3 minute read

I know that water type pokémon are very scarce in the unova region, so I imagined that maybe post game had some better ones.Does anyone know a good one?

Samurott is a great starter, and helps a bunch against many gyms. It has a varied movepool, and can be physical, special, or mixed.

Samurott @ Mystic WaterAbility: Torrent- Surf / Aqua Tail (HM)- Ice Beam (TM found in Giant Chasm/Forest Area)- Slash (Learned at lv. 36)- Aqua Jet (Learned at lv. 33)

With this moveset, it can do well against foes like Clay, Drayden/Iris, Shauntal’s Golurk, Chandelure, and Drifblim, Grimsley’s Krookodile, Caitlin’s Sigilyph, Alder’s Volcarona and Druddigon, and many more.

Swanna can be found as a Ducklett on Driftveil Drawbridge. It’s another potential Special, Physical, or mixed attacker. It can make a great HM slave and asset to your team.

Swanna @ Mystic Water / Sharp BeakAbility: Any- Fly (HM)- Roost (Learned at lv. 30)- Surf (HM)- Ice Beam (TM found in Giant Chasm/Forest Area)

With this moveset, it can do well against the same things as Samurott, with the additons of foes such as Marshall, Alder’s Volcarona, Druddigon and Accelgor, Grimsley’s Scrafty, and Burgh.

Seismetoad is a nice physical attacker, but it doesn’t have a great physical movepool. It can be found as a Tympole in Pinwheel Forest.

Seiemstoad @ Soft Sand / Mystic WaterAbility: Any- Surf (HM)- Earthquake (TM found in Relic Castle)- Drain Punch (Learned at lv. 44)- Ice Beam (TM found in Giant Chasm/Forest Area)

With this moveset, it can do well against foes like Clay, Drayden/Iris, Shauntal’s Golurk, Chandelure, and Drifblim, Grimsley’s Krookodile and Bisharp, Caitlin’s Sigilyph, and Alder’s Volcarona, Bouffalant and Druddigon.

Jellicent is a bulky, hard-hitting special attacker. It can be found as a Frillish on Routes 4, 17, 18, Driftveil City, and P2 Laboratory.

Jellicent @ Mystic Water / Spell TagAbility: Any- Surf (HM)- Shadow Ball (TM found in Relic Castle)- Ice Beam (TM found in Giant Chasm/Forest Area)- Psychic / Energy Ball / Sludge Wave (TMs)

With this moveset, it can do well against foes like Clay, Drayden/Iris, Shauntal, Grimsley’s Krookodile, Caitlin, and Alder’s Volcarona and Druddigon.

Another terrifying physical attacker. Carracosta can be obtained as a Tirtouga in Nacrene City.

Carracosta @ Hard Stone / Mystic WaterAbility: Any- Shell Smash (learned at lv. 40)- Rock Slide (Learned at lv. 51)- Crunch (Learned at lv. 21)- Aqua Tail (Learned at lv. 45)

With this moveset, Carracosta can do well against Clay, Skyla, Elesa’s Emolga, Caitlin, Shauntal, and Alder’s Accelgor, Vanilluxe, and Volcarona.

Simipour can be found as a Panpour in the Dreamyard, Lostlorn Forest, and Pinwheel Forest. To evolve it, you need a Water Stone. Water stone locations arehere.

Simipour @ Mystic WaterAbility: Any- Scald (Learned at lv. 22 as a Panpour)- Ice Beam (TM found in Giant Chasm/Forest Area)- Rock Slide (TM found in Mistralton Cave)- Brick Break (TM obtained near the Pokecenter in Icirrus City)

Basculin can be fished up/otherwise encountered on Routes 1, 3, 6, 11, 14, Dragonspiral Tower, Abundant Shrine, Giant Chasm, Driftveil City, Lostlorn Forest, Wellspring Cave, Striaton City, Challenger’s Cave, Victory Road, Village Bridge, and Pinwheel Forest.

Basculin @ Mystic WaterAbility: Any- Crunch (Learned at lv. 24)- Aqua Tail (Learned at lv. 28)- Double-Edge (Learned at lv. 36)- Aqua Jet (Learned at lv. 13)

Note: Alomomola also exists, but it has 40 base Special Attack, and any physical moveset it would have would consist of Pound, Aqua Jet, Double-Slap, Wake-Up Slap, Waterfall, Dive, Frustration, Return, and Facade. It can be a good support Pokemon, though.

Alomomola @ LeftoversAbilty: Any- Facade (TM found on Route 8)- Wish (Learned at lv. 37)- Toxic (TM found on Route 17)- Light Screen (TM bought at Nimbasa City Pokecenter)

Hope I helped.

OshawottAvailability: Starter, Nuvema Town.Typing: Water typing is good everywhere aside from Elesa and Drayden/Iris.Stats: Oshawott’s line has mixed attackers with average Speed and decent bulk.Movepool: Oshawott upgrades from Water Gun to Razor Shell at level 17 to Surf later on. The line also gets Grass Knot, Dig, and Return as mid-game TMs, and Megahorn can be relearned as Samurott.Major Battles: Water beats Burgh’s Dwebble, Grimsley’s Kroododile, and Shauntal’s Golurk and Chandelure. Caitlin save Sigilyph is handled with Megahorn, and the line can beat Ghetsis’s Seismitoad and N’s Carracosta with Grass Knot. You can TM Blizzard for Drayden/Iris, but it is expensive.Additional Comments: Oshawott is the best starter to pick, as its Water typing and strong moves make it more consistent in major fights than the other starters.
