CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Quaquaval draws attention with dances evoking distant lands. This spectacle rests on very powerful legs: a single kick can send a truck rolling. Its decorative water feathers do more than embellish its movements; their cutting motions can strike an opponent. The Pokédex thus shows a dance combining expression and combat. Each step can captivate an audience but can also prepare a precise attack.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Scarlet compares the force of Quaquaval's kick with that needed to move a truck. Pokémon Violet describes its water feathers as elements of dance whose movements can also slice its enemies.
