Lanturn is cool, good typing and can learn water HMs. Move Tutor exists in Crystal and Lanturn learns both Thunderbolt and Ice Beam from it. Can of course teach it Thunder if doing Rain Dance. Never a blockbuster Pokémon but does what you want.

Good to know, I’ll give it a shot on my next playthrough. How early can you get it? I’ve always ignored them.

Uhm I’m pretty sure you can fish up a Chinchou from New Bark Town as soon as you get the Good Rod. If you’re talking about Electabuzz or Raichu the Odd Egg you get from the daycare man can hatch into any of the baby Pokémon so you could get an Elekid or Pichu. Sadly we non-Japanese plebs only get a 14% chance of it being shiny instead of the Japanese 50%, so I don’t tend to reset for a shiny.

Good to know. I think I’ll go for a full new team next time, I usually pull from the same ~10 Pokémon.

It’s always fun to switch it up, I like going for less obvious picks. Especially ones you can pick up early and build a narrative with. I tend to be sentimental like that, it’s fun to build little stories for yourself. I guess I watched too much of the Pokémon anime as a kid.
