Game data
Abilities

When the Pokémon is hit by a contact move, the attacker has a 30% chance of being poisoned.
- Swift Swim
Doubles the Pokémon’s Speed stat in rain.
- IntimidateHidden
When the Pokémon enters a battle, it intimidates opposing Pokémon and makes them cower, lowering their Attack stats.
Scatters poison spikes at the feet of the opposing team when the Pokémon takes damage from physical moves. Opposing Pokémon that land on these spikes when switching into battle will be poisoned. A second layer of spikes will instead badly poison. Poison-types that land on these spikes will absorb and remove them from the field.

Qwilfish is surprisingly good for a Water type. Spamming Fishious Rend does crazy damage, it heals well and stays alive forever. Mid to late game is where it really shines, especially as a staller thanks to Toxic Debris and Baneful Bunker.
