Water pokemon ?

Question

Which water pokemon and moveset is best against platinum elite four ?
Floatzel, Gastrodon, Gyarados or any other post-national dex pokemon?

Answer 1

You cannot get Crawduant or wailren before the national pokedex. Empoleon is not as good as torterra starter wise. Floatzel is great becuase it can out speed Cynthia's Garchomp and kill it with Ice beam/punch. Gyrados is cool but not very good for this elite for becuase Garchomp can out speed it before it can Ice fang it.

I used Floatzel and won

Thanks dude.and gastrodon

---

What moveset and item should I use?

---

Icicle plate Ice punch, Waterfall, Brick break, Bulk up

He said POST National Dex, not PRE National Dex. He is able to get these guys after. As for Empoleon being worse than orterra, I hate to break it to ya but you're in the minority there.

Answer 2

Well, GREAT is Empoleon (Aaron, Bertha, Flint)
Other good options are:
Walrein
Crawdaunt

Empoleon:
Surf
Ice Beam
Drill Peck
Earthquake / Flash Cannon

Answer 3

The first time I went through the Elite Four, I had a Golduck. It has
Surf-Good vs Bertha and Flint
Ice Beam-Godd vs Bertha, Aaron, and Cynthia's Garchomp
Hydro Pump-same as surf
Zen Headbutt-generally a good move
