After selecting your starter Pokemon, you will not be able to obtain the other two starters without the help of a trade. Since Starter Pokemon are high demand for trades, be sure to choose your favorite one initially!

Quaxly Best Nature

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant Attack, SpAtk
Jolly Speed, SpAtk

Nature Chart and How to Check Natures

Quaxly is a physical attacker, so it is recommended to use a Quaxly with a Nature that boosts its Attack stat, like Adamant. You can also opt to have Quaxly be a speed attacker and use a Nature which improves its Speed, like Jolly.

For players who want to power through the story with a powerful attacker, roll for an Adamant nature.

How to Roll for Natures

Getting the Best Nature for Quaxly
Turn off Auto-Save in the Settings
Progress until the point where you finish talking with your neighbor.
Save in front of Quaxly.
Once you can move, press the X button, and move your cursor to Pokemon.
Go to Check Summary, then go to the Memories tab
If the nature is not the one you were looking for, hit the Home button, then restart the software with X.

Following these steps, you will be able to quickly search for the nature you want for Quaxly. Each time will take about 2 to 3 minutes.

Best Teammates for Quaxly

Good Pokemon to Team with Quaxly
Fletchling ImageFletchling Paldean Wooper ImagePaldean Wooper Shinx ImageShinx

Best Team

Fletchling to Cover Quaxly's Weakness

Fletchling can learn the Fire-type move Ember, which is strong against Grass-type Pokemon which Quaxly is weak against. It will also be effective against both Bug and Grass-type Pokemon, which are the first set of Gyms that you will face.

Fletchling can be located and caught in the South Province Area.

Paldean Wooper Can Fend Off Quaxly's Weakness

Paldean Wooper, a Poison and Ground-type Pokemon, can stand well against Grass and Electric-type Pokemon which Quaxly is weak against.

Once it evolves at Lv. 20, it also becomes a durable and tanky Pokemon, and can use moves such as Yawn.

Paldean Wooper can be found in the South Province (Area Two).
