Good Water Types?

[SilverJakler]

I just beat Kiki and I really want a good Water Type on my team, but I don't know who to get. I already have a Carvanha, but I was hoping to get that Mudkip that's in the Wastlands. I've also heard that Azumarill is a good option, and Seismitoads as well. I'm not going back to previous episodes, so Gyarados is out of the running. Anyone got any ideas?

Crawdaunt seems to be good on paper (haven't tested it out yet, but I will eventually). You can find it by smashing rocks on the beach.

Lanturn was a very good choice, but it was replaced by Floatzel (who isn't too terrible).

I don't know how Ludicolo performs in Reborn, but it's definitely a fun choice if you're willing to experiment.

Mudkip can be found in the wasteland which is a great choice if you want a Water/Ground type. I've used one and it's actually quite good.

The only other good water type available soon would be Clawncher, but you won't be able to get him for quite a while. I'm sure Esteian or someone would be able to confirm if any of these pokemon are good or bad in the game.

Kingdea, Quagsire, and Azumarill immediately come to mind.

Azumarill (A police officer will trade you an Azurill for a growlithe in the police station in Jasper Ward)

Quagsire (Wooper and Quagsire can both be found on Azurine Island)

Kingdra (Horsea can be caught with a good rod in Ametrine mountain, and %5 of the time they will hold a Dragon Scale to evolve it into Kingdra)

I'm not sure if you can breed shell smash on to Barbacale, but I'd recommend it. In fact, let me check that. Brb...

EDIT: Binalce, the pre-evo, gets shell smash as lvl 1 move, so that's a plus.

But, like I said, I recommend Barbacale.

Even easier, just use a Heart Scale with the move re-learner.

Yep. ^^ I edited it with what I found...

[SilverJakler]

Welp, took a while, but I finally got a decent Binacle. So I'll train her and see how it goes.

Considering Heart Scales are a rare commodity, with all the rare amount of mining rocks that exist in game as-is, I would advise against that unless absolutely necessary

[Deleted User]

They're really not rare, you can find them on Luvdisc, in mining rocks, with the item finder and in pokeball items. You should be able to come across plenty of them. I'm assuming that Binacle doesn't have it at level 0 and it's a relearn only move?

[squirmey]

there is also seaking empoleon if you want something that can takes hits

[The FiRE of AcE]

Can never go wrong with Empoleon. Azumarill is a wrecking ball and will serve you well (you must have Huge Power). Clawncher is great and can be found by fishing (Good Rod) the waters of Ametrine (I think...).

And of course as mentioned, Mudkip, the Team f'ing Player.

Evolving Zuzu (Azumarill): Do I need a water-stone? I'm on level 30 and it's getting annoying. She has Huge Power, but at l25 her attack was under 20.

[Sheep]

Uhhhhh no? Firstly Azumarill doesn't evolve. Secondly if you're talking about Azurill then it evolves when you level it up with high friendship. Thirdly huge power doubles the attack stat but doesn't show it on the actual stat, it's effective attack stat is twice what it shows.

[alaneapen]

For azumarill, make sure you evolve zuzu into marill, take it to the salon and reset the date so you can go many times in one day. Once it evolves and if it is female, breed aqua jet on to it. My aqua jet azumarill is a monster.

[Damashii]

God Damned Quagsire, dude!

[Smoke]

Quagsire has a flaw in grass-types having a 4x advantage. I recommend a Seaking, Kingdra, Crawdaunt, or Sharpedo.

Yeah but grass is literally it's only weakness. Not to be rude, but unless you're really bad, it's one hell of a wall. Especially if you can breed recover on to it.

[alaneapen]

Ludicolo is available through the coral ward encounter on rainy days with a pokesnax. Sure will come in handy vs Amaria unless freeze dry.
