Like, in the Indigo Disk DLC in the Polar Biome, you can find Hisuian Qwilfish in the water (he isn't a Water Type), and since he is in the water, the Dive Ball gets the 3.5x catch rate modifier on him. What other examples of that are present in the games?

This question is asking for a LIST OF POKEMON. Don't post "it works on all surfing/fishing encounters".

SV may be difficult to conclusively answer because you can move a lot of Pokemon quite far. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/1gxrt69/it_took_forever_but_i_brought_a_wild_beartic_from/ )
Can we narrow SV's scope to Pokemon that spawn in the water, so we don't have to test if every Pokemon has a swimming animation?
I should probably make that an answer
Yea, only Pokémon that spawn in water should count, I should've probably said that in the question.
Serebii fortunately has a list of Pokémon with swimming animations, so we can simply figure out which of these Pokémon that aren't Water type can be found in water.
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/swim.shtml
Of these Pokémon, the Pikachu line, Galarian Slowpoke line, Eevee line, Paldean Wooper line, Hisuian Qwilfish line, Azurill, Tynamo line, Skrelp line, Bergmite line, Eiscue, and the Pawmi line all have swimming animations. Gholdengo and Lugia also do, but I believe them and their pre-evolutions can only be found in static encounters.
Despite this, Bulbapedia states that Pokémon that normally walk on land but fly over water (such as Tropius) also receive the Dive Ball buff. Would you also like to know these Pokémon?
As the above comment says, only the ones that spawn on water.
