- Lackluster offer of Water-type pokemon, at least up to this part of the game. And no, Psyduck isn't a viable choice no matter what.

That blue guy with double attack power trait is a competent water pokemon, no?

When I made that post I was still early on the game. During the late half of the game, once you get Surf, you start getting access to more competent Water types, such as Lapras (the one on my team). 

Double attack power trait? You mean the Torrent Ability? That's a risky ability to use, since it means that your Water type pokemon has to be on a constant 1/3rd of it's total HP in order to activate that Ability (every Water type move increases it's power by 1,5x). Excluding the Water starter, the only other pokemons that can get that ability are Panpour and Simipour, and it's a hidden ability, meaning that you can only get them via Hidden Grottoes or Dream World (in either case, it's a pretty rare occurance).
