Quaquaval is listed as a Water/Fighting type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Quaquaval fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Moxie, Mystic Water and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Wave Crash, Close Combat, Aqua Jet, Detect, Aqua Step, and Protect. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Quaquaval has important weaknesses to electric 2x, fairy 2x, flying 2x, grass 2x, psychic 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as whimsicott, floette-mega, typhlosion-hisui, tsareena, and dragapult appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
