PvP rankings (GO Battle League)
| League | Tier | Rank | Score | Recommended moves | Typical build |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great League | S | #22 / 1146 | 90.5 | Infestation · Water Pulse · Mirror Coat Araquanid gets a complete makeover in the Fast and Charged Attack departments. Infestation and Water Pulse are required to challenge Kanto Ninetales, while Mirror Coat is now its lowest energy move and actually viable. Araquanid's sheer bulk allows it to take on key meta targets. Its main threats are rival Water types like Mantine, Empoleon, and Jellicent, so it pairs well with an Electric partner. | L32 · 5/15/14 |
