- Water Attacker:
Water Gun
Aqua Tail - Poison Attacker:
Poison Sting
Sludge Wave
Qwilfish is a Water and Poison-type spiky fish Pokémon. It has low stats across the board, so it is not a good raid attacker. And unlike its Hisuian counterpart, this Qwilfish doesn’t have an evolution to rely on either.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Poison Sting
Aqua Tail
Shadow Ball - Ultra League:
Poison Sting
Aqua Tail
Shadow Ball
🔵 Great League
Qwilfish in the Great League is quite spammy and offensive. Its dual Water and Poison-typing gives it a whole host of resistances and allows it to do solid damage to a bunch of different types thanks to a wide variety of types of moves in its arsenal as well. However, it is quite frail, and its damage output doesn’t quite make up for it. As such, it faces competition from a lot of better Water-type Pokémon in the league, including its own shadow variant. As such, Qwilfish can only be recommended as a spice pick.
🟡 Ultra League
With a 2318 CP and stats to boot, Qwilfish isn’t a usable Pokémon in the Ultra League.
🟣 Master League
With a 2318 CP, Qwilfish is far too weak for the legendary-dominated Master League.
