Qwilfish @ Black Sludge
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Liquidation
- Gunk Shot
- Aqua Jet
Qwilfish just keeps swimming through the ZU tier! Thanks to its unique defensive typing and ability Intimidate, Qwilfish finds a role as a solid Swords Dance sweeper! After a Swords Dance, the combination of Liquidation and Gunk Shot allows Qwilfish to rip through some of the sturdiest physical walls in the tier, such as Regirock and Dipplin. Aqua Jet allows Qwilfish to surprise fast but frail foes like Charizard and Jolteon. Pivot support from teammates such as Magneton and Mesprit helps Qwilfish position itself effectively. Offensively oriented teams should pair Qwilfish with other setup sweepers such as Frosmoth and Oricorio-G, while balance teams should aim to support Qwilfish with defensive teammates such as Hisuian Decidueye, which can remove entry hazards as well. Additionally, teammates that can provide entry hazard support, such as Sandslash and Mesprit, are great, as it makes it difficult for Qwilfish's checks to repeatedly switch in.
