[OVERVIEW]
Mudkip struggles to justify itself a spot on competitive teams, due to a poor Speed tier and limited movepool. Although it possesses above-average stats all-around, Corphish and Carvanha are better Water-type attackers that bring additional coverage along with more potent offenses. Chinchou's Electric typing along with Staryu's access to reliable recovery make them better defensive options than Mudkip.

[SET COMMENTS]
Mudkip should look to come in on threats, tank a hit, and then deal damage. However, even with an Eviolite, there are better Water-type tanks that have better coverage, and Mudkip's poor Special Attack means that Ice Beam is often not threatening enough against Grass types. Offensive Staryu, Carvanha, and Corphish all outclass Mudkip as more offensive Water-types.
