Who is a good bulky Water-type for in-game in US/UM?
Can someone list some good bulky water types? This is just for 6v6 battles against random trainers. I’m looking for an alternative for my Milotic. Also, please do not suggest legendary Pokemon. I do not want to use them. Please only suggest Pokemon that have at least one of the following:
Since I constantly rotate my team around so I can enjoy my using my favorite Pokemon, I need an alternative general purpose bulky water, one that can easily be fit to all sorts of teams. If possible, kindly include ev spread for it that does not need to be changed even if I change the rest of my team

Toxapex @ Black SludgeAbility: RegeneratorEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature- Scald- Recover- Haze- Toxic Spikes
Toxapex is your main option for a bulky water. With 50/152/142 Bulk, Water/Poison typing, and Regenerator, Pex can be a great defensive Water-Type for you.
Other niche options:
Slowbro @ LeftoversAbility: RegeneratorEVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 164 SpDCalm Nature- Scald- Slack Off- Ice Beam- Flamethrower
Slowbro is more of a pivot, but it can be a nice check for a few threats if you struggle with something like Medicham or Keldeo.
Gastrodon @ LeftoversAbility: Storm DrainEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature- Scald- Recover- Earthquake- Toxic
Water/Ground gives Gastrodon a small niche for walling a few specific targets and that’s mostly it.
Overall, I’d say try Toxapex first. It could be really great for you. The others mentioned are more specialized so only use them if you really need what they provide.
Of course Blastoise is a good optionBlastoiseRelaxed/calm natureEV spread- 252 def,252 sp DefItem- LeftoversMoves1) Earthquake (coverage)2)Ice beam (coverage)3) Scald (STAB,Burn)4)Body Slam (parlaysis)Change Body Slam with Iron Defense or Rest or any move if ur choice
