I recommend Chimchar. Turtwig eventually has a huge weakness to flying attacks, so do not use him. Piplup just doesn't learn many good attacks. Chimchar is one of the only fire types in the game, so unless you catch a ponyta, you'll be in for some trouble.
i didnt have a problem against flying with turtwig. since it was the only one i used, it was always around 10-15 levels above the people i had to battle, i could just use crunch or something against the flying pokemon, which was normally efective.
