I've just got this game and I'm stuck on a little thing. I don't really know what the best water pokemon to have is. I've already got my starter pokemon Chimchar (which has evolved). At the moment I've got Gyarados. What do you think? Is the the best one to have or is it another pokemon? I'd like to hear everyones views and opinions and why you recommend that pokemon. Thanks!

Well palkia is the best water in the game but is only obtainable after the Pokemon Leauge. I think Gyrados.

palkia wish's he could be half the legend Kyogre is.

Can I ask why you think Gyarados? (its really important)

Gyarados is fast, strong and has intimidate which is helpful at times. Also it learns a strong variety of attacks (dragon attacks for example on top of water ones).

kingdra <3

<3 Golduck but that's more for the Zen Headbutt than the water powers

I'd Say Milotic but you can't get one at your part of the game so other than Milotic i Guess Poliwrath, Blatoise, And Vaporeon are good too.

I say kyogre.

kyogre will give you a

Gyarados is the best thing in OU. Swampert follows. The first is offensive, where the second is more defensive support.

For what you're looking for, go with gyarados. He's very strong.

Gyrados and Swampert. And Palkia is btter than Kyorge because of the dragon capabilities. But Kyorge is a solid water type still.

Starmie all the way lol.

You could use a tentacruel. It's a double type. Or a vaporeon. Once you get farther in the game, get a swampert since it only has one weakness.
