Hisuian Samurott serves as crucial role on Water teams, with its Dark typing and powerful offensive capabilities allowing it to serve as an incredible late-game cleaner against teams such as Ghost and Dragon teams. Ceaseless Edge provides both Spikes support and enables Hisuian Samurott to break through targets like Water Absorb Clodsire, Gholdengo, and Toxapex after a Swords Dance boost. Sacred Sword enables Hisuian Samurott to OHKO Archaludon after a Swords Dance boost and Spikes chip damage, which is otherwise a major issue for Water teams, along with safely KOing Bisharp. Alternatively, Aqua Cutter provides a reliable option to hit foes like Great Tusk and Klefki. Finally Sucker Punch provides crucial speed control for Water teams, enabling Hisuian Samurott to handle Latios and Choice-locked Dragapult as well as Flutter Mane after a Swords Dance boost.

Swampert and Empoleon serve as great defensive partners for Hisuian Samurott, as both are able to Stealth Rock and use their slow Flip Turn to safely pivot Hisuian Samurott in. Swampert can also help Hisuian Samurott thanks to its key Electric immunity that enables it to beat Raging Bolt and Sandy Shocks, while Empoleon's Steel typing allows it to check Fairy-type threats like Hatterene and Galarian Weezing reliably. Toxapex appreciates Hisuian Samurott removing Psychic-types like Hoopa-U and Latios and in return handles Grass- and Fighting-types like Meowscarada, Sneasler, and Keldeo. Choice Specs Greninja uses its solid coverage and Protean to handle foes like the Ogerpon formes and Iron Valiant with Sludge Wave and Okidogi and Quaquaval with Extrasensory, while Hisuian Samurott can remove special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra for Greninja. Primarina assists by being able to deal with Fighting- and Dragon-types like Zamazenta, Keldeo, and Roaring Moon and appreciates the Spikes set by Hisuian Samurott wearing down checks like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk. Pelipper provides rain support with Drizzle, increasing the threat level of Hisuian Samurott's Aqua Cutter and enabling it to consistently 2HKO foes like Galarian Weezing and Skarmory. Pelipper can also use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots off of foes like Empoleon and Amoonguss, increasing the potency of Hisuian Samurott's Spikes, and its Drizzle grants teams access to rain sweepers like Barraskewda and Kingdra, which can help in breaking through targets Hisuian Samurott can't; Barraskewda outspeeds and removes Flutter Mane and offensive Zapdos, while Kingdra cleans through Raging Bolt and Roaring Moon. Ogerpon-W helps Hisuian Samurott by handling Water-types like Urshifu-R and Rotom-W, and its Grass typing enables it to check Electric-types like Sandy Shocks.

Hisuian Samurott serves as crucial role on Water teams with its Dark typing enabling it to take on the problematic Ghost types of the tier like Gholdengo and Dragapult which can serve as major issues otherwise. Ceaseless Edge provides both Spikes support and enables Samurott-H to break through targets like Water Absorb Clodsire, Gholdengo, and Amoonguss after a Swords Dance. Aqua Cutter provides a safe reliable option to hit foes like Skarmory Great Tusk (This is a very sketchy matchup as Skarmory can click Iron Defense and eventually win with Body Press) and Ceruledge (You're hitting Ceruledge with Ceaseless Edge as well and the accuracy difference isn't massive, Klefki is a better example). Alternatively Sacred Sword can be used to enable Hisuian Samurott to OHKO Archaludon after a Swords Dance and Spikes chip along with safely removing Bisharp. Finally Sucker Punch provides crucial speed control for Water teams enabling Hisuiam Samurott to handle Latios and Choice locked Dragapult as well as Flutter Mane after a Swords Dance.

Swampert and Empoleon serve as great defensive partners for Hisuian Samurott as both are able to Stealth Rock and use their slow Flip Turn to safely pivot Hisuian Samurott in. Swampert can also help Hisuian Samurott thanks to its Ground typing providing a key electric immunity enabling it to beat Raging Bolt and Magnezone (Sacred Sword kills after a Swords Dance, would rather put Sandy Shocks here) while Empoleon's Steel typing allow it to check Fairy-type threats like Hatterene and Galarian Weezing reliably. Toxapex appreciates Hisuian Samurott removing Psychic-types like Hoopa-U and Galarian Slowking and in return Toxapex handles Grass- and Fighting-types like Meowscarada, Sneasler, and Keldeo. Choice Specs Greninja serves as a special attacking compliment to Hisuain Samurott using its solid coverage and Protean ability to handle foes like the Ogerpon formes and Iron Valiant with Sludge Wave or Okidogi and Quaquaval with Extrasensory while Hisuian Samurott can remove Special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra for Greninja. Primarina assists by being able to deal with Fighting- and Dragon-types like Zamazenta, Keldeo, and Roaring Moon (Choice Scarf Roaring Moon doesn't OHKO you with any of its moves and you threaten it with Sacred Sword but Dragon Dance sets exist and U-turn can wear Hisuian Samurott considerably so you an keep it, just wanted to bring it up if perhaps you'd want a more one-sided matchup here or if the second QC'er had some gripes as well) and appreciates the Spikes set up by Hisuian Samurott wearing down checks like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk. Pelipper provides Rain support with Drizzle increasing the threat level of Hisuian Samurott's Aqua Cutter enabling it to consistently 2HKO foes like Galarian Weezing and Skarmory (For the same reason as before, I'd use a different example, however, with Rain and a Swords Dance you pretty much always beat Skarmory so if you want to keep it take out that last part about not requiring an Attack boost) even without a Swords Dance boosts along with Pelipper being able to use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty boots off foes like Empoleon and Amoonguss increasing the potency of Hisuian Samurott's Spikes. Ogerpon-W can assists Hisuian Samurott by handling Water-types like Urshifu-R and Rotom-W along with its Grass typing enabling it to check Electric-types like Sandy Shocks.

Alternatively Sacred Sword can be used to enable Hisuian Samurott to OHKO Archaludon after a Swords Dance and Spikes chip along with safely removing Bisharp.

Choice Specs Greninja serves as a special attacking compliment to Hisuain Samurott using its solid coverage and Protean ability to handle foes like the Ogerpon formes and Iron Valiant with Sludge Wave or Okidogi and Quaquaval with Extrasensory while Hisuian Samurott can remove Special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra for Greninja.

So you’ll dd frens like barra/kingdrain the same sentence too).
