What's best nature for this guy? His stats are all over

Relaxed. just got done training my own

Adamant is mostly prefered? but you could make a case for a special Araquanid if you feel that an Azumarill would be doing the physical job too much better than it? because there isn't a special Azumarill?

This is one huge fucking bug

How big was scolipede again

Well that 132 Sp.Def certainly makes it look like he's meant to be a special wall of sorts, but doesn't really have the HP to go full tank.

Does his water ability mean that his water moves get doubled in power? cause that could be amazing in combination with his new liquidation move. the defense drops it gives also make up for his lackluster attack stat.

Yes, Water Bubble doubles the BP of Water-type moves.

Any nature that reduces SPD or SP. ATK and raises ATK, DEF, or SP. DEF is good for Araquanid.

Depend on how you want to use him. Some people ran Liquidation + Scald to cover both side.

Araquanid has more attack than Azumarill.

Does his Lunge move have any special effects? little info out on it atm.

>>30166564
Lowers attack

I've been running adamant, works well in VGC format but can be harder to use in singles.

when does it learn a physical water move? I'm still stuck with Scald and have to rely on Bug for stab physical

You can teach it Waterfall, or it learns Liquidation at 57

I'm using it as a support alongside Golisopod, probably more mons after some experiments.

Impish Nature, 252 HP / 252 Atk
Entrainment - Liquidation - Soak - Lunge

I couldn't find the NPCs who give waterfall and surf, so I was stuck with bubblebeam for most of the game. What's nice is that the move reminder lets you teach any move from the pokemon's movepool, regardless of whether it actually learned it at one time or not, so I taught it Liquidation as soon as I hit the Pokemon League.

Brave or Relaxed seem best to me.
