Walrein: does the bulk make up for the Ice typing’s weaknesses?
Walrein has solid bulk and the Ice/Water typing has fewer weaknesses than pure Ice. Is Walrein actually a decent defensive pick, or does it get outclassed by other Water and Ice types?

Kyogre: the rain king or just an overpowered legend?
Between Drizzle and a monstrous Special Attack stat, Kyogre can carry entire rain teams. Is Kyogre the best Water-type of all time, or are there other Water Pokémon that deserve that title?

Milotic: beautiful and actually useful?
Milotic is often called one of the prettiest Pokémon, and it’s also a surprisingly bulky special wall. Does Milotic still hold its own, especially with Competitive or Marvel Scale?

Swampert: the best Hoenn starter, or am I biased?
The Water/Ground typing means Swampert has only one weakness (Grass, at 4x), and the bulk is great. Honestly it’s my pick for the best of the Hoenn starters. Who else runs Swampert, and do you prefer the standard or Mega set?

Dewgong — does it have any real use these days?
Dewgong was always one of those Pokémon I caught and never really used long-term. Does the Water/Ice typing actually hold up in any format, or is it mostly outclassed by other Ice-types now?

Piplup — most underrated Water starter or is Empoleon overrated?
Following up on the earlier Empoleon thread — where does Piplup as a line rank against the other Water starters overall? Feels divisive compared to how universally loved the little penguin design is.

Starmie — still a solid Water/Psychic pick this many gens later?
Starmie used to be an absolute menace back in Gen 1 with its typing and speed. Curious if it's held up at all competitively or if it's mostly a nostalgia pick against the newer Water types now.

Gyarados — Mega or standard, which do you actually run?
Gyarados has been a staple since Gen 1 but curious if people still prefer running it as a standard Water/Flying sweeper or if Mega Gyarados' Dark typing is just objectively better now.

Blastoise — does it hold up as a starter final evo anymore?
Blastoise was my go-to as a kid but curious how it stacks up against newer Water-type starters competitively. Still solid bulk, or has it been passed by at this point?

Vaporeon — best water-type Eeveelution, fight me
Vaporeon's bulk and typing make it one of my favorite Eeveelutions to actually use in a real team, not just for the Dex. Curious if others agree or if Water/Ice types elsewhere outclass it now.
