Strategy Overview
Qwilfish is still Tentacruel's little brother, but Spikes are much better in Advance than they were in GSC, so Qwilfish is a valuable part of any UU team. The last set listed is also an incredible surprise Pokemon and will almost always kill something. Without Spikes it'd be insanely mediocre, but with them it's a pretty good UU. Always consider this fish for any UU team you might be making.
