>>57969590 (OP)
Terapagos, the Fuecoco line, the Sandile line, Stunfisk, etc. There's a whole bunch.

>>57969590 (OP)
>camel's

>>57969591
None of these are aquatic except stunkfisk.

>>57969590 (OP)
Grapploct
Eiscue
Eelektross line going by the dex, and tynamo showed up underwater in one of those “the world of Pokemon” movie introductions
Dragonite line
Dragalge
Its pal dhelmise, which is arguably the apex predator of the ocean
Fug and the latis learn dive
Probably some more too

>>57969603
You missed the most obvious
Lugia

Forgot the swampy ones
Shelmet and accelgor
Goomy line maybe?

>>57969590 (OP)
aren't there any sharks in the Red Sea to snack on silly camels?

>>57969590 (OP)
Chi-yu takes the form of a fish.

>>57969590 (OP)
Non-Water type swift swimmers

>>57969590 (OP)
Armaldo. It pisses me off because he could have gotten a water immunity ability like cradily, instead they left armaldo weak to water. despite being a sea creature

>BUT SWIFT SWIM IS BETTER!
You're a fucking idiot if you think so.

>>57969730
Stunfisk is also in this situation. Could have easily gotten water absorb, but the literal fish is weak to water, with a useless ability that is redundant with its typing.

>>57969590 (OP)
Those this meme exist simply because Team Aquas leader uses a pokenon based on a Shark while Team Magmas leader uses a pokemon based on a Camel?

>>57969590 (OP)
Kilowattrel (the bird it's based on its a sea-bird, also on the Water 1 egg group)
Drapion (Water 3 egg group)
Technically both G-corsola and P-Wooper and Crabrawler (again Water 1/3)

>>57969590 (OP)
Inkay, Malamar, Grapploct

I remember a scene in a movie with Malamar under the sea being chased by Wailord, it only lasts a few seconds, but I don't remember which movie it was.

>>57969725
also Ursus maritimus

>>57969840
Coconut crabs are weird since they lay their eggs and spend their early lives in the ocean, but once they mature they crawl out onto land and never return

Then Crabominable makes it even weirder since yeti crabs are a deep sea species

>>57969590 (OP)
Thoughts?

>>57969991
There's Archen, Archeops in Water 3 egg group

>>57969991
I'm assuming charmander and salandit are considered salamanders here, but since when are elephants aquatic

>>57969991
See >>57970002
Also where is Delibird/Bellibolt/Beartic line?

>>57970007
Because I was thinking about them spraying themselves in water. Fun fact, they're the closest relative to manatees and dugongs. I guess they don't count as hippos.

Aren't all salamanders aquatic? They're amphibians. Second fun fact, axolotl is just a immature salamander. Now I want an axolotl regional charmander.

>>57970015
>Beartic and Bellibolt
Shit, I'm blind
Also I agree with >>57970007 regarding the elephant mons. I also think that Palossand line is a bit of a stretch since but I guess it's aquatic enough

>>57970015
>>57970002
explain how it is water related because I dont get it

>>57969590 (OP)
Stunkfish

>>57970020
Palossand has the signature ability Water Compaction at least

>>57970021
literally
>>57969898
and delibird is at least partially based on a penguin, which swims.

>>57969590 (OP)
https://youtu.be/1pIkyAgamUQ?si=jI6rXlRYLLUDxJI4

Camels are actually great swimmers and it's not impossible for them to run into sharks on an open sea

>>57970021
>>57970021
Yeah, I'm fucking blind (the consequences of having a fucked up sleep schedule)
Now the Clobbopus line should be on the chart too
>Archen as a Water type
It's honestly hard to justify other than it being a Fossil (and fossils then to be found on sedimentary rock which are formed thanks to water moving sediment deposits)
Kind of a stretch imo

>>57970028
To add to this the only water move in Archeops learnset is Aqua Tail (which is a generic move based on certain physical features rather than typing like Aerial Ace)

what about tyranitar? godzillas come from water

i added shuckle because its in water in pal park

volbeat/illumise?

>>57970063
scizor is a crab

>>57970096
Scyther's loosely based on a praying mantis, and I think the closest thing scizor has to a real life counterpart is like a whip scorpion

>>57970063
> what about tyranitar? godzillas come from water

GF already gave it Surf like the rest of the Kaiju mons.

