Poll: I need a Water Type Pokemon...Pokefans, help me choose.

[RikSharp]

Probably Poliwag etc. Out of curiosity, how do you evolve it into a 'wrath? I forget. Is it just through training? I don't want to bother training one only to find I can't evolve it without doing some trading.

I freakin' hate trade evolutions, I don't know a single other person who plays.

you can trade online, just ask a nice person on this very forum, i'm sure someone will oblige.

Kingler.

in blue i had a lvl 40 kingler who i trusted in battles for some reason.

i truly did........

Actually, if you have access to one, Palkia's a good water choice for actually fighting the elite four. it means you'd need an hm slave to get there however

i had this same pronlem last night, ended up trading over a Quagsire from Diamond...Quagsire is like uber pro, especially over poliwag since poliwag and its evolutions have shit moves

I'd go slowpoke, its got cruse, which cuts down your speed but greatly increases attack and defense, and sense he has no to begin with it is like you arn't sacrificing any thing, you got to get one in the slowpoke cave or else they wont learn it though. Short of that go Wooper sense he has the ground type and there for immune to electricity.

No, get a Cloyster. That's always been one of my favorites, but I only got to use it in Pokemon Stadium. Just got my first one in a main game today!

Psyduck.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Tentacruel has good speed, good Sp. Attk, and great Sp. Def, so he would be my choice in a landslide. The others you list are actually quite bad, though Quagsire has a fantastic dual-type and can learn good HM moves. His stats are fairly bad though.

The best choices for a Water type would be Gyrados (Physical Sweeper), Starmie (Special Sweeper), Swampert (Physical Tank), or Suicune (Special Tank). Each of those has a pretty good niche and works well.

I had the same problem.
I'm going with a Poliwrath. He looks cool, has hypnosis (I just like having it, sue me), and everytime I see it the noise poliwag makes in Pokemon snap runs through my head and I giggle.

Good luck with your choice =)

 

[Awexsome]

Go with Krabby-Kingler!

If you say you've got plenty of special types already then Krabby/Kingler's massive attack/defense should work for ya. That's what I went with and he's worked pretty well. He'll dominate once he finally learns Crabhammer.

P.S. I named mine Spycrab.

 

[fwelord]

If you don't like gyarodos use vaporeon.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

Tentacruel.

Poison attacks along with you water attacks? Fuck yea

yes but its got so many weaknesses

 

[Plazmatic]

Personally I would choose Quagsire being that its a ground water type, so electric attacks dont effect it, but Kingler is also good since it can know guillotine (one hit KO move) and knows some ground attacks to fend off electric types. Tentacruel is good too, since it is not highly effected by grass types but instead by ground, electric and psycic types, however since there are soo many pokemon greatly against it, it would not be the best choice, the worst choice would be pollywhrath, being that four types are good against it,electric grass, flying and phsycic.

must resist....saying.....mudkip.....

 

[TheStickman]

You must get the Krabby.

 

[S.R.S.]

I've never really liked water typed pokemon to begin with other than the starters.

Lugia?

 

[O277]

I would say go for Cloyster, because I've got him in my squad at lv55 and he's a beast, very hard to KO.

But based on your Poll I'd got for Kingler, because he's a giant crab, and who doesn't want that?
