Is there a good offensive water type available before Driftveil in bw2?

I did not choose Samurott as my starter and I already released my Snivy because it sucks. So, is there any good offensive water that I can catch before I battle Clay?

Smogon has an useful thread aboutBW2 in-viability rankings, which are helpful to decide what Pokemon you should use. Azurill is ranked A- and is the highest ranked water-type in the viability rankings.

If you don’t mind low speed, then this is your best choice. It has a chance of being Huge Power, having great attack stats as well as decent bulk. Only what it lacks is speed, but that’s make-up by its good bulk as well as decent move-pool. It gets Aqua Tail by level up, as well as Waterfall via HM. In Driftveil city, you can teach it Ice Punch at the cost of 10 Red Shards after which it starts dominating and punching Drayden as well as Iris. If you still think speed is superior over bulk, there are some other options apart from this:

Here are sets for both:Azumarill @ Nothing / Mystic WaterAbility: Huge Power

Basculin @ Nothing / Mystic WaterAbility: Adaptability

Hope this helps!
