Build Notes

Araquanid is the centerpiece sweeper built entirely around Water Bubble, which doubles all Water-type damage output. Quiet nature with max Special Attack and zero Speed ensures it moves first under Trick Room. Mystic Water stacks on top of Water Bubble and rain to produce catastrophic Surf damage. Substitute blocks status and redirection while Entrainment can transfer Water Bubble to a partner. The combination of Trick Room, rain, Water Bubble, and Mystic Water makes Surf capable of KOing most targets in two hits even through resistance.
