Question

I just got it in a trade and it has a horrible moveset. It knows:

Muddy Water: STAB, good power, good chance to decrease accuracy.

Waterfall: Decent chance to cause flinching, good damage, high accuracy, STAB, makes use of Quagsire's higher Attack stat.

Water Pulse: Decent power, high accuracy, STAB, decent chance to confuse.

Water Gun: STAB, high accuracy.

Quagsire (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Unaware
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stockpile
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Recover

Answer 1

He should have the following:

Waterfall-His attack is higher than his Special attack

Earthquake-good move, high accuracy, STAB bonus

Ice beam/Ice punch- To cover grass weakness (This one isn't completely necessary as quagsire can outspeed very few grass types, and most pokemon are non grass types armed with moves like grass knot and energy ball.)

Curse-If you wish to boost his stats, His speed isn't going to help him much anayway.

Comments

I wish it could learn Avalanche. I'll take Ice Punch, due to higher attack.

Answer 2

Gen V

Quagsire (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Unaware (DW)

Relaxed or Impish nature

• Swagger
• Toxic
• Protect
• Amnesia/Waterfall

With the Unaware ability u can keep on using swagger but it will still do the same damage to u. Which stops sweeping. And when your opponent gets hit by confusion it will do lots of damage to itself.

Answer 3

Nature Adamant Evs 252 attack, 252hp, 4def

Waterfall(STAB)

E-quake(STAB)

Ice punch(Coverage)

Amensia(Boosts pathetic S.def)

---

You could switch Amensia with Curse for more offense and defense

Answer 4

Gen V

Quagsire (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Water Absorb

EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 Def

Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

• Recover
• Encore
• Earthquake
• Curse

Answer 6

My Quagsire:

• Brick Break
• Waterfall
• Yawn
• Dig

Ability: Water Absorb
Holding: Leftovers

Want to replace Brick Break for Curse one of these days.

Answer 7

Sir Quag I. IV Gen

Brave Nature
EV trained in Hp and Sp.Def
Water Absorb Ability
Leftovers Held item

Dive: STAB, pretty good after you use Curse and a way to avoid damage.
Curse: Defence and Attack power up. (Also a speed boost if used in the right team)
Amneisia: For some even more bulk.
Yawn: So you get to do all this with out the foe attacking.

Since it doesn't get Recover 'till Gen V, I use him in double battles and take advantage of moves like Surf to heal him.
