Wishiwashi, Toxapex, or Araquanid?

Wishixapanid

Here, I'll give you a pick in-game analysis.

Wishiwashi is broken in-game. It sweeps everything with it's stats at the time you get it, and eventually gets so far ahead level-wise, it outspeeds most shit as well.


Araquanid is decent, middle of the road as far as water-types go. It doesn't get good physical STAB until pretty late, but you can usually get by on special STAB, even with an adamant nature. Overall pretty good.

Toxapex is alright on an in-game run.
It survives everything, but it's boring as fuck to use. Battles last forever, since it can't do damage itself. It's good if you're into stall mechanics, otherwise avoid it.

Toxapex

>Wishiwashi

Slow as molasses and shit HP, but probably the best choice in-game.

>Toxapex

Pain in the ass to catch. Pretty good if you manage to get one, but requires poison infliction in order to deal decent damage. Super tanky.

>Araquanid

Easy to use right off the bat. Can support with screens, heal with Leech Life, trap with Infestation, and burn opponents with Scald, but doesn't truly shine until you get to the move relearner and teach it Liquidation, which is practically endgame.

Personally, I like Araquanid, but Wishiwashi is by far the most OP and easy to use.

Toxapex carried most of my totem fights for me because I can just Toxic turn one and stall out the rest.

i did something like this ear;y game, but with curse gastly

Toxapex

Baneful Bunker or Toxic? Seen good arguments for both.

>>30435501
Toxic is better

Baneful Bunker is crap because the most effective moves against Toxapex generally don't make contact. It's not good like the other gimmick protects like Chesnaught and Aegislash get because Aegislash's has a massive penalty for hitting it and Chesnaught's goes well with Leech Seed.

Maybe if you didn't get merciless with venoshock and scald.

This. I made sure he was the one to finish off the final pokemon in the championship battle, even if he kept trying to run away. That little nigger needed some confidence and I'll be damned if he isn't going to get the final victory.

I used Araquanid in my in-game team, and it was pretty good without being too OP.

>>30435682

Yeah, but since G-Pod isn't specially-oriented, so they aren't good for much.

If G-Pod could learn Ice Shard, though... imagine the possibilities.

kek. Special orientation or not, it lets him cover that flying weaknes.

>>30435812

Rock Slide does it better.

Both water bugs were the stars of my team. Of course both Olivia fights were hard, but that was part of the fun.

Wishiwashi never outspeeds anything. Yeah, a lot of Alolan Pokemon are already pretty slow, but we're talking base speed 30 with school form. You would have to be absurdly overleveled with it to outspeed even semi-consistently.

why that thing has swords dance I'll never know but I got an ice fang/poison fang one with strong jaws and it smashed things. It also wasn't slow as fuck either.

Only problem is that Sucker Punch melts it if you don't have dazzling
