You got Defense and you got Attack, for your primarily special attacker who's weak to a load of special moves. Niiiiiice. A physical Water type is fine, but not when you have to rely on special moves. The fact that SWIFT is your best physical attacking move is a huge problem. You only learn Normal moves for your physical options, so it's best to just ignore them and work with your lower Special Attack. Being a Water type and then later an Ice type means you have good options. Not through level up, where the only notable move you learn is Aurora Beam, which is fine. But the only Water move you learn is Clamp. At level 41. Which is hilariously bad. Finally, if you stick around until level 49, you get Ice Beam, but you can get that before then, so don't bother. If you want to be fancy and are playing Crystal, you can evolve it at level 32 to learn Spikes at 33. But you have your Water HMs and your Ice TMs and that's all you really have, cause man, this evolution line does not learn many attacking options. But if you want to take physical attacks and be a support, with Protect and Rain Dance and that, then you have your options. Still not great when you lose to most special attackers. Oh well.
