[SET COMMENTS]
Owing to its invaluable ability Unaware and its stellar defensive typing, Quagsire is the most reliable Zacian-C check in the game, as well as being adept at checking Necrozma-DM and Swords Dance Arceus formes and capable of taking on Dragon Tail Zygarde-C. Earthquake allows Quagsire to defeat Zacian-C, 2HKOing it while also damaging Primal Groudon and Necrozma-DM. Scald can be used over Earthquake for a chance to permanently cripple the aforementioned threats barring Primal Groudon, but it is less effective at forcing them out. Haze prevents Necrozma-DM from setting up on Quagsire and breaking through it with Sunsteel Strike while also providing a win condition versus Baton Pass teams and preventing Zygarde-C from freely setting up. Toxic allows Quagsire to cripple switch-ins such as Ho-Oh and support Arceus formes while chipping away at offensive Pokemon such as Mega Rayquaza, Xerneas, and Yveltal that may try to take advantage of Quagsire's passive nature. Leftovers provides passive recovery and is important to help prevent Play Rough or Close Combat Zacian-C from breaking through Quagsire, which it can with minimal chip. Shed Shell on the other hand eases the matchup versus Mega Gengar and Gothitelle, but in general the stall teams Quagsire features on cannot handle these threats regardless.
Quagsire fits best on stall teams that in particular require an extremely reliable Zacian-C switch-ins. Due to Quagsire's low overall bulk, it is vulnerable to many wallbreakers. Lugia and support Arceus formes are good partners in order to help combat physical wallbreakers such as Primal Groudon, Mega Rayquaza,and Ultra Necrozma, whereas Chansey can check special ones such as Yveltal, Xerneas, Primal, Kyogre, Calm Mind Arceus formes, and Eternatus. Tyranitar is also a good partner, as it aids in checking Yveltal and Eternatus while potentially trapping Mega Gengar. Cleric support from the aformentioned Chansey and Diancie is also vital, as with just small amounts of chip damage, Zacian-C can break through Quagsire. Entry hazard removal is especially important, as Quagsire must be able to switch into Zacian-C reliably, and so Defoggers such as Ho-Oh, support Arceus formes, and Giratina are vital, and Magic Bounce users such as Mega Diancie and Mega Sableye are especially helpful for also countering Ferrothorn, which otherwise takes advantage of Quagsire.
