Stats: Really fast, pretty good Attack, usable Special Attack
Typing: Water-types are kind of bland. However, it is available a lot earlier than a lot of the other Water-types (aside from Oshawott, Marill, and Psyduck).
Movepool: Learns a number of HMs, gets Surf since how its available
Major Battles: Unfortunately, pretty average/bad at handling these guys. It isn't available until right after Clay I think (if it isn't then it handles Clay well). It does OK against Skyla (nuetral in every way), does good against Drayden's and Iris's Flygon (Ice Fang), destroys Emboar/Simisear if the Rival has it, but all the other battles it can only get a fast hit on a Pokemon.
Additional Comments: Anaverage Pokemon, but if one needs a Water-type early on and needs it to evolve early on, Floatzel is pretty much the only one out there other than Azumarill if you didn't pick Oshawott.

Do note that you can teach floatzel Ice punch with the 10 red shards.
