Guide
WIP
I chose Amnesia over Telekensis due to the redundancy with its UNITE move, but its still a very viable move. Especially if you are in a queue with another player that you can communicate with.
Early Game: Water Gun is your beginning move. It gives you a bit more damage than a basic attack, albeit still weak on its own. Much like Snorlax, try to leave the Aipom with a little HP for your lane partner to take as you make your way. Once you get to the double Aipom, try to stand to the side and charge your Water Gun to hit move to get them moving so you can take the EXP as you go. After the duo Aipom, ignore the others and shoot for the Neutral Corphish immediately. You can hide in the grass and work on building your timing with Water Gun to steal the Corphish if needed if the enemy has a Snorlax already there. If you gain the upper hand and drive the enemy back, try to push up and steal their Aipom/Audino if you can. But don't linger for too long. If you start taking too much damage, kite back to your Goal and heal up, take your camps and evolve, taking Surf as you engage again. Surf will help your lane partner chunk HP from the enemy as they get cc'd into the air.
Works Well With
The crowd control Ninetales and Slowbro bring can be really tough to contend with early game.
