Quagsire Weakness
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Grass |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Poison, Rock, Steel |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Quagsire Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, 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.
For Black 2 & White 2, 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.
In Black 2 & White 2, 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 C-Tier as a trick room. Recover with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, 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.
In Black 2 & White 2, Quagsire's hidden ability is Unaware. Ignores other Pokémon's stat modifiers for damage and accuracy calculation. Better than the standard options for competitive play.
Game Availability
