As a user of Relicanth, i can safely say Relicanth does NOT take water moves well, if at all (it doesn't resist water after all). Surf, Hydro Pump, even Scald does a number to Relicanth, likely crippling it for the rest of the match due to its lack of reliable recovery. Even Ice Beam and Blizzard Relicanth has difficulty switching into more than once. It DOES make a fantastic check/counter to Flying-types though, standing out as one of the most impressive subBU Braviary counters I've ever seen due to its sheer offensive presence.
