Y’all honestly yhink that Eridan Ampora, the guy who tries to be the best at anything he can get his hands on, who shoots sky whales dead in one shot with the weapon he received by reaching the highest fucking tier in FLARP, would have a whimpy ass team of fishy splashing useless PokĂ©mon.

Yeah, no, here’s what his actual lineup would be:

Kingdra, Gyarados (with Gyaradosite), Dragalge, Absol (with Absolite), Hydreigon, Cloyster.

The seahorses/dragon types are pretty self explanatory, with the whole Sea Dragon being a type of sea horse which is his lusus and also sea horses are substitutes for dragons in some fiction. Gyarados is the knockoff dragon we never got to see thru. But its huge and mean and right up Eridans dark alley (ha get it).

Absol is the Pokémon that brings disaster that looks like a fucking angel when its Mega Absol. How could he not have Absol.

Cloyster is a badass and used in tournaments still so ofc he would pick the ice/water, big purple ball of anger with a horn on its head. And if you count Eridans fucking obsession with material goods, the whole “pearl in a clam” thing is just even more obvious.

Depending on who he’s fighting he’ll bust out the Mega Gyarados or the Mega Absol.

Also, notice how his lineup isn’t inherently all water types.

Because Eridan Ampora, proud seadweller, has absolutely no business in actually going into the ocean. Like, ever. He just stands around and tells ppl how bad they are for being on the surface and yet????? ?????? ? ? .?? ???

Horsea and Magikarp were his first Pokémon, because he lives on a beach/island. The others were caught during his adventuring or FLARPing.
