Help me out, /vp/. I'm conflicted.

I want to choose Swampert because he was always a bro to me as a kid, and that Mega form is the shit.

However, Hoenn has some other great options for a Water type. We have Milotic, Walrien, Crawdunt, Sharpedo..

Help a friend out. What's your favorite option?

Honestly, I'd wait until we saw more of the new Hoenn dex before I made any decisions.

In Hoenn, my go-to surfer is definitely Sharpedo. That high-power Crunch for Tate & Liza and Phoebe is one of the best Dark moves in the game.

Hoenn has a lot of water HMs, so I'm going

Exploud for Surf
Relicanth for Dive/Waterfall

Consider grabbing a Normal type to do something similar.

Sidebar: Anybody have good Relicanth fanart? I don't have any images of this glorious ancient fish.

Thank fuck. Nobody is falling for your shit, GF. I'm not buying ORAS and neither will the vast majority of this board. We know better. I hope you enjoy bankruptcy, Shitendo. Enjoy seeing your sales plummet as more people boycott your games. Anyone who was delusional enough not to sell their 3D$ and Pii U by this point are the biggest fucking shills in existence..

If you just want something that can get surf get linoone.

Swampert is also my favorite gen3 water pokemon, but is not my favorite starter. the other water pokemons of hoenn that come close are surskit and relicanth. why not get a relicanth OP?

For a full all-Hoenn team, I'd do something like this:

>Swampwert
>Cacturne/Shiftry
>Medicham
>Altaria
>Aggron
>Camerupt/Torkoal

It's not that I want something that can surf, but I want a water type, and all of these are viable options.

I didn't think of Relicanth, honestly.

PSS, Amie, and Super Training were all in the ORAS trailer exactly as they were in XY, so I'd imagine so.

Somewhat off topic, but damn I am digging the art of that Swampert.

Pokemon designs are really weird. Very subtley proportional differences seem to really make a huge impact on the way the 'mon looks. That, and the Sugimori art for M-Swampert just look like they flow much better than the in game model.

You read my mind with Cacturne/Altaria/Camerupt.

Thanks for all of the suggestions though

No prob. I'm glad to see that both Cacturne and Shiftry actually have movepools now. Not to mention that Altaria is probably your best Hoenn flyer (except maybe Salamence, but Altaria's a lot more accessible). Camerupt may be redundant with Swampwert's Ground-typing, but it does have better attacking stats than Torkoal.

I'm transferring over a shiny Milotic. I'm still debating on choosing Treecko or Mudkip, though.

I ran through with my nigga Lanturn from then on

Slap Surf on your Linoone.
Put the other two Water HMs on an Azumarill.

It's mostly down to personal taste for me. I already know I won't be using either of their Megas, so it all comes down to what I like best. I'll probably go with Mudkip, Swampert is pretty damn cool.
