**To use Samurott Hisui effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Water/Dark type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Samurott Hisui 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 Samurott Hisui fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Torrent, Choice Scarf and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Sacred Sword, Aqua Cutter, Ceaseless Edge, Sucker Punch, Protect, and Night Slash. 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, Samurott Hisui has important weaknesses to bug 2x, electric 2x, fairy 2x, fighting 2x, grass 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Whimsicott, Garchomp, Farigiraf, Metagross-Mega, and Talonflame appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
