How to Beat Crasher Wake in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
Crasher Wake’s Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl team is Gyarados, Quagsire and a Lv 30 Floatzel, and Quagsire carries Haze, which wipes every stat boost you build. A Pachirisu from Route 205 hits the other two hard, and Quagsire takes nothing from its Electric moves.
