Tentacruel or Milotic for my in-game ruby team?

Question

Hi. I'm kinda new to Pokemon and this is my second Pokemon game ever. I want a water type for my team in ruby so I can use it for surf. My favourite ones are milotic and tentacruel so I wanted to use one of them. But I dont know which one to use. Both of them are great but I want only one. So which one should I use?

Answer 1

Tentacruel, no contest. It can be found easily on most water routes, is fast and specially defensive, and it can learn Cut, Surf, Dive, and Waterfall, making it a versatile HM slave. Comparatively, it's extremely difficult to fish up a Feebas, let alone evolve it. Milotic will waste time when you could be playing the game so much faster.

Tentacruel is very clearly the winner, due to ease of access and the HMs it can learn.

Hope I helped!
