Qwilfish is a premier physical wall in the tier owing to its great defensive typing and abilities, as well as a bevy of amazing utility moves including the highly coveted Spikes and Toxic. Qwilfish can wear down the opposition with its combination of Spikes and Toxic and even prevent Defog and recovery moves with Taunt. Waterfall is used over Liquidation to potentially cause flinching, which works wonders in conjunction with Toxic, although Surf can be used for a 2HKO on Sandaconda and more damage on other physically bulky Pokemon like Drifblim and Klawf. Despite Intimidate being such a high-value ability, Qwilfish typically prefers Poison Point to punish U-turn from the likes of Passimian and Scyther while not activating Passimian's Defiant in the process. Protect can be used with Leftovers for some extra recovery and also to scout moves from Choice item users like Rotom, Bruxish, and Zoroark. Upon scouting these Pokemon, Qwilfish can invert its weakness to Electric- or Psychic-type moves with a timely Terastallization to a respective Ground or Dark typing, letting it spread more poison and set more Spikes. Umbreon is a great defensive partner, sponging general special attacks while boasting an immunity to Psychic. In return, Qwilfish heavily punishes Fighting-type attacks and U-turn, while also resisting Fairy. Phasers like Dragon Tail Dudunsparce and Eelektross make great use of the Spikes Qwilfish sets up, racking up damage for a faster Pokemon to more easily sweep. Choice Scarf Passimian takes advantage of hazard damage while also punishing Defog with its Defiant ability.

Qwilfish is a premier physical wall in the tier, owing to its great defensive typing and abilities, as well as a bevy of amazing utility moves including the highly coveted Spikes and Toxic. Qwilfish can wear down the opposition with its combination of Spikes and Toxic, and even prevent Defog (the only common Defogger you outspeed is Drifblim, so idk how important this point is unless we change the EV spread a bit) and recovery moves with Taunt. Waterfall is used over Liquiation due to its flinch chance, which works wonders in conjunction with Toxic, although Surf can be used for a 2HKO on Sandaconda and more damage on other physically bulky Pokemon like Drifblim and Klawf. Despite Intimidate being such a high-value ability, Qwilfish typically prefers Poison Point to punish U-turn from the likes of Passimian and Scyther, while not activating Passimian's Defiant in the process. Protect can be used with Leftovers for some extra recovery and also scout moves (scouting for Terastallization from Drifblim/Abomasnow could be noted here, Poison Tera is quite useful on both of them) from Choice item users like Rotom, Bruxish, and Zoroark. Upon scouting these Pokemon, Qwilfish can invert its weakness to Electric or Psychic moves with a timely Terastallization to a respective Ground- or Dark-typing, letting it spread more poison and Spikes. (I personally like Steel Tera for the safer Toxic against Frosmoth and some other special attackers, up to you whether you care to add it) Umbreon is a great defensive partner for Qwilfish, sponging general special attacks while boasting an immunity to Psychic. In return, Qwilfish heavily punishes Fighting-type attacks and U-turn, while also resisting Fairy. Phasers like Whirlwind Copperajah and Dragon Tail Dudunsparce and Eelektross make great use of the Spikes Qwilfish sets up, racking up damage for a faster Pokemon to more easily sweep. Choice Scarf Passimian takes advantage of hazard damage while also punishing Defog with its Defiant ability.
