It’s hard to do much better than Whiscash in the Great League. Whiscash is one of the best Water-types in that format, and its power rivals Swampert, Lanturn, Mantine, Quagsire, and Azumarill.

Shadow Whiscash ranks #16 in PvPoke‘s Great League rankings as of January 2023, while the regular version sat at #25.
