[SET COMMENTS]
Quaquaval is a decent choice for Water teams thanks to its access to Rapid Spin to remove hazards for its teammates as well as a potential setup tool in Aqua Step in tandem with Moxie. Close Combat is high power STAB that targets Dark- and Steel-types such as Hydreigon, Kingambit, and Hisuian Goodra. Alternatively, Brick Break hits the same targets while removing screens in the Grass, Fairy, and Ice matchups. Aqua Step potentially allows Quaquaval to sweep thanks to the Speed boost, outspeeding the likes of the Ogerpon formes, Volcarona, and Flutter Mane after it is used once. Knock Off can be used to remove crucial items such as recovery items from Corviknight and Toxapex while also targeting Ghost-types that block Rapid Spin like Gholdengo and Dragapult. 164 Speed EVs allow Quaquaval to outpace non-Choice Scarf Flutter Mane after either an Aqua Step or Rapid Spin boost and OHKO it back with Aqua Step.

Quaquaval appreciates entry hazard support from the likes of Gastrodon and Swampert, and the two of them provide an Electric immunity making them great against threats such as Regieleki, Raging Bolt, and Iron Hands. Toxapex aids Quaquaval in its potential sweeping by inflicting poison on opposing threats such as Iron Valiant, Breloom, and Meowscarada. In return, Quaquaval deals with Ground-types such as Ting-Lu, Gliscor, and Mamoswine. Early-game wallbreakers such as Greninja and Ogerpon-W pair well with Quaquaval, as they handle walls that it struggles with so it can setup in the late-game. Greninja notably handles Poison-types such as Toxapex, Water Absorb Clodsire, and Amoonguss with Protean-boosted Extrasensory, while Ogerpon-W threatens Dark- and Water-types like Hydreigon and Swampert with Play Rough and Horn Leech respectively. Primarina makes for another great partner, as it serves as a potential wincon by challenging Dragon-types like Garchomp, Gouging Fire, and Latias with its great bulk and access to Calm Mind. Pelipper provides an immunity to Ground with Flying-typing which allows it to take on Great Tusk and Grass-types such as Breloom, Meowscarada, and Ogerpon-H. Barraskewda serves as a late-game cleaner when boosted under rain, taking on a multitude of speedy threats like Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Iron Valiant, and Sneasler.

Quaquaval is a decent choice for Water teams thanks to its access to Rapid Spin as well as a potential setup tool in Aqua Step in tandem with Moxie. However, it is usually outclassed by Tentacruel due to its better defensive typing and utility and as a Fighting-type option by Urshifu-R and Keldeo due to their wallbreaking abilities. Close Combat is high power STAB that targets Dark- and Steel-types such as Hydreigon, Kingambit, and Hisuian Goodra. Alternatively, Brick Break hits the same targets while removing screens in the Grass and Ice matchups. Aqua Step is both STAB and potentially allows Quaquaval to sweep thanks to the Speed boost, outspeeding the likes of the Ogerpon formes, Volcarona, and Flutter Mane after it is used once. Knock Off can be used to remove crucial items such as recovery items from Corviknight and Toxapex while also targeting Ghost-types that block Rapid Spin like Gholdengo and Spectrier. Rapid Spin allows Quaquaval to support its teammates by removing entry hazards. 164 Speed EVs allow Quaquaval to outpace non-Choice Scarf Flutter Mane after either an Aqua Step or Rapid Spin boost and OHKO it back with Aqua Step.

However, it is usually outclassed by Tentacruel due to its better defensive typing and utility and as a Fighting-type option by Urshifu-R and Keldeo due to their wallbreaking abilities. i never liked mentioning other mons that are better cuz i understand that quaq isnt very good but if a reader chooses to read a quaq analysis im sure theyre going to want to use that mon in particular for a reason though you can revert this if you want Close Combat is high power STAB that targets Dark- and Steel-types such as Hydreigon, Kingambit, and Hisuian Goodra. Alternatively, Brick Break hits the same targets while removing screens in the Grass, Fairy and Ice matchups uhhh i dont think any mon using screens on grass is any good? im probably misinformed here so i wont remove it but just food for thought.

Pelipper puts pressure off its teammates in handling Ground-types just reword this to say it provides a ground type immunity rather than it handles ground types cuz 1. thats the main niche of mentioning peli here 2. the analysis already explained how quaq and ogerpon already do that so its kind of redundant, as its Flying-typing allows it to take on Great Tusk, but also Grass-types such as Breloom, Meowscarada, and Ogerpon-H. Barraskewda serves as a late-game cleaner when boosted under rain, taking on a multitude of speedy threats like Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Iron Valiant, and Sneasler.
