[SET COMMENTS]
Great defensive typing, decent physical bulk, and a good ability in Unaware make Quagsire a staple on stall teams, capable of checking threats such as Escavalier, Darmanitan, and, importantly, dangerous setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Cobalion, Lucario, and Doublade that would otherwise shred the types of teams Quagsire fits on. While it faces competition with Pyukumuku as an Unaware user, Quagsire sets itself apart with its Ground typing and reduced passivity, meaning Pokemon such as Roserade and Heliolisk have to be wary when switching into it. However, Quagsire is significantly weighed down by its mediocre Special Defense, making it easily overwhelmed by Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Choice Specs Sylveon, and Chandelure. Quagsire is also rather passive, leaving it vulnerable to threats such as Celebi, Sylveon, and Swords Dance Pangoro. Toxic threatens Pokemon such as Noivern and Golisopod that would otherwise take advantage of Quagsire for free turns.
Umbreon is an excellent partner for Quagsire, as it can switch into Pokemon such as Necrozma, Heliolisk, and Chandelure that threaten it out while providing useful Wish and Heal Bell support. In return, Quagsire can check Cobalion and Lucario for Umbreon, which would otherwise exploit it for free turns. Galarian Weezing and Noivern can check Fighting-types such as Sirfetch'd for Quagsire, while both also provide Defog support to prevent Quagsire from being worn down by entry hazards. Galarian Weezing in particular is an important partner for its ability to switch into Choice Band Pangoro and Tsareena reliably. Assault Vest Reuniclus can check special attackers such as Toxtricity, Heliolisk, and Roserade that threaten Quagsire out. Steel-types such as Escavalier and Bronzong check Roserade and Celebi for Quagsire while appreciating Quagsire checking Incineroar and Darmanitan for them. Arcanine can check Copperajah for Quagsire and reliably check Choice Specs Sylveon.
