Question says it all.

Neither. Use the Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage.
Before red gyarados
@Giga-Blade X All Water-type moves are special in this gen and Gyarados is a physical attacker.
@Pkbeam I think Tentacool is better, because it's easier to find.
@Blaziken That's a definite hindrance to it, but it still functions well as an HM slave, with Surf, Strength, Whirlpool, and Waterfall.
@Giga it is night in my area
Um... ok? What does this change?
That i can get wopper
Then it depends on whether you want Tentacool's ability to use Cut or Wooper's to use Flash (both can use Whirlpool and Surf, and neither should be used in battle).
I am gonna use gyarados as an hm slave i have bellsprout too
If you're going to get Gyarados, then why do you need Tentacool/Wooper?
To surf over to him
imms use wooper cuz of water stab early on
you can still post an answer

Best answer

You don't need either if you plan to use Gyarados as an HM slave. If you do need a substitute before Gyarados, use Tentacool. Cut is more useful than Flash, and Tentacool is easier to obtain than Wooper.

Hope I helped!

But I have bellsprout which learns cut and flash and I needed water type STAB
No you don't. The last major trainer in the game specializing in Fire/Rock/Ground types is Blaine, who is a pushover anyways. Other trainers with such types can be taken out by your other team member, most likely. Surf is the only Water move you need after you get Gyarados.
I have gyarados now,so yeah
