I really don't know, but to tell you the truth, my favorite pokemon is a water type. It's Milotic. But still, I have no clue which would be better. My brother says that psychic type are better. But somehow I doubt that.

I concur. Psychic types are much better.

If you really can't decide, choose between the few Water/Psychic-types there are. oO;

Psychic is way better than frekin Militoc.

What title?
IMO, Psychics have higher special attack, but lower HP (like Zam)
Icosahedron

This should really go in the Pokepolls section imo.
Anyways, I'll go against the apparent flow and say Water-types are better, mainly because they only have two weaknesses and also because their two weaknesses are both based on Sp. Atk. Thus something like Calm Mind can prevent super effective hits from doing much, as well as boosting Sp. Atk. And why are there "bulky Waters" but not "bulky Psychics?" I'm just saying that the best Water-types are more durable than the best Psychic-types. Of course, on the flip side, most Psychic-types are more offensive than Water-types. So essentially, if you're talking in terms of defense, then Waters are better; if you're talking in terms of offense, then Psychics are better.

hush.
Water. As icosahedron said, they only have 2 weakness's, both special and you can simply calm mind a bit. Plus, they get a 95 base move in a hm.
It's really down to opinion.

Most psychics can pwn the water types especially the legendary ones. So I say psychic.
Doesn't matter to me, I say it depends on the pokemon

This post is coming from an unbiased standpoint.
Water types are MUCH better than Psychic-types. As stated above, waters only have two weaknesses: Electric and Grass. However, the only usable offensive grass attacks are Giga Drain and Hidden Power Grass, while good Electrics are few and far between. The only types that resist Water are other Waters (lol) and Grassers; as with Electrics, there are only a few good grassers. They generally have the defense to stand up to neutral attacks from powerhouses like Salamence/Metagross, and can Surf/Ice Beam these Pokes to oblivion. Waters counter a lot of overused Pokemon, so they are always welcome spot on the team.
Psychics have gotten the short end of the stick. More overused Pokemon, such as Tyranitar and sponges, can wall psychic attacks. Shadow Ball is used on several physical sweepers, which will send Psychics to their doom quickly. Generally, the only Poison/Fighters in overused are Heracross, Gengar, and Weezing, while the latter has sort of died out from what I've seen. They are generally harder to fit on teams since they counter less Pokemon than waters. Most Psychics need another type to be truly efficent (i.e. Steel on Jirachi helps it resist Normal and Rock, Celebi's Grass-typing helps it resist Water attacks), as pure Psychic is only an okay typing.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE TIME ON YOUR HANDS!

.....Suicune and that beastly defense. Water is better. Like EVERY team has a water Pokemon... STABed surf = death. Plus Water has the best legendary, the coolest Uber, and the most tanks of any types. And not to mention the most hybrids. And...3...egg groups!

Psychic is way better, but if you really can`t choose, take Starmie.

Although Gross explosion beats them. Suicune obviously walls it to hell or Metagross wouldn't have to explode like some retard to win.. And in a way you are still losing because you lose a powerful CBer like Metagross
Waters are easily the mose defensive types in the game. Defense is pretty important.
Psychics use Special Offense. Special offense is crap compared to Physical offense. Only Gross/Jirachi/Celebi are much used psychics. I'd say Starmie, but its also a water type.
Water>Psychic
This is unbiased unlike some posts made by others.
