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.

Quagsire Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
Quagsire is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Quagsire appears at level 60. Prerequisite: UNCOMMON. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
Game Availability
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.
