You might be slightly biased there

No way, Torterra learns Earthquake naturally (and really early) so you still have the TM, it has really good defenses (just mind its weaknesses), and it's fast enough to where in game you outspeed Pokemon more often than not. You've got banging STABs, killer design, you can choose Floatzel (my favorite Water-type) without type overlap, and you're not using Chimchar. It's honestly pretty obvious

...but.... But fire

Nah, Chimchar has a deep movepool with lots of type coverage. Thunder Punch for Water and Flying, plus Shadow Claw for Psychics.

Plus, the best Water type in Sinnoh is clearly Gastrodon.

Thanks for supporting chimchar tails
