Quaquaval

Single use sits at 0.3%, ranked 117th, making Quaquaval a fringe water-fighting attacker. Its typing hits a wide range of targets, yet it takes super effective damage from electric, grass, flying, psychic, and fairy, all of which are common special attackers. With 85 base speed, it has no natural advantage over the field and depends on set and read to move first.

Playstyle：The core loop is Moxie into snowballing offense. Choice Scarf (16.6%) and Expert Belt (54.9%) split the sets, the former seizing speed and the latter widening coverage with safety. Aqua Step (20.8%) delivers water STAB and a speed boost, making it the most common lead move. Close Combat (20.7%) and Knock Off (18.1%) cover fighting STAB and item removal. Encore (12.1%) shuts down setup or utility moves, acting as the set's tempo swing. Jolly spreads (53%) pour 32 EVs into speed to outspeed the 85 base line without Scarf, while Adamant builds lean into bulk and power.

Doubles use is 0.1%, ranked 185th, meaning Quaquaval barely appears in the format. Its water-fighting typing pressures common doubles staples like ground, rock, and ice, but the same weaknesses remain, and 85 base speed is unremarkable in doubles. Life Orb (40.2%) dominance shows reliance on item-based power, yet staying on the field is a constant struggle.

Playstyle：Doubles revolves around Life Orb-fueled sustained offense. Protect (11.9%) and Detect (7.5%) together reach 19.4%, signaling that Quaquaval often needs to survive a first hit before retaliating. Aqua Jet (7.1%) patches speed and priority gaps, while Taunt (6.4%) shuts down support moves. Moxie remains dominant (92.8%); the Torrent minority (7.2%) bets on HP-gated STAB boosts. Jolly builds lead (64.8%) with Adamant reaching 10.3% for bulk-leaning variants.
