Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-08)
Araquanid sits at a 2.57% usage rate and rank 54 in single M-A, a tightly specialized Water/Bug support piece. Water Bubble is locked in at 100%, doubling its own Water-type damage and halving Fire damage taken. The 42 base Speed trades for 132 Special Defense, letting it soak physical hits and return fire under Sticky Web.
Playstyle:The set revolves around Sticky Web: 23.7% lead with the web, then pivot out, turning its 42 base Speed from a liability into a tool. 18.3% carry Mirror Coat to retaliate special attackers, while 15.8% run Liquidation for direct damage under Water Bubble's boost. The 17.6% Adamant spread (32/32/0/0/2/0) maximizes physical Liquidation output, whereas 22.3% Impish and 23.5% Bold bulk up the defenses for a mid-game anchor. Wacan Berry at 35.5% lets it pivot into Electric-type attacks, Focus Sash at 26.9% secures one free turn on the lead, and 8.8% Mental Herb clears sleep and Taunt disruption.
Doubles usage is a fringe 0.42% at rank 104. Water Bubble is locked at 99.6%, and Araquanid functions as a Wide Guard-supporting retaliator.
Playstyle:Liquidation at 22.5% serves as the main Water STAB hit, while 21.2% run Wide Guard to shield teammates from spread moves. 20.9% Protect gives tempo control and 14.4% Leech Life provides reliable recovery under the Bubble boost. The 35.7% Brave spread (32/32/2/0/0/0) dumps everything into Attack and ditches Speed, turning Araquanid into a slow, hard-hitting pivot that pairs Protect with Wide Guard to bait opponents.
