It hurts my heart to put the Hoenn region’s resident homosexual king this low, but looking at Wallace’s water-based team, I can only think about how my Raichu’s electric-based attacks would carve through it like a warm knife through butter. Credit where credit is due, Ludicolo’s secondary grass typing and Whiscash’s ground affinity are good shake-ups for when an electric-type Pokémon is just eating his party alive, but even so, swapping to a flying- or grass-type Pokémon for a turn will make quick work of those two outliers.

Sorry king. Your look is a slay, your Milotic partner Pokémon is iconic. But if I dropped a toaster in a pool your entire team would be floating on the surface moments later.
