Should I use Wooper or Tentacool in Pokemon Silver?

Question says it all.

Neither. Use the Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage.

---

Before red gyarados

---

@Giga-Blade X All Water-type moves are special in this gen and Gyarados is a physical attacker.

---

@Pkbeam I think Tentacool is better, because it's easier to find.
@Blaziken That's a definite hindrance to it, but it still functions well as an HM slave, with Surf, Strength, Whirlpool, and Waterfall.

@Giga it is night in my area

---

Um... ok? What does this change?

---

That i can get wopper

---

Then it depends on whether you want Tentacool's ability to use Cut or Wooper's to use Flash (both can use Whirlpool and Surf, and neither should be used in battle).

---

I am gonna use gyarados as an hm slave i have bellsprout too

---

If you're going to get Gyarados, then why do you need Tentacool/Wooper?

---

To surf over to him

---

imms use wooper cuz of water stab early on

---

you can still post an answer

Answer 1

You don't need either if you plan to use Gyarados as an HM slave. If you do need a substitute before Gyarados, use Tentacool. Cut is more useful than Flash, and Tentacool is easier to obtain than Wooper.

Hope I helped!

But I have bellsprout which learns cut and flash and I needed water type STAB

No you don't. The last major trainer in the game specializing in Fire/Rock/Ground types is Blaine, who is a pushover anyways. Other trainers with such types can be taken out by your other team member, most likely. Surf is the only Water move you need after you get Gyarados.

I have gyarados now,so yeah
