[Pokémon] The water type club

[ReKoil]

There have been several Water type Ride Pokemon throughout the games.

Lapras is the oldest, starting in XY, and also the one that has appeared the most; appearing in XY, SM/USUM & LGPE.

Spoiler:

Sharpedo has made appearances in ORAS and in SM/USUM:

Spoiler:

Aside from those, ORAS also allowed you to ride Wailmer and Kyogre. USUM allowed to you travel between islands via Mantine Surf. LGPE let's you ride Starmie and Gyarados and Legends Arceus let's you ride Basculegion.

Spoiler:

Which of these is your favorite Water type Ride Pokemon?
Which ones do you recall using?
For Mantine Surf: Did you like the minigame?

If you could add any Water type Pokemon as a Ride Pokemon, which one would you pick?

Lapras and Basculegion are top contenders, but I would love to surf and dive on Kyogre's back again.
I guess Basculegion is the most recent one so if forced to pick I think I'd go with it.

Which ones do you recall using?

Lapras. In SM/USUM and LGPE at the very least. Might also have used it in XY, but don't recall.
Sharpedo in SM/USUM. Never knew you could ride it in ORAS back when I was playing those games. Same for Wailmer.
Kyogre in ORAS. Discovered it by accident at the time, but it looks really cool if you dive with it!
Basculegion in Legends: Arceus. Necessary to progress =P Riding the waters on it's back was pretty cool though!
Mantine surf was required for the first Island switch as well in USUM iirc.
I did try out Starmie in LGPE, but I was expecting it to be a water Ride Pokemon... but it's a Ride Pokemon for on land... and it kinda weirded me out a bit. Never tried Gyarados.

For Mantine Surf: Did you like the minigame?

I never really tried the fancier tricks, but it was an enjoyable minigame imo. I only did each course a handful of times though.

For Paldea Dondozo seems pretty fiting.
Also feel like Gastrodon could fit the role of a water crossing Ride Pokemon quite well.

Sharpedo, so much fond memories in UM!

Which ones do you recall using?
Only Sharpedo, Lapras, mantine, and basculegion!

For Mantine Surf: Did you like the minigame?
Yeah! thought it was a refreshing minigame!

Araquanid would be cool, you'd be able to walk on water!

Lapras would be my pick because it's always been a favorite pokemon of mine and seeing it's cute proportions in the overworld looks awfully cute, like a Lapras doll from your secret base come to life. I need to get around to playing LGPE, because I do really like Starmie and Gyarados also, and would love to sail on one of them.

For Mantine Surf: Did you like the minigame?

I liked the idea of it, as always cool to have ways to interact with pokemon outside of the battlefield, and thought the mantine very amusing with that seat on it's back, flipping through the air with you, but I wasn't an adept player, who knew all the tricks and when I was supposed to used to them contest-style, I just played it a little, and tried to obstacles and not fall off as I rode the waves. Haha.

Bet you'll never guess ;)
