Araquanid's an insanely strong option for Classic, especially with unlocks. With its insane ability Water Bubble, Araquanid hits shockingly hard with its Water STAB options despite mediocre offensive stats, and Tinted Lens makes those Water STABs almost always the correct option. Araquanid's strong typing and solid bulk compliment its access to Bouncy Bubble and Leech Life to make it a bulky attacker with a lot of staying power. Its big weakness is Speed, but Silk Trap and Aqua Jet help compensate. Due to its strong match into Fire types, Araquanid is also a top tier in Mono-Bug.
