I'm doing an Emerald vanilla run because I never played the original RSE and wanted to give it a try.

Is this little guy usable ingame?
I heard it's somewhat viable in later gens, but here seems like the lack of Quiver Dance, strong moves and phys/special split really hurts him.
Experiences with him? Is Water Sport useful at all?

And why not, ask/talk about pokemon ingame if you want.
