I would say Lapras would pwn for you, but of course, you can't really get one until Victory Road or something. Unless you trade =3

Definately go for a dual type though. What you pick also depends on your team. My Rule: Do NOT get 2 of the same type, even if it is only half of the same. Get as many different types as possible.

Well Kyogre hands down is the best "Water" pokemon, but if u dont want ubers then id go with Golduck hes learns hydro cannon and can learn tm 29 (psychic) and no pun intended he blows Swamperts stats out of the water. yet Garyados is a fair match.

i would use a wailord which i used because it can take j=hits like a champ

I would go with gyarados. He has quite a nice movepool and he is a very sturdy, reliablepokemon In-game. Be careful of electric types when using him though becasue they tear him up.

I guess Gyarados is like the strongest water pokemon you can get at the early part of any of the versions I guess.

I'd still say Milotic is the best for me. It has mirror coat and recovery. Tentacruel is also good. I like it's clear body effect. Repeatedly missing your target all because of smoke screen can be annoying.

thanks everyone.... now the best sort of grass pokemon...I think I've decided.

Ludicolo may not be the BEST Grass Pokemon, but he definitely has the LEAST amount of weaknesses, and he is Dual Grass/Water Type.

Purely because noboy's said it yet:
Magikarp.

get a swampert since it only has one weakness.

Just for the record, Swampert has 2 weaknesses. Fighting and Grass.

I forgot about STARMIE. Jimmy31428 on youtube has one that knows thunderbolt. Starmie is another awesome one.

Oh and The best grass (2 of them atleast) types would be Roserade and Torterra.

Ground isnt weak to Fighting. Just looked it up in the Poketech.

Qwilfish. It's 2nd generation. You know you like second generation pokemon.

EDIT: Kind of old. Must've clicked onto the wrong page.

If you are talking about before the Pokemon League, then I would say Gyrados. He would probably be better for Wi-fi too considering that he isn't uber (If you have an uber in your Wi-fi team, then your battle is often canceled). If you don't want Gyrados, then Starmie is another good option.

i say if you don't have plakia do this combo in double battles teach gyrados stone edge earthquake aqua tail and toxic have a straptor earthquake you'rre dead but palka is much better once you get him!
