Terapagos, the Fuecoco line, the Sandile line, Stunfisk, etc. There's a whole bunch.

Eelektross line going by the dex, and tynamo showed up underwater in one of those “the world of Pokemon” movie introductions
Dragonite line
Dragalge
Its pal dhelmise, which is arguably the apex predator of the ocean
Fug and the latis learn dive
Probably some more too

Stunfisk is also in this situation. Could have easily gotten water absorb, but the literal fish is weak to water, with a useless ability that is redundant with its typing.

Coconut crabs are weird since they lay their eggs and spend their early lives in the ocean, but once they mature they crawl out onto land and never return

Then Crabominable makes it even weirder since yeti crabs are a deep sea species

Because I was thinking about them spraying themselves in water. Fun fact, they're the closest relative to manatees and dugongs. I guess they don't count as hippos.

Aren't all salamanders aquatic? They're amphibians. Second fun fact, axolotl is just a immature salamander. Now I want an axolotl regional charmander.

It's honestly hard to justify other than it being a Fossil (and fossils then to be found on sedimentary rock which are formed thanks to water moving sediment deposits)
Kind of a stretch imo

The water buffalo is amphibious, I don't remember why but it needs to get wet constantly.

Simipour is probably a reference to Seamonkeys or a variety of macaques that learned to dive.

I wouldn't count the Charmander line as being based on an aquatic animal just because one of its members has Mander in its name. Salamander is also just an archaic way to refer to dragons, its part of were we get the term gerrymandering from. Charmander is categorized as the Lizard pokemon, and its Japanese name (Hitokage) contains the word for lizard as its most prominment part.

but salamanders are associated with fire, not lizards

they often hide in damp logs, when people tossed logs onto a fire, the heat would drive salamanders out, making it look like they emerged from the flames, this gave rise to the illusion that salamanders were born in or immune to fire

Nta but lizards (in the most general sense possible) aren't associated with fire.
Sure (european) dragons ARE known for their fire breath and hoarding treasure but that doesn't apply to something like a crocodilian for example
The salamander imaginary is spot on tho

There’s nothing in the line resembling a salamander. It’s a baby dragon that grows wings and becomes a standard heraldic European dragon as it matures.

probably because at the the time the Ekans line was the only snake pokemon, so they used it as a representative of all snakes (including water snakes) rather than just cobras. Cobras can swim but it's not something they make a habit of.
