Which do I use, /vp/?

Golisopod.

>>30307512
Surskit

>>30307512
Both....

But if you really have to pick, golisopod is a total powerhouse, his ability gets annoying on occasion but he can dish out some serious damage

>>30307512
Golisopod all the way

>tfw they're both my favorite designs since Gen 3
>tfw using both on the same competitive team is a bad idea because of identical weaknesses

Golisopod is more solid as a bug while araquanid is more useful as a water type. If you really want both together work.

I had the same issue on my team.

Ended up going Araquanid and I loved it.
Golisopod is all raw power, and he's more bug than water. Araquanid gives more coverage and his ability is pretty nice since it basically lets you keep your fire resistance.

ALso read somewhere that it makes it's water moves stronger on top of stab, but I don't know if that was true or not.

Depends on what you want.

Golisopod has 140 defense and 125 attack, and access to a bunch of priority moves like aqua jet and sucker punch. First Impression is gonna be your ace, but remember: Golisopod is NOT your lead. Use Golisopod as a cleaner; he picks off weaker opponents. Leech Life gives you recovery, and Liquidation hits hard. Remember how Emergency Exit functions; it can be amazing when used to your advantage.

Araquanid is kinda the opposite. It has base 132 special defense, and we all know by now the amazing third effect of Water Bubble. Liquidation is gonna be your main move, since it gets to 170 Base Power with Water Bubble. Leech life for recovery, Poison Jab for fairies, you get the idea. This thing eats special attacks like nothing, and can even take resisted physical attacks, too.

Take your pick, OP.

Araquanid is the first Bug type to actually resist Fire thanks to its ability.
