What's the best Unova starter for a nuzlocke? So no HA, egg moves or tutor moves bc I'm playing White 1

Water is always best for a nuzlocke. And I'm saying that as a grassfag.

Pig because it's balky and fairies don't exist yet

Just because of the resistances? I mean, it makes sense but I feel like Emboar is tempting for the bulk. Also considering i'm gonna be regularly battling a friend so that may be necessary.
Whichever one you like the best. Elsewise you're killing the spirit of a Nuzlocke run.

If your playing the first games get water so you're more likely to get something with super effective against grass to make the first gym easier

Emboar bulk
Samurott overall. Serperior has no movepool (though lategame Coil sweeps are handy) while Emboar is slow and pretty frail. Water seems to be harder to get good Pokemon for in this game compared to usual, and there are several other decent Fire and Grass types.
Picking Tepig does help against Lenora though, who can be dangerous.

caves full of rock types and zubat and routes populated by birds generally makes water the best choice for general survival and ease of grinding
