Floatzel is a niche but extremely threatening wallbreaker and pivot thanks to its strong Attack and Speed stats and powerful STAB move in Wave Crash. Flip Turn allows Floatzel to act as a fast pivot against its problematic matchups such as Bellibolt, Goodra, and Altaria. Aqua Jet allows Floatzel to revenge kill Pokemon like Salazzle, Minior, and Paldean Tauros-F. Ice Spinner is good coverage, targetting Grass- and Dragon-types such as Wo-Chien, Venusaur, and Altaria. Tera Water boosts Wave Crash to incredible levels, allowing Floatzel to OHKO bulky Florges and Copperajah and 2HKO Dudunsparce and Bellibolt, while also making Aqua Jet 2HKO Hisuian Sneasel.
Floatzel generally finds itself on balance and offense needing good speed control and consistent offensive pressure. Floatzel will often switch onto the battlefield a lot and is relatively frail, so it appreciates having entry hazard control from Pokemon such as Altaria, Tatsugiri, and Cramorant to allow it to be more potent, with the latter two also benefitting from Floatzel chipping down their shared checks such as Venusaur and Goodra. Floatzel also appreciates having entry hazards of its own from partners like Rhydon, Mudsdale, and Qwilfish to help wear down Floatzel's few common switchins such as Bellibolt, Wo-Chien, and Houndstone. In turn, Floatzel can help these partners pivot onto the battlefield safely with Flip Turn and deal with faster threats that threaten them such as Hisuian Decidueye, Galarian Articuno, and Paldean Tauros-F.
