Overqwil Weakness

Overqwil is weak to Ground. On the flip side, it's immune to Psychic-type moves entirely. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Overqwil's physical bulk (base 95 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Overqwil Guide

  • In Winds & Waves, Intimidate changes the entire equation for Overqwil. The 510 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Crunch with Rocky Helmet is the standard set.

  • In Winds & Waves, Overqwil's biggest threats include Excadrill (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Intimidate is what you want on Overqwil. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Poison Point, Swift Swim) work on paper but Intimidate is what makes Overqwil worth using.

  • Base 85 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Overqwil is a physical attacker with base 115 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.

  • For Winds & Waves, the core moveset is Crunch, Swords Dance, Gunkshot, and Throatchop. Crunch leads at 12% usage. Crunch provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Overqwil joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 4 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
