Araquanid's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Araquanid PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Araquanid isn't suitable for Raids, but for Gyms, it is quite the performer. Aside from boasting decent bulk, it also resists the common Fighting-type attacker, and its dual typing also offers advantages. Its Water subtyping removes the Fire weakness while Bug itself removes the Grass weakness associated with Water Pokémon.
