Quaquaval @ Leftovers / Lum Berry
Ability: Moxie
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Aqua Step
- Close Combat
- Knock Off / Triple Axel
Quaquaval is making waves with its flamboyant dance moves! Swords Dance turns Quaquaval into a terrifying sweeper, allowing it to threaten even defensive Pokemon like Skamory and Mandibuzz with 2HKOs. Aqua Step pairs well with Moxie by simultaneously boosting Speed and dealing damage. Knock Off hits Psychic- and Ghost-types like Slowking and Sinistcha while allowing Quaquaval to make progress on defensive switch-ins like Toxapex and Skarmory even if it's not immediately able to sweep. Triple Axel is an alternative that threatens Pokemon like Hydrapple, Clodsire, and Salamence. Leftovers helps Quaquaval to set up and make progress more reliably, whereas Lum Berry provides insurance against Will-O-Wisp Rotom-W and Thunder Wave Slowking. Tera Steel enables Quaquaval to tank attacks from Fairy-, Flying-, and Grass-types like Comfey, Tornadus-T, and Ogerpon, providing it with a valuable free turn. Quaquaval appreciates entry hazards set by partners like Sandy Shocks and Tyranitar, which wear down the opposing team to eventually enable a Moxie sweep. Special wallbreakers like Thundurus-T and Latios are also greatly beneficial, as they can threaten Quaquaval's checks such as Toxapex and Rotom-W.
