Best Qwilfish Builds in Pokemon Champions

Qwilfish has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Intimidate support build is the safest option, while the Swift Swim attacker build fits rain teams.

Build 1: Intimidate Utility Support

This is the main Qwilfish build. It uses Intimidate and support moves to weaken physical attackers and create safer turns for teammates.

Build 2: Swift Swim Rain Attacker

This version turns Qwilfish into a fast rain attacker. It works best with Politoed or another rain setter.

Best Items for Qwilfish

Focus Sash is the safest item for support builds because Qwilfish is useful even if it only survives long enough to disrupt.

Life Orb is the best damage item for Swift Swim rain attacker sets.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Qwilfish

Qwilfish works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Qwilfish Is Good Against

Qwilfish is strong against Fire, Fairy and some Fighting-type Pokemon. Intimidate makes it useful into physical attacking teams.

Poison Jab gives Qwilfish a direct way to punish Fairy-type Pokemon.

Potential Counters for Qwilfish
