Question

Mine has the ability Water Absorb. It knows:

Surf: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, used to deal with Rock types.

Aqua Ring: Heals Mantine. Makes Poison and Burn almost useless.

Air Cutter: Good chance for critical hit, STAB.

Swift: Decent power, doesn't miss.

Answer 1

YOU FORGOT, AGAIN, AN OBVIOUS MOVE. WHERE IS ICE BEAM? I would replace swift for it, its a practically worthless move without STAB. Id say add earthquake, but its not good with mantines incredibly low attack.

Comments

I forgot ICE BEAM!! How could I forget Ice Beam? It IS my FAVORITE move.

Answer 2

Ice Beam-Super effective to dragon types,which water does not do much damage to.

Air Cutter-Chance for a critical hit,STAB.Keep it!

Surf-STAB,good power,good accuacy,deals with Rock types.Keep it!

Earthquake-As Swampert said,it's not good with Mantines low attack.Try EV training it.Deals with Electric types.
