We shall see tonight who is truely the king of the Pokemon Stadium. Thats right for one night only folks, There is going to be bubble's popped, water gun's shot, hardened used, and an Aurora Beam of Death that could only come from the 40 Foot behemouths we call Collosus.
Edit: I need Resizing Images for dummies
How the heck could u leave out the STRONGEST water attack, Hydro Pump?
Accuracy. Competitive Pokemon player here, if you're running a sweeper that would OHKO things it wouldn't 2HKO with Surf, Hydro Pump can be okay, or if it's something that learns Hydro Pump but not Surf (ala Rotom-W), but other than that, only 8 uses and shitty accuracy means Surf > Hydro Pump. Also consider that most Water types are bulky so the extra power doesn't mean a whole lot.
tl;dr he should have mentioned Surf instead
LOL, I was gonna write up something along those lines, because Hydro Pump and Surf have the same effective power when accuracy is taken into account. But my assumption was that no one else on TL would care for a competitive pokémon discussion >.<
Considering how much I have managed to derail about pokemon in the past people are interested provided you don't go into the fifth gen meta game because it is clearly broken.
Since they're both water types, wouldn't it be more sensible to compare bite vs body slam since they're moves both pokemon learn naturally.

So it comes down to Parahax vs flinch
Neither of them have serene grace why would you risk parahax 0.0
