Topic: Who else would like to see another Water/Fighting-type?

[MonsterMon64]

Could just be because Water and Fighting are my two favorite types, but I think about this from time to time: We're six generations old now, and yet the only garden-variety Water/Fighting we've got (Keldeo isn't "garden-variety", before anyone even mentions it) is Poliwrath. This could probably be said about [your favorite type combination that hasn't been done much here] as well, but I can't help but think we're overdue for another one. At the very least, it'd be cool to get a Water/Fighting starter some time down the road, if nothing else.

So what do you think? Is Poliwrath enough, or would you be okay with an alternative take on Water/Fighting? Could a new Water/Fighting do something that Poliwrath and Keldeo don't already do? Given the choice, what would you want a new Water/Fighting-type to be based on?

I really want a good physical Water/Fighting type. Keldeo's really good, and Secret Sword hits for physical damage and all, but Poliwrath... Poliwrath sucks. Maybe Mega Poliwrath would drag him from the depths of NU? Regardless, Fighting is my favorite type, and it doesn't have nearly enough good Pokemon for a mono-Fighting type!

A water/fighting octopus type thing that could use all the punching moves would be sweet.

^That's pretty cool, too, but then I would have settled for an octopus with boxing gloves on each tentacle. That's what I pictured when I read Claire's idea, anyway.

I guess I forgot to share my idea for another Water/Fighting: Physical offensive would be great, but it'd be cool if going mixed was a possibility too. Mainly because I was picturing either a hippo or an elephant which could make use of Water Spout (or if not that, Scald because I love Scald) but be able to belt out physical Fighting blows as needed.

D'oh! Obviously it was just such a good idea that someone else had it, haha.

Though tbh I was thinking more along the lines of Launch Octopus... but that maybe more suited for an Octillery Mega Evo instead?

That would really neat, actually! An Octillery Mega Evo like that would be pretty sweet!
