Quagsire is a fan-favorite Pokemon from Gen 2 but not all players know exactly how to beat it. Here’s everything you need to know about Quagsire’s weaknesses and resistances in Pokemon games.

Although Quagsire has been in the Pokemon franchise for more than two decades, its Paldean cousin Clodsire is getting all the attention after the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release. Now, many trainers are wondering how to defeat Quagsire in different games, from titles like Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to the popular Pokemon Go.

Here’s everything you need to know about Quagsire’s weaknesses, resistances, and immunities to defeat it in no time.

What type is Quagsire in Pokemon?

Quagsire is a dual Water and Ground-type Pokemon introduced in Gen 2 with Pokemon Gold and Silver. While it’s not an extremely popular type combination, it’s shared with Mudkip’s evolutions Marshtomp and Swampert, among others. With just one weakness and many resistances, it can be a great asset in battle.

Quagsire was introduced in the Pokemon Gold and Silver games.

As a dual Water and Ground-type Pokemon, Quagsire is only weak to Grass-type attacks. While it doesn’t sound like a lot, keep in mind that it’s a double weakness (x4) because both Ground-type and Water-type Pokemon are weak against Grass-type moves.

All Quagsire resistances in Pokemon

As a dual Water and Ground-type Pokemon, Quagsire can resist Poison, Rock, Steel, and Fire-type attacks. In mainline games, it’s also immune to Electric-type moves. Since Pokemon Go doesn’t work with immunities, Electric-type moves are resisted by Quagsire in the mobile game.

It’s important to note that in mainline games, Quagsire can have the Water Absorb Ability that makes it immune to Water-type attacks as well.

In conclusion, Quagsire can be a tough challenge for any trainer without a Grass-type Pokemon in their team. Its huge HP bar and high Defense Stat can be intimidating, but as long as trainers stick to neutral Special damage and avoid resisted types, victory is guaranteed.
