I see and read this combo for one all the time. And the main argument is platypus are poisonous. To which many point out, it's only the males. And yeah 100% easy for Gamefreak to make both genders Water/Poison and then state the males are said to be more poisonous.
That all said I think there is a much more fitting type combination for a hypothetical Water platypus starter. Water/Electric.
The thing about platypuses is they hunt with what is described as an electrical sixth sense. They literally close thier eyes, nose, and ears when hinting underwater and use electroreceptors on thier bill to locate the electrical fields of it's prey.
Hands down that sounds like way more interesting peice of the animals natural biology to exploit for a hypothetical platypus starter than some point barbs on one genders feet.
So yeah, unpopular opinion I don't want a Water/Poison platypus starter, I want a Water/Electric one. Through in a Hidden ability that either increases it's Accuracy stat after using an Electric attack, or maybe just makes all Electric attacks never miss For bonus points.
