Is Drednaw or Quagsire more effective for a SwSh playthrough?

Jan. 25, 2022

I am playing through Sword right now (I just started, actually, i’m progressing to Turrfield to my 1st gym badge) and I have both of these. Which one is better?

I’ll give this question ago

QuagsirePros:One weakness in grassOk bulkUseful typingGood Hidden Ability

Cons:SlowLower base stats then DrednawMost of its best move are egg movesNo good coverage movesNo amazing attacking statIt’s only good ability is it’s Hidden Ability

DrednawPros:Great Attack statDecent bulkGood abilitiesGood coverageHigher base stat total

Cons:Lots of weaknessesSlowSp Defence is not too goodNot the best in important battles with its STAB moves ( e.g. gyms, rival battles)

OverallI’d choose Drednaw as it is a superior Pokémon. Definitely go for Quagsire if it seems better for you but personally Drednaw is better in most aspects
