How to use Samurott-Hisui in the current VGC format

Samurott-Hisui is listed as a Water/Dark 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 Samurott-Hisui fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Sharpness, Scope Lens and Adamant 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Aqua Cutter, Night Slash, Sacred Sword, Protect, Sucker Punch, and Detect. 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, Samurott-Hisui has important weaknesses to bug 2x, electric 2x, fairy 2x, fighting 2x, grass 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, sinistcha, incineroar, tsareena, and aegislash-shield appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
