Watch out for Electric, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Psychic-type moves when using Quaquaval. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Quaquaval's performance.

With a max CP of 3,411 and base stats of 236/159/198, its overall performance in raids falls behind top-tier competitors.

Keep one for your collection but skip the power-up investment for now.
