Best Pokemon for the Story

Best Partner for Mudkip

Pokemon	Type
Cubone	Type 1: Ground Type 2:

With its power to draw Electric-type moves away from other Pokemon, Cubone is easily the best partner for Mudkip.

It also has access to a lot of Fire-type moves via TM, so Cubone can take care of pesky Grass-types as well.

Best Moveset

Move	Type	Effect
Ice Beam	Ice	It fires off a cold beam, damaging a Pokemon, even one far away. It could also make the enemy Frozen.
Rock Tomb	Rock	It damages an enemy. It also lowers the enemy's Travel Speed.
Sludge Wave	Poison	It damages nearby enemies. It could also make them Poisoned.
Waterfall	Water	It damages an enemy. It could also make the enemy Flinch.

Notes

• Waterfall is the STAB go to for Mudkip that makes use of its high Atk. Stat.
• Ice Beam is one of the best moves in the game. It is a reliable, ranged and high-power move that can even Freeze the enemy.
• Sludge Wave is an AoE move. While Ice Beam already covers Grass types, it covers the rare Fairy type. It is a good move not because of its coverage and its ability to Poison, but for its AoE.
• If you are in the latter stage where Monster Houses are common, you can consider using Blizzard instead of one of the moves listed.
