Quaxly is a notable Rapid Spin user in LC due to its access to reliable recovery and good matchup into entry hazard setters like Pawniard and Glimmet; it can also double as a capable sweeper thanks to Moxie. Aqua Cutter gives up some power compared to Liquidation but does not make contact, which avoids activating Greavard's Fluffy and Voltorb's Static, and removes the risk of activating Pawniard's Defiant with a Defense drop. Brave Bird can be used for super effective coverage versus Grass- and Fighting-types, most notably Toedscool. Alternatively, Aqua Jet gives Quaxly priority, which can be used to threaten weakened foes without a Speed boost. Encore can lock opposing Pokemon into unfavorable moves, such as weak setup moves, gaining momentum for Quaxly's team. Quaxly can use Tera Grass for a better matchup versus Electric- and Grass-types as well as a valuable immunity to Spore from Foongus and Toedscool. Tera Flying can also be used with Brave Bird to turn Quaxly into a more potent offensive threat. Pokemon weak to Stealth Rock, such as Nymble and Larvesta, are great partners for Quaxly, as they appreciate the removal of entry hazards to be used at their full potential. Foongus is another good partner, as it can safely switch into Grass-types and provides valuable Spore support. Pokemon such as Toedscool and Wattrel check Electric-types for Quaxly.

The Quaxly's combination of good natural bulk, reliable recovery, utility with Encore and Rapid Spin ability to remove entry hazards, a fantastic ability in Moxie, and a favorable type matchup to most entry hazard setters solid typing makes Quaxly a metagame-defining force gives it a strong presence in Little Cup. With Rapid Spin, Quaxly can remove hazards to aid its teamates on common threats such as Pawniard Rapid Spin provides Quaxly not only with a way to aid its teammates by removing entry hazards while checking common Stealth Rock users like Pawniard, but with Speed boosts that it can use with the Attack boosts from its ability to sweep unprepared teams. Liquidation hurts Ground-types such as Diglett and Mudbray, forcing them out Liquidation is a hard-hitting STAB move that is especially useful for common Water-weak Pokemon such as Mudbray and Glimmet, as well as chunking spinblockers. Alternatively, Aqua Cutter gives up some power, but in return removes the risk of activating Pawniard's Defiant with a Defense drop. Encore can lock opposing Pokemon into unfavorable moves, such as Toedscool's Knock Off or Stealth Rock weak attacks or setup moves, generating momentum. Alternatively, Brave Bird can be used as its for super effective coverage verses Toedscool as well as Mankey and Deerling against otherwise troublesome Grass-types. Quaxly can use Tera Grass to give it a better matchup verses Eletric-Types versus Electric- and Grass-types such as Voltorb and Magnemite aswell as Magnemite and Toedscool, as well as a valuable immunity to Spore from Foongus and Toedscool. Tera Flying can also be used with Brave Bird to turn Quaxly into a more potent offensive threat.

Pokemon weak to Stealth Rock, such as Nymble and Larvesta, are great partners for Quaxly, as they appreciate Quaxly removing hazards the removal of entry hazards to be more effective in their roles. Larvesta in particular is useful as it checks the grass types that otherwise wall Quaxly without Brave Bird has great synergy, as it counters the Grass-types that can give Quaxly trouble. Foongus is another good partner, (AC) as it switches into Spores from Toedscruel and opposing Foongus which otherwise cripple Quaxly can usually switch into Grass- and Electric-types and provide Spore support. Ground-types such as Mudbray and Diglett checks Electric-types that threaten Quaxly out; Diglett can also trap these electric-types enabling Quaxly to spin more safely. also check Electric-types, with Diglett in particular making a fantastic partner as Arena Trap can completely discourage Choice Scarf Magnemite from committing to an Electric-type attack.

We use it for its crit chance.) Encore can lock opposing Pokemon into unfavorable moves, such as weak setup moves, gaining momentum.(Mention specific situations like Quaxly mirror matchups where having Encore is beneficial) Alternatively, Brave Bird can be used as its super effective coverage verses Grass-Types, which are otherwise problematic for Quaxly. Quaxly can use Tera Grass to give it a better matchup verses Eletric-Types and Grass-Types aswell as a valuable immunity to Spore from Foongus and Toedscool.

Larvesta in particular is useful as it checks the grass types that otherwise trouble Quaxly without Brave Bird. Foongus is another good partner, as it can safely switch into Grass- and Electric-types and provides valuable Spore support. Ground-types such as Mudbray and Diglett also check Electric-types, with Diglett in particular making a fantastic partner as Arena Trap can completely discourage Choice Scarf Magnemite from committing to an Electric-type attack. (Make the whole thing one paragraph please.)

Quaxly is a notable Rapid Spin user in LC due to its access to reliable recovery and good matchup into entry hazard setters like Pawniard and Glimmet; it can also double as a capable sweeper thanks to Moxie. Alternatively, (probably GP issue here) Aqua Cutter gives up some power, but in return has a good critical hit chance does not make contact, which avoids activating notably Greavard's Fluffy and Voltorb's Static, and removes the risk of activating Pawniard's Defiant with a Defense drop. ( Encore can lock opposing Pokemon into unfavorable moves, such as weak setup moves, gaining momentum. ) Move this to after Aqua Jet, as an alternative in the last moveslot Alternatively, Brave Bird can be used as it is super effective coverage verses Grass-types and Fighting-types, most notably Toedscool. Aqua Jet gives Quaxly priority, which can be used to threaten Diglett and other weakened foes without a speed boost. Quaxly can use Tera Grass to give it a better matchup verses Electric- and Grass-types aswell as a valuable immunity to Spore from Foongus and Toedscool. Tera Flying can also be used with Brave Bird to turn Quaxly into a more potent offensive threat. Pokemon weak to Stealth Rock, such as Nymble and Larvesta, are great partners for Quaxly as they appreciate the removal of hazards to be used at their full potential. Foongus is another good partner, as it can safely switch into Grass- and Electric-types and provides valuable Spore support I don't think Spore support is more useful for Quaxly specifically than for other Pokemon. Ground-types such as Mudbray Toedscool and Diglett also check Electric-types, with Diglett in particular making a fantastic partner as Arena Trap can completely discourage Choice Scarf Magnemite from committing to an Electric-type attack.
