Minimum size grounding conductor for a 200 amp service entrance is #6 bare copper.
The conductor connected to a metal water pipe, or whatever your primary grounding electrode is, is required to be #4 copper. This size requirement is often missed.
The conductor connected to a ground rod is only required to be #6 regardless of the size of service. Typical installation is #6 bare solid copper.

Notes: 1. Where multiple sets of service-entrance conductors are used as permitted in Section 230-40, Exception No. 2, the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor shall be determined by the largest sum of the areas of the corresponding conductors of each set. 2. Where there are no service-entrance conductors, the grounding electrode conductor size shall be determined by the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor required for the load to be served. 1 This table also applies to the derived conductors of separately derived ac systems. 2 See installation restrictions in Section 250-64(a).
