Submission Or Hypnosis on Poliwhirl? (to be Poliwrath)?

I want to save Hypnosis for Clair’s Kingdra but I feel I need a Fighting type STAB. The Other Moves Are Surf, Strength and Ice Punch. It has no nature seeing as I’m Playing Crystal, its attacking Stats are Both 39. he/she (guess I should have checked o.O) is my best team member so this is really important =p

It depends partly on what other Pokemon you are using. Assuming you have no other Fighting types on your team, I recommend Submission, because the Fighting type is useful against so many different types (Ice, Normal, Dark, Rock, and Steel). Hypnosis can still be useful, though, just be prepared to miss a lot.

Hypnosis because it is unexpected even though its accuracy is low

Hypnosis in my opinion. Id much rather put the enemy asleep so I know I wont take any damage….where as with submission youre not only dealing damage but it hits you with recoil if I’m not mistaken
