Strategy Overview

Qwilfish is a curious little puffer fish. On one hand, it has mediocre stats and paper-thin defenses, popping at a single touch. On the other hand, it has assets that other Pokemon could only dream of having. With its Swift Swim ability, Qwilfish becomes the fastest Spiker in the rain, while access to Taunt, Explosion, and Destiny Bond allow it shut down numerous walls. Its Poison typing means that it can absorb the dreaded Toxic Spikes that plague many Ubers. With Swords Dance, Qwilfish can also become a deadly sweeper. Play Qwilfish to its strengths, and it will not disappoint.
