A lot of Paldean Pocket Monsters were recently added to Pokemon GO by Niantic. To celebrate the arrival of the three Paldean starter creatures, Spirigatito, Quaxly, and Fuecoco, a full-fledged event was held in the game. While it is no longer live, you can still encounter these critters in the wild from time to time.

Out of the three Paldean starters, Quaxly is an interesting Water-type critter. It has two stages of evolution, Quaxwel and Quaquaval, and the latter is what we are going to analyze.

In this article, we will take a look at the best teams that you can put Quaquaval in to see how you fare in the GO Battle League.

Note: Moves marked with '*' are Legacy moves, and you will need an Elite TM to teach them to your creatures.

Quaquaval has pretty good stats on paper, and it performs fairly well in the GO Battle League as well. Since the Combat Power (CP) cap in the Ultra League of the GO Battle League is 2,500, it will give Quaquaval a bit more room to stretch its arms in this format of PvP battles, thanks to the additional bulk from a higher CP cap.

  • Galarian Weezing as the Lead (Ranked at #65 with a rating of 86.2)
  • Quaquaval as the Safe Swap (Ranked at #136 with a rating of 82.3)
