[SET COMMENTS]
Quagsire's access to Unaware, reliable recovery, and a great defensive typing grants it a valuable niche in shutting down setup sweepers. Scald provides Quagsire with a chance to burn incoming physical attackers such as Swords Dance Silvally formes, Passimian, and Bewear. Recover is necessary so that Quagsire can continue fulfilling its role as a physical wall. Toxic allows Quagsire to cripple opposing walls such as Gastrodon, Jellicent, and Sableye. Alternatively Quagsire can run Curse so that it can use opposing physical attackers as setup fodder and overpower them with Earthquake. Unaware is Quagsire's main selling point and is its most useful ability for fulfilling its role as a physical wall. Leftovers provides Quagsire with passive recovery which can help negate the effect of entry hazards while also reducing its need to use Recover.
Quagsire excels on balanced and defensive builds thanks to its ability Unaware, letting it act as both a wall and threatening setup Pokemon in its own right. Entry hazard setters such as Rhydon and Steelix appreciate Quagsire's ability to shut down physical Fighting- and Ground-types such as Passimian, Bewear, and opposing Rhydon. Quagsire also appreciates Pokemon that can switch into Grass-type attacks such as Drampa, Silvally-Steel, and Charizard. Additionally, Pokemon that can bounce back or absorb status for Quagsire like Xatu and Vileplume pair well with it. Vileplume is one of Quagsire's most notable partners thanks to its ability to absorb Toxic and Toxic Spikes while also resisting Grass-type attacks. Due to Quagsire's lacking Special Defense, Pokemon that wall special attackers such as Snorlax and Jellicent make for excellent partners. Quagsire also appreciates Pokemon that can remove entry hazards such as Xatu, the Silvally formes, and Dhelmise.
