PokemonTypeMethodNotes
ChinchouWater/ElectricRod★ Lanturn is a bulky Water/Electric — great dual-coverage pick.
TentacoolWater/PoisonSurfWaterCommon.
MantineWater/FlyingSurfWater (rare)Niche.
Missable (later): You'll SurfWater right past the Whirl Islands on Route 41 — that's Lugia's lair, but it needs the Silver Wing + WhirlpoolWater and is a Kanto-postgame trip (Phase 10/11). Note it and keep moving.
