon that can swim even if it isn\u2019t stated in their Pok\u00e9dex entries, like Pikachu and Eevee. This means that the Pok\u00e9dex alone is not enough to figure out whether a Pok\u00e9mon can swim.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221207-229715-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In some of the past games, players could obtain a Surfing Pikachu, and starting with <em>Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/em>, it became possible to teach any Pikachu the move Surf via a TM. Perhaps the developers looked into whether a Pok\u00e9mon is capable of learning moves that require it to be on the water when deciding which Pok\u00e9mon can swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eevee is a Pok\u00e9mon that is unique in the way it can evolve into many different forms based on how it adapts to its environment. With the exception of Flareon, all of Eevee\u2019s evolutions can swim, and one might consider this to be the result of its impressive adaptability. Incidentally, an Eevee can also be seen swimming alongside a Vaporeon in the Pok\u00e9mon anime series. Even if there is no mention of it in the Pok\u00e9dex entries, Eevee is considered a Pok\u00e9mon that can swim based on the official setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At any rate, it appears that whether or not a Pok\u00e9mon can swim is based on a variety of factors, including past works across the entire <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> series. It might be a fun exercise to take your favorite Pok\u00e9mon to a body of water and find out whether they, too, can enjoy a leisurely dip.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
