A good Water type replacement would be Gyarados. It can hit extremely hard, excellent for in-game.

Gyarados @ Mystic Water / Black GlassesAbility: Intimidate- Aqua Tail / Waterfall- Earthquake- Crunch- Ice Fang / Stone Edge

A good Psychic type replacement would be Alakazam if you can trade or Espeon if you can’t. They’re both excellent special attackers, and your team has a noticeable lack of those.

Alakazam @ anythingAbility: Synchronize- Psychic- Energy Ball- Dazzling Gleam- Shadow Ball

Espeon @ Twisted SpoonAbility: Synchronize- Psychic- Dazzling Gleam- Shadow Ball- Grass Knot

Alternatively, Starmie is another Water/Psychic type, and it’s essentially a frailer, more offensive Slowbro.

Starmie @ anythingAbility: Natural Cure- Surf- Ice Beam- Thunderbolt- Psychic

Hope I helped!

I’m assuming this is for an in-game play through.I’d go withGyarados.•it’s easily obtainable, as it can be obtained with a high encounter rate from fishing almost anywhere•It’s got the awesome ability Intimidate that lowers the opponent’s attack•it’s got a solid 125 attack stat, and also decent bulk in 95 HP, 100 SpD, and 79 Defense (the opponent’s attack is lowered by Intimidate anyways)•it’s got pretty good typing, being weak to 2 types, resistant to 5, and immune to one.

and for a set:Gyarados@ Waterium-ZAbility:Intimidate•Dragon Dance•Aqua Tail•Crunch•Ice FangHope this helps!

I know this is a bit old and already have answers but I’d like to include my own answer

I looked onMarrilandand saw that three of your Pokemon are weak to Fire, two are weak to Rock, two are weak to Bug, two are weak to Flying and two are weak to Ice. The best dual-type combination that can handle those weaknesses is Water-Rock.

The only Water-Rock type Pokemon you can find in theAlolan PokedexisTirtouga/Carracosta.

Therefore, I will include a suggested moveset for Turtouga/Carracosta

Carracosta @ Mystic Water / Hard Rock (boosts the power of your STAB)

Ability: Sturdy

Crunch - a strong move that has a chance of lowering the opposing Pokemon’s Defense

Aqua Tail - STAB

Rock Slide - STAB

Bulldoze - strong move that covers Electric-type weakness

Carracosta has a solid Attack stat and a great Defense stat making it a bulky physical attacker. It’s slow but for in-game, it doesn’t really need to rely on speed, just attack and win.

Orif you don’t want to use Carracosta, your next best bet would be a type combination ofWater-Fighting.

A good Water-fighting Pokemon would bePoliwrath

Poliwrath @ Mystic Water / Black Belt (boosts the power of your STAB)

Ability: Water Absorb

Submission / Brick Break - STAB

Body Slam - strong Normal-type move, has chance of paralysis

Bulldoze - covers Electric-type weakness

Waterfall - STAB

Poliwrath has solid defenses of 90/95/90. It’s Attack stat is also good and is a bit slow but again, not really important for in-game use.

Hope I helped!
