⚔️ Raids
Quaquaval is the final evolution of the water-type starter Pokémon from Paldea. It’s an okay water-type raid attacker. Not the best, but can be used if you’re lacking in options. As a water-type raid attacker, Quaquaval’s best moveset is Water Gun and Liquidation, and it is strong against Ground, Rock, and Fire-type Pokémon.

🔵 Great League
Quaquaval got its community day with two new moves, including Hydro Cannon, a fantastic move every water starter eventually gets. However, this does not help Quaquaval at all as it’s extremely frail, and does not have a move combination that can stack damage fast enough. Not only that, its water and fighting dual typing make it weak to quite a few popular types in the Great League.
🟡 Ultra League
The same that’s said for the Great League applies here as well in its entirety.
🟣 Master League
Quaquaval does not perform well in the legendary-dominated Master League.
