Pokemon Go Quaquaval best PvP moveset
Quaquaval’s best moveset for PvP consists of Wing Attack as a Fast Move and Liquidation as a Charged Move.
Even though it doesn’t benefit from STAB, Wing Attack has high energy generation, which can help Quaquaval access its Charged Move faster. Plus, it offers a better coverage range.
As a Charged Move, Liquidation is the best option as it deals a good amount of damage for a very low cost, while also having a 30% chance of debuff.
Close Combat is another very good option with strong damage at a low cost that also benefits from STAB. However, it has a self-debuff that could harm Quaquaval during battle, so be wary about it.
GAME FREAK/THE POKEMON COMPANYPokemon Go Quaquaval best Raid moveset
The best moveset for Quaquaval in Raids is Water Gun as its Fast Move paired with Liquidation as its Charged Move.
Water Gun is Quaquaval’s best Fast Move with the only other option being Wing Attack. Though not a terrible move in its own right, Wing Attack does not benefit from STAB giving Water Gun the edge given its faster charge time.
Similarly, Liquidation is Quaquaval’s strongest Water-type Charged Move, so you can go with it to benefit from the pairing with Water Gun and STAB.
However, if you can afford a secondary Charged Move, you should go with Close Combat, as it’s the Dancer Pokemon’s only Fighting-type move. This combination will give Quaquaval better coverage to deal with Normal, Steel, Ice, and Dark types.
