A good water type

My friends and I are doing a challenge with Fire Red and Leaf Green. We each pick a starter and battle eachother after each gym. Anyway, I picked Charmander, and I need to know which water type I should use. I would use Gyrados but I am almost sure the other 2 of my friends will be using him. To avoid being redundant, I thought maybe Vaporeon, Kingler, or Starmie(Even though I cant get him in my game). So which do you all think would be best;152;?

I'd say get a Staryu if you can, if not try Kingler as then you can have the OHKO move.
 
Vaporeon is great, as is Starmie (with Psychic/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Surf) or something like that. I've never used Kingler though...

Vaporeon if you want a wall, Starmie if you want a sweeper.

like the person above me said: vapareon and staryu are the best. staryu is a good special sweeper (psychic, thunderbolt, ice beam, surf)

I would get a seadra so you can evolve it into a kingdra after you get the national dex. If not then, just get lapras, or gyarados, or seaking!

If you can, tentacruel w/ mirror coat is evil. It combats its only weaknesses. You should consider lapras also.

Vaporeon isn't a wall. Good SPA, more like a SPA tank. Go with Vaporeon if you need a sustainer with pretty good Offense, or try Lapras.
And Skarmory, ahem EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buh-Bye Tentacruel. =).

Get Vaporeon or Golduck, both are really good water. OR just start with squirtle.

The thread owner said they chose Charmander.

As the others said, I'd probably recommend Vaporeon, Lapras or Starmie as a good water type. It depends on what you want to use it for, and the rest of your team.

Lapras is a good choice. It can learn electric attacks and ice attacks

You can try Starmie too since it can learn the same types of moves

Yes Vaporeon has excellent health, but look at Shuckle. Everyone considers it to be a wall because of its defenses not its health. Just because it has good health doesnt make it a wall.

Ah ha!! ♪
i'd go for starmie. it's become a favourite of mine since i recently got 1 in my team. psychic/thunderbolt/surf/ice beam is a nice moveset as it covers a lot of types. if you're sure your friends will pick gyarados, then ice beam/thunderbolt takes care of him; while thunderbolt will take care of squirtle, and ice beam again for bulbasaur (although your charmander takes care of him anyway). but it's really up to you and what you want to use it for.
