Muddy water or surf for my stunfisk?

Question

Which is a better move and why?

Comments

wil think about BA later

Answer 1

Ok,first.Let's review the two moves.

Muddy Water-Special
Power-95
Accuracy-85
PP 10(max 16)

Muddy Water has the same base power as Surf.But it has less accuracy
and PP.But it does have 30% chance of lowering accuracy.

Surf-Special
Power-95
Accuracy-100
PP-15 (max 24)

While Surf has more accuracy and PP.But doesn't have a side-effect.

Conclusion:I would go with Surf because of it's reliability.(But I
wouldn't go with it in double battles.)

hope I helped

Why wouldn't you go Surf in double battles? They both hit both Pokemon.

Then pair up with a Pokemon with Water Absorb :P

Answer 2

I would suggest using Surf over Muddy Water.
Surf and Muddy Water have the exact same typing and BP, but Surf has higher accuracy and more PP. Even though Muddy Water has the slight chance of dropping a stat of accuracy, the chance of it hitting ruins it. Go for Surf.
