Building a Competitive Quaquaval Rain Team for VGC
Résumé
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community is collaborating on a unique Rain/Perish team featuring the underrated Quaquaval. This discussion explores potential final team members, including the strategic benefits of adding Mega Dragonite to handle Rillaboom and dragon-type matchups. It is a great resource for players looking to refine their competitive builds for upcoming regional events.
This is a Rain/Perish combo with a pokemon i personally consider to be underrated: Quaquavel.
The point of this team is to either kill with perish, or have Quaq sweep and kill, but i have no clue what i should have as the final mon! Doesn't have to be mega :3

I liked mr duck
But he sucks into rilla
which is why i have mengar as well :3
swapping shadow for sludge bomb btw :3
I think farig
Or tsar
Tsar if you want to also apply offensive pressure into rilla
quaq can run ice spinner tbf :3
Farig i would only do if you slap ice spinner on duck
Ye
wide lens tsa??
I would
Depends on which you prefer
If you wanna keep flip turn go tsar
Tsar also gives another uturn option
only issue imo is the flying type weakness
Oh yea tru
Wjat runs flying moves rn tho zardy
Peli
Is this for ladder or an event?
hoping to bring quaq to my first ever regional :3
You either want another string rain abuser like mega dragonite/mega swampert for a non perish mode
Or if u want to commit to perish
Get vivillon
i was considering mega dnite ngl lol
Ok so we arent playinf cheesy
Got it
I do like mega dnite here
helps with dragon matchup, nukes rilla, etc.
also helps into mirror matches
Hurricane, Thunder, Draco, Protect?
Whats draco for?
Other dragons, mainly
also strong STAB
Check calcs
If you dont need draco id go dpulse
Or i would also consider something like espeed
The only thing Modest would add is a 1/16 chance for Draco Meteor to OHKO Basculegion
