Squawkabilly Weakness

Squawkabilly's Normal/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, and Rock. It shrugs off Ground and Ghost-type attacks completely. Squawkabilly leans offensive (base 96 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Legends: Z-A Squawkabilly Best Moveset

You commit to a move every time Squawkabilly comes in. Choice Scarf gives speed patching through item lock, and Intimidate adds to that. Max Attack and Speed EVs make sure the locked move actually hurts. The remaining moves covers the rest.

Moves

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Squawkabilly picks up Fly and Brave Bird along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Bug and Fire coverage and more, but the foundation's already strong by then.

How to Get Squawkabilly in Legends: Z-A

Squawkabilly can't be caught in Legends: Z-A. Bring it over from Scarlet instead. The encounter info below covers the source games.

Squawkabilly is not available as a wild encounter in this game.

Catch in the wild in:

ScarletOverworld · East Province (Area Three)

Then trade to Legends: Z-A.

Squawkabilly Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, watch for Raikou (Electric), Walrein (Ice), and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Squawkabilly. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • For Legends: Z-A, it depends on your team. Squawkabilly at 417 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Normal/Flying coverage might be exactly what you're missing.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Intimidate changes the entire equation for Squawkabilly. The 417 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Parting Shot with Choice Scarf is the standard set.

  • Intimidate is what you want on Squawkabilly. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Hustle, Guts) work on paper but Intimidate is what makes Squawkabilly worth using.

  • Squawkabilly's best stat is Attack at base 96. Normal/Flying gives decent defensive coverage with 4 resistances.

Game Availability

Squawkabilly joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
