It has a sluggish nature. It lies at the river’s bottom, waiting for prey to stray into its mouth.

Quagsire's Water/Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Grass. Grass hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 95 HP and balanced defenses, Quagsire can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Spikes is the priority every time Quagsire comes in. Impish nature and max HP and Defense EVs keep it alive long enough to get layers down, while Leftovers provides passive recovery each turn. Unaware rounds it out. Recover keeps it healthy between hits.

Without TMs, Quagsire's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get coverage across 7 types on top of Hydro Pump and Earthquake for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

  2. Quagsire
    Step 2Quagsire ✓

  • Watch for Exeggutor (Grass) when using Quagsire. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Exeggutor is the most dangerous since Grass moves deal 4x damage. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 35 Speed, Quagsire won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Wooper evolves into Quagsire at level 20. Quagsire is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Wooper. It sits at 430 BST in its evolved form.

  • It depends on your team. Quagsire at 430 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Water/Ground coverage might be exactly what you're missing.

  • Don't let Quagsire's 430 base stat total fool you. Unaware is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a trick room.

  • Run Unaware on Quagsire. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Quagsire also gets Damp and Water Absorb, but they don't compare.

Quagsire first appeared in Gold & Silver and has been available in 17 games across 9 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