>>57970063
>Terrestrial
The water buffalo is amphibious, I don't remember why but it needs to get wet constantly.

Simipour is probably a reference to Seamonkeys or a variety of macaques that learned to dive.

>>57970240

>>57970240
lol

>>57969991
Klawf isn't aquatic

>>57970096
Scizor is still a mantis, the addition of the claw is "artificial" thanks to the metal layer, just as Kleavor and its rock axes.

>>57970267
Yes and no, land crabs live mostly on land, but their larval stage still requires living in water.

>>57970285
The same goes for Yanma, that needs a pre-revolution that shows its life cycle.

>>57970063
I wouldn't count the Charmander line as being based on an aquatic animal just because one of its members has Mander in its name. Salamander is also just an archaic way to refer to dragons, its part of were we get the term gerrymandering from. Charmander is categorized as the Lizard pokemon, and its Japanese name (Hitokage) contains the word for lizard as its most prominment part.

>>57970498
Yeah, at best, you could associate Charizard with an aquatic monitor or a komodo

>>57970498
but salamanders are associated with fire, not lizards

they often hide in damp logs, when people tossed logs onto a fire, the heat would drive salamanders out, making it look like they emerged from the flames, this gave rise to the illusion that salamanders were born in or immune to fire

>>57969590 (OP)
Source?

>>57969991
>charmander
>based on an aquatic animal
Localization only bs. It’s just named fire lizard in Japan.

Anyway, include Salamence
>has axolotl fins
>named after a salamander in JP too
>one of the few non-water types to have always learned hydro pump since its debut

>>57970544
>lizards aren’t associated with fire
Anon did you forget dragons exist or what

>>57970637
Nta but lizards (in the most general sense possible) aren't associated with fire.
Sure (european) dragons ARE known for their fire breath and hoarding treasure but that doesn't apply to something like a crocodilian for example
The salamander imaginary is spot on tho

>>57969991
>Donphan and Copperajah*
>But not Ekans or Sandaconda

*No complaints there, elephants are great swimmers and related to dugongs.

>>57970063
Wo-Chien if we're counting snails
Toxtricity for salamanders

>>57970709
Depends on the type of snake I guess?

>The Pokémon the Series episode The Misty Mermaid shows that Arbok can spend long periods underwater and survive in aquatic environments.
This was shocking to me, because at the same time they showed that weezing would just float on water. Hidden Arbok lore.

>>57970674
There’s nothing in the line resembling a salamander. It’s a baby dragon that grows wings and becomes a standard heraldic European dragon as it matures.

>>57971019
I didn't said that the charizard line is based on salamanders since it's just a localization thing since:
>Charmander - Salamander
>Charmeleon - Chameleon
>Charizard - Lizard
i just pointed out that
>salamanders are related to fire
Is a pretty common thing in mythology and ofc videogames
Pic rel Salamander Card in Castlevania Circle of the Moon (which gives fire related buffs)

>>57969590 (OP)
>sharks pluralized properly but camels isn’t
if you’re going to be stupid, at least be consistent

>>57971046
>Contrarian of the Moon

>>57969750
No it thosen't.

>>57971325
I prefer Harmony of Dissonance honestly.

>>57969590 (OP)
Guys don’t mix sharks and camels!!! It makes team aqua and team magma!

>>57970027
Can't wait for a Fire/Water geyser Camerupt regional variant.

>>57971019
How do you even distinguish salamanders from lizards? Gen 1 wasn't into specific animals as much as they are now

>>57968620

>>57970002
What the hell is he doing in there?

Oh, I get it... "Rox"ie because she plays Rock music. Heh.

>>57971046
4kids calling Hitokage 'Charmander' doesn't mean Game Freak meant for it to be a salamander.

>>57970822
probably because at the the time the Ekans line was the only snake pokemon, so they used it as a representative of all snakes (including water snakes) rather than just cobras. Cobras can swim but it's not something they make a habit of.

>>57972310
That's my point, it's a localization thing.
Charmander is literally the Lizard mon, not the salamander mon

>>57972313
Give Arbok Dive, just for flavor.

>>57972385
it looks like a salamander though
