A choice between...

[BREAKINGBEN]

Ok, so on my Sapphire I just caught a Surskit and realized that it will have better attacks than my Lotad will. My question is: Should I keep Lotad and deposit Surskit, should I add Surskit and deposit Lotad, or should I keep them both? Thanks for your help.

This is my current team:
Mudkip L: 13
Lotad L: 11
Surskit L: 5
I am by Oldale so it is really early in the game.

Bug/water combo is really interesting, but Surskit evolves into Masquerain (or w/e is it spelled), a generic weak bug/flying poke. Unless you really want to use surskit, keep Lotad - altrough both mudkip and Lotad are part water, they got different weaknesses in final forms.

That, and Ludicolo is awesome imho.

DeadDuck---->Agreed but Masquerian has been good to me.

Surskit Funset:

Surskit@???
Modest
6 HP, 252 SATT, 252 SPD
Rain Dance
Hydro Pump
Haze/Agility
Ice Beam

A fun little set. Not even fit for NU, but at least with this set you can keep Surskit as a Surskit.

If only Surskit got a Bug/Water Alternate Evolution...

If you ever get one in the 4th Gen,

Surskit@Damp Rock

Rain Dance
Hydo Pump

Signal Beam/Baton Pass
