Strategy Overview
Quagsire is one of the best physical walls in the STABmons metagame because of Unaware, an excellent defensive typing that leaves it with only one weakness in Grass, and decent natural bulk. These attributes allow it to act as a blanket check to most setup sweepers. Its only weakness, Grass, is also rarely seen on physical attackers, and it has access to reliable recovery in Recover, which allows it to stay healthy. Thanks to these traits, Quagsire finds itself a home on many stall teams. However, it has mediocre Special Defense, making it ineffective at checking special attackers, and it generally lacks offensive presence. Its physical bulk is decent but not amazing, so it fails to wall more powerful physical attackers such as Life Orb Landorus-T and Azumarill. Quagsire's sets are also extremely predictable because they are usually all identical.
