>>58347022Quagsire
>>58347022Cloyster.
>>58347022azumarillrollout might sound like a meme move but you can absolutely break basically any of the early generations with a bulkymon like azumarill and a bunch of X itemsrecently did an emerald run where i begrudgingly decided to use huge power marill as my surfer and he wound up carrying the whole gameeven underleveled, he was able to take a lot of hits and set up on the e4>x accuracy>x speed>full restore>x attack>x attack>proceed to rollout everything to deaththis works on basically every fight in the gameanyways I love azumarill now
>>58347022Lanturn is still the best campaign water type in gen 2.
>>58347022You've got a lot of very good options, especially if you can get your hands on a water stone. Quagsire is very popular by virtue of being an early game water/ground. Slowbro is a psychic type with slack off late game. Lanturn is a decent alternative to Starmie if you don't want to grind out a water stone.If you can obtain a water stone, then all of the stone evolutions are good. Vaporeon hits the hardest of any of the water types on the special side and learns an ice move by level up. Poliwrath has sleep and combos well with focus punch while offering insurance if blizzard misses. Cloyster is a physical tank that can make use of its good attack stat with skill link icicle spear. Starmie is a coverage god with blizzard and thunder TMs.
>>58347022Lanturn is the goat
>>58347046if you're gonna use X items, you can do that with literally every pokemon in the game and get results
>>58347022SLOWBRO>Great physical defenses and solid SpAtk for a tank>Access to shit like Trick Room and Thunder Wave>Resists Will, SE vs Koga, destroys Bruno, great vs Lance with Ice Beam>Fucks up the majority of Kanto and lategame Johto leaders as well The GOAT
>>58347022I like seadra and dewgong.
>>58347094yeah, thats kind of true, but azumarill was way more effective this way than I thought he'd bemost pokemon are just kind of meh with X item setups, but something about azumarills combination of typing and stats just really seemed to work wonders for me
>>58347022Lanturn, frees you from Ampharos too
as someone said, slowbro. the speed isnt as big as a deal because he's bulky af
Slowking if you can trade.
>>58347022Mantine.
>>58347435About time someone mentioned my goat Mantine>Solid typing with only two weaknesses (you’re not using it against Electric types even if they weren’t quad effective)>Immense special defence and solid special attack>Somehow gets Psybeam and Signal Beam from the move reminder>Classy as fuck>What the fuck is a GyaradosThe choice is obvious
>>58347022mantine
>>58347457>>58347435can vouch for mantine i've been enjoying it latelything is a beast on the special bulk side plus who doesn't like manta rays
>>58347022Starmie
>>58347427Slowking almost breaks the game open getting those stats as soon as slowpoke well. Too bad it's so, well, slow, which keeps it from being a total bomb, but Slowking is one of my favorite pokemon ever
