Quaxly (#912) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Paldea region (Generation 9) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,230 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Quaxly has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Quaxly in 2026.
Quaxly's Attack stat is 120 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Quaxly may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 86 Defense (Below Average) and 146 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 352. Trainers should be mindful of Quaxly's limited bulk. Compared to other Water-type Pokémon, Quaxly's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Quaxly depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Water Gun (Fast) with Aqua Jet (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Quaxly has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Quaxly can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Water typing provides useful matchups against Fire, Water, Ice-type threats while being weak to Electric, Grass types.
In Master League, Quaxly faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Quaxly's effectiveness depends on its typing and 120 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Quaxly use Electric, Grass-type moves.
Quaxly can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Quaxly is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
