Which pokemon is worth evolving?
 
When I get a water stone,Which pokemon is worth evolving?I think there both good pokemon.

Smarties-chan September 12th, 2005 9:43 AM

I'd say staryu it's a great pokemon with hid sp defense and sp attack and it has a better movepool than poliwrath.

Aust77 September 12th, 2005 9:47 AM

Thanks,I needed the info,Cause I have both pokemon and I couldn't decide.
P.S:Why didn't you vote?

gameboy3d September 12th, 2005 11:15 AM

if you take advantage of the glitches dont use the stone till you have 5 of them, just give the stone to a pkmn to hold and clone that pkmn 4 or 5 times.

ps i voted :D :P

I would choose Starmie over Poliwrath personally. I'm more of a Special Atk/Def person. Also, Starmie has a greater ability to learn moves, giving you the chance to create a better moveset than possible for Poliwrath.

I have also experimented with battling the two. Starmie can beat Poliwrath without using type alignments (Starmie's Psychic vs. Poliwrath's Fighting)

On the other side, Poliwrath can learn a lot of good physical attacks. I have one with Dynamicpunch, despite its low aim. XD

To decide, ask yourself: Do you battle better with physical or special moves?

Eon-Rider September 12th, 2005 10:33 PM

I think you should evolve Poliwhirl...

Murpheos September 12th, 2005 11:49 PM

It all depends on what you are going to use it for. Starmie is a great special sweeper (Surf, Thunder Bolt, Psychic, Ice Beam), whereas Poliwrath can be either Physical or Special. So it depends on who you want.

Minako September 13th, 2005 12:05 AM

I second the post above. XP I'd personally choose Starmie, but it depends on what other Pokémon you have in your team and which type of attacker you need more~ XP

Firelord September 13th, 2005 2:53 AM

i think u should evolve Poliwhirl.

Silfa September 13th, 2005 3:04 AM

I'd go with poliwhirl...

Cause its so awesome!!!

gameboy3d September 13th, 2005 11:07 AM

same here poliwhirl :D. plus it looks more fearce

gameboy3d September 13th, 2005 11:08 AM

same here poliwhirl :D. plus it looks more fearce and staru is a womans pkmn

Loyal Arcanine September 14th, 2005 10:11 AM

I'd go with Poliwrath, but it's all personal preferance. I suppose Starmie might be a touch better in battling, but meh, Poliwrath for me.

Aust77 September 14th, 2005 11:53 AM

I don't know yet...Cause polywhirls got 2 less.Tomorrow,If polywhirl get more than Staryu,Then i'l stick with polywhirl.But if the votes stay like this then i'll evolve Staryu.

Mr.Mime September 20th, 2005 10:20 AM

Poliwhirl defo although never had a staryu

.::Tsunami::. September 21st, 2005 1:55 AM

i reckon polywhirl because it's strong and it's cool!!

Shiny Meganium September 22nd, 2005 8:06 AM

Hi, I'm new

I would evolve Staryu into Starmie because of it's good sp.attk and sp.def.
Also, you can teach it moves like Psychic, Thunderbolt and it learns Recover. It's really strong

~Amethyst_Callista_Moon~ September 28th, 2005 6:06 AM

Pick Staryu. If you trade Poliwhirl, you can get Politoed.

Flashmew September 28th, 2005 6:45 AM

Polywhirl .. ofcourse! he is much cooler!

The Fallen September 28th, 2005 3:19 PM

You can evolve both oO; I would go with Staryu though, but not because it is particullary better, just cause not many people have it.

Aust77 September 28th, 2005 3:35 PM

Pretty much,There both evenly matched,so I might as well go with polywhirl.I'll evolve staryu if I ever get another water stone :\ .

jc_rcw September 28th, 2005 4:08 PM

Actually starmie/staryu is better.Poliwhirl best moveset:surf,ice beam,hypnosis, Psychic(not sure).Staryu:surf,thunderbolt, recover, psychic.

Cooltrainer Lance September 28th, 2005 4:15 PM

I also say Starmie. I personally like it better and it has a pretty cool moveset.

Batesymon September 29th, 2005 2:14 AM

Starmie definitely. It is one of the best Water types you can get in competitive battle.

Besides, you could get a Politoed? Or did you ever think of duplicating it if you're up to "cheating"?

Dude, Poliwrath is a physical attacker.
