Should I use Tentacool, Wailmer or Wingull in a Ruby playthrough?

Wailord isn’t obtainable until after you defeat Norman. It has low defenses and speed, and its attack stats are only slightly above average. It can learn earthquake, but earthquake won’t get STAB and is super effective against very few late-game opponents.

Pelipper and Tentacruel are both pretty useful. Wingull learns water gun and wing attack while Tentacool is stuck with cut and acid, but Tentacool learns bubblebeam. Tentacruel has higher physical attack and speed, which makes it better as a mixed attacker (with surf, sludge bomb, and ice beam) in the late game.

If you’re okay with using other Pokemon, Sharpedo and Starmie might be better. Sharpedo’s special attack isn’t the best, but it has high speed and gets STAB when using crunch. Starmie has high special attack and speed and learns thunderbolt. Both crunch and thunderbolt are useful in many late-game boss battles.source

Wingull and wailmer are attacking walls, tentacool is a fast wall, tentacool with a base 80 spatk/70 atk , water and poison stab, plus ice coverage, wailmer is a mixed attacker with base 90 in both atk stats with water stab, ground and ice coverage,Wingull has base 95 spatk, flying and water stab, with ice coverage.Wingull has best stab hits decently hard is found at the beginning of the game and learns hms fly and surf, has good defense but average spdef (70) and hp (74) and no speed, wailmer has a ton of hp (170) and that’s it, it’s found very late, water spout is cool though.I would say wingull, wingull has best spatk pretty good defense and good spdef and hp tentacool is faster and has really good spdef, so good as well.

All of these are good for a nuzlocke, and still even if your Pokémon don’t die if they faint, it’s still annoying, first Wingull is circumstantial, Drizzle isn’t that good if you picked the fire starter and if you picked the grass one (solar beam is weaker in rain) so we can cross that off, Wailord is bulky so you decide between Tentacruel and it, Tentacruel can rapid spin ,toxic ,toxic spikes ,etc.
