Game8's Competitive Damage Calculator
Eviolite, an Impish Nature, physically defensive EV investments, and a good Dark / Poison typing all make up for a sturdy physically defensive Hisuian Qwilfish. Use this to your advantage by positioning Hisuian Qwilfish against physically offensive opponents.
Hisuian Qwilfish's Singles and Doubles Builds have Taunt and Icy Wind respectively, which it can use to disrupt and delay your opponent's gameplan. These moves can help support your team and give them better opportunities at going on the offensive.
Hisuian Qwilfish enjoys teammates that can switch in for it. Teammates that can fly or have Levitate are good teammates for it to have, as they can switch into Hisuian Qwilfish's only weakness, Ground.
Physical Tank | Physical Attacker | Special Attacker |
---|---|---|
Hisuian Qwilfish | Dragonite | Gholdengo |
After Hisuian Qwilfish has successfully taunted an opponent and prevented it from setting up, Dragonite can come in and set up Dragon Dance. Gholdengo is good to have in the back as a switch-in for Ice Moves intended for Dragonite. It is also a good matchup against most Fairy-types.
Physical Tank | Physical Attacker |
---|---|
Hisuian Qwilfish | Dragonite |
Special Attacker | Special Attacker |
Iron Bundle | Gholdengo |
Similar to the Singles Build, Hisuian Qwilfish and Dragonite can work together to gather KOs for your team. Iron Bundle matches favorably against Ground-types who may give Gholdengo and Hisuian Qwilfish a difficult time, while Gholdengo is a powerful Special Attacker that can go up against Fairy-types that Dragonite may have trouble with.
Hisuian Qwilfish does not enjoy going head to head with powerful offensive Ground-types. Use Ground-type Attacks and overwhelm Hisuian Qwilfish
