Who should be my final team member in SS?

Question

My team right now is Quilava, Aerodactyl, Glaceon, Scizor and Rhyhorn. I need a usable surfer, which is why I currently have a Tentacool that I'm planning to replace. The water Pokemon/surfer cannot share a type with any of my team members(unless it's Garchomp) as I want variety. I currently have 4 badges and am in Olivine City

And yes, this question is allowed, I checked ;)

Poliwrath?

Possibly, but remember it could also be a Pokemon that learns surf

If you can trade anything into your SS game, then you should get a Kyogre.

---

I can trade a level 85 Kyogre to my SS, but that would be broken

---

In that case, what would be not broken?

---

Anything that is not a legendary or mythical pokemon

The best non-legendary non-mythical is probably Starmie because it can outspeed and one-shot a lot of stuff with water/psychic/electric/ice coverage.

Answer 1

Starmie is probably the best because it's fast, good at using surf, and can cover a lot of stuff with strong coverage moves.

Comments

He'll pretty much have to settle for only 3 usable combat moves because he'll also need Waterfall, which is garbage on Starmie.
But I agree, if you want a Surf slave that can also throw some punches, Starmie is the way to go.

Answer 2

I know it shares the flying type with aerodactyl, but gyarados sweeps practically the entire game due to getting dragon dance. my moveset is Dragon dance surf waterfall and ice fang.

you can trade tms?

---

Yes. Even if you can't, you can trade a Pokemon to another game, teach all the TMs there, and trade it back.

ok if you can do that, then starmie is better.
