Choice Band Floatzel's great offensive STAB type and fantastic Speed make it a powerful pivot, wallbreaker, and revenge killer. Flip Turn lets Floatzel keep up momentum for its team while dealing chip damage and finishing off weakened foes. Aqua Jet lets Floatzel pick off faster Pokemon such as Jolteon and Choice Scarf Typhlosion and Speed-boosting setup sweepers like Frosmoth and Hisuian Sneasel. Ice Spinner provides useful coverage against Grass-types like Hisuian Decidueye, Whimsicott, and Dipplin. Ice Spinner is also useful against Pokemon that may use Tera Dragon, such as Sandaconda, Palossand, and Hisuian Qwilfish. Water Veil provides Floatzel with a burn immunity, letting it switch into Will-O-Wisp from Charizard and Scorching Sands from Palossand. Tera Water lets Floatzel OHKO Regirock after damage from Spikes or Stealth Rock and pick off Jolteon with Aqua Jet at just 62.7% health.

Floatzel's multiple offensive roles earn it niches on several different types of teams. Floatzel is an excellent addition to VoltTurn teams with Electric-type partners like Magneton and Jolteon, exerting constant offensive pressure and wearing down their shared Grass-type checks. Other offensive pivots like Passimian and Grafaiai similarly make great cores with Floatzel by keeping up constant offensive momentum. Defensive pivots like Lanturn and Articuno can give Floatzel opportunities to come in and fire off Choice Band-boosted attacks; Lanturn can check Electric-types for Floatzel, and Floatzel can return the favor by answering Ground-types for Lanturn; Articuno can impede special attackers such as Clawitzer and Whimsicott that resist Floatzel's Water-type moves and could hit it back with strong attacks. Floatzel's nearly unparalleled ability to revenge kill setup sweepers like Grafaiai, Mesprit, and Jolteon is a huge asset to more defensive teams. Floatzel struggles to break through Grass-types like Hisuian Decidueye and Dipplin on its own, so it appreciates teammates like Charizard, Weezing, and Muk that threaten them. Offensive Ice-types like Glastrier and Frosmoth menace other Grass-types like Whimsicott and Dipplin that would give Floatzel trouble, and Floatzel can threaten Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion for them in return. Other powerful offensive Pokemon such as Lycanroc and Brute Bonnet appreciate Floatzel bringing them in safely with Flip Turn. Floatzel tends to be worn down by Wave Crash's recoil and entry hazard damage, so it appreciates teammates that provide hazard removal, such as Hisuian Decidueye, Hisuian Avalugg, and Sandslash. Healing Wish users like Mesprit and Shaymin can give Floatzel a second wind to clean up the very teams it weakened. Qwilfish is a pain for Floatzel between Intimidate, chip damage from its Spikes, and Rocky Helmet damage; Floatzel appreciates checks to Qwilfish such as Rotom and Mesprit. Water Absorb Lanturn prevents Floatzel from pivoting out or spamming its STAB moves, so Floatzel relies on checks to it such as Virizion and Dipplin.

Choice Band Floatzel's great offensive STAB type, STAB options, redundant and fantastic Speed make it a powerful pivot, wallbreaker, and revenge killer. Floatzel's STAB Wave Crash deals massive super effective damage to common physically defensive Pokemon such as Sandaconda, Regirock, and Palossand. Floatzel's good Attack, the boost from Choice Band, and the high power of Wave Crash all come together to leave a dent even in physical walls like Orthworm and Pokemon that resist Water such as Whimsicott and Cramorant floof. Flip Turn lets Floatzel keep up momentum for its team while dealing chip damage and finishing off weakened foes. Aqua Jet lets Floatzel pick off faster Pokemon such as Jolteon and Choice Scarf Typhlosion and speed-boosting setup sweepers like Frosmoth and Hisuian Sneasel. Ice Spinner provides useful coverage against Grass-types like Hisuian Decidueye, Whimsicott, and Dipplin. Ice Spinner is also useful against Pokemon that may use Tera Dragon, such as Sandaconda, Palossand, and Hisuian Qwilfish. Water Veil is a nice perk for Floatzel as a physical attacker fluffand it can use its provides Floatzel with a burn immunity, letting it to switch into Will-O-Wisp from Charizard and Scorching Sands from Palossand. Tera Water pushes Floatzel's power to torrential levels, making it capable of OHKOing Regirock after chip damage from entry hazards specify and picking off Jolteon with Aqua Jet at just 62.7% health.

Floatzel's multiple offensive roles earn it niches on several different types of teams. Floatzel is an excellent addition to Volt-turn teams with Electric-type partners like Magneton and Jolteon, exerting constant offensive pressure and wearing down their shared Grass-type checks. Other offensive pivots like Passimian and Grafaiai similarly make great cores with Floatzel by keeping up constant offensive momentum. Defensive pivots like Lanturn and Articuno can give Floatzel opportunities to come in and fire off Choice Band-boosted attacks; Lanturn can check Electric-types for Floatzel, and Floatzel can return the favor by answering Ground-types for Lanturn; Articuno can impede special attackers such as Clawitzer and Whimsicott that resist Floatzel's Water-type moves and could hit it back with strong attacks. Floatzel's nearly unparalleled ability to revenge kill setup sweepers like Grafaiai, Mesprit, and Jolteon is a huge asset to more defensive teams. Floatzel struggles to break through Grass-types like Hisuian Decidueye and Virizion viriz gets 2shot by wave crash say smth like dipp instead on its own, so it appreciates teammates like Charizard, Weezing, and Muk that threaten them. Offensive Ice-types like Glastrier and Sneasel whims outspeeds and 1shots sneas, either replace sneas with something like frosmoth or change whims to another grass-type are great threats against other Grass-types like Whimsicott and Dipplin that would give Floatzel trouble, and Floatzel can check Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion for them in return. Other powerful offensive Pokemon such as Lycanroc and Brute Bonnet also appreciate Floatzel bringing them in safely with Flip Turn. Floatzel tends to be worn down by Wave Crash's recoil and entry hazard damage, so it appreciates teammates that provide hazard removal, such as Hisuian Decidueye, Hisuian Avalugg, and Sandslash. Healing Wish users like Mesprit and Shaymin can give Floatzel a second wind to clean up the very teams it weakened. Mention Qwilfish stuffing Float and teammates that beat / abuse qwil. Also mention wabsorb lanturn since it completely stops float.
