FIELD NOTES / #912
Quaxly in PokeSurvivor
Quaxly starts with Water Gun and has more HP than Sobble or Froakie. Its 99 speed and 1.06× attack make the choice a specific HP-for-pace tradeoff, rather than a water-stat record.

See the tier method and full tableWhat Quaxly's stats tell you
Quaxly has 95 HP, 1.06× attack and 99 speed in the 29-starter snapshot. It exceeds Sobble's 92 HP and Froakie's 88, but does not lead water starters for HP: Slowpoke reaches 110. Neither its attack nor speed leads the water group.
The three-stat formula puts Quaxly in A tier. That classification describes a composite of normalized base values, not ease of play or a beginner win rate. Water Gun, card choices and how often enemies connect are not measured by it.
Starting move: Water Gun
Quaxly's starting move is Water Gun, not Bubble. The pinned starter mapping names Water Gun, whose definition is a water projectile with pierce set to 1. The move is shared with Sobble and Froakie, allowing a direct comparison of their starting stats.
Water Gun's move evolution is Scald. In the pinned revision, level 5 Water Gun plus an attack upgrade taken during the current run makes the gold evolution card eligible. This is a move upgrade path, not a Pokémon evolution route, and it is not granted automatically.
Quaxly compared with Sobble and Froakie
Against Sobble, Quaxly gains 3 HP but loses 8 speed points and 0.02 attack multiplier: 95/1.06×/99 versus 92/1.08×/107. Sobble's higher attack and speed together produce the higher composite score.
Against Froakie, Quaxly gains 7 HP and 0.02 attack multiplier but loses 9 speed points. Both sit in A tier despite different distributions. Choosing between them on stats means deciding whether the extra HP or extra movement speed is more relevant to your next run; this guide has not tested that outcome.
Finding Quaxly in the roster
Quaxly is #912, a generation 9 water partner listed as a starter and mapped to Water Gun. Its inclusion establishes a starting-partner entry in this revision, rather than a claim about every account's unlock state or a particular gacha drop rate.
Common questions about Quaxly
Does Quaxly start with Bubble?
No. The pinned starter mapping assigns Water Gun. Do not substitute a different water move based on another Pokémon's starting setup.
Does Quaxly have the highest HP of the water starters?
No. It has more HP than Sobble and Froakie, but Slowpoke has 110 compared with Quaxly's 95.
Are Quaxly and Froakie equivalent because both are A tier?
No. Quaxly has more HP and attack, while Froakie has 9 more speed points. A shared tier groups their composite scores; it does not make their individual stats equal.

Game data is fixed to revision c31715d. Base stats and starter selection were first checked on 2026-10-15; move definitions were checked on 2026-10-16. Later game updates may differ. Practical suggestions here are inferences from those definitions, not controlled run tests.
