How to use Quagsire in the current VGC format?

**To use Quagsire effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Water/Ground type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Quagsire appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Quagsire fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Damp, Leftovers and Adamant 32/15/0/0/19/0. Its frequent moves include High Horsepower, Yawn, Recover, Protect, Waterfall, and Acid Spray. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Quagsire has important weaknesses to grass 4x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Farigiraf, Torkoal, Kommo-o, Araquanid, and Skeledirge appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

MetaVGC tracks recent teams using Quagsire. Open the Quagsire teams page to compare complete structures, copy Showdown pastes and see how players combine Quagsire with other Pokémon in the active format.
