PvE Analysis

Hisuian Samurott actually has a higher Attack stat than normal Samurott, and it also has access to Water Fall. This alone means that it's a Pokemon with genuine potential for the future, but it's definitely going to need Hydro Cannon to see genuine utility in thatĀ future. It's okay as a Water or Dark Type as-is, but it's also not exactly great.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Waterfall + Razor ShellBest
Snarl + Dark PulseBest
  • WaterfallĀ andĀ Razor ShellĀ is the way to go for a Water Type moveset
  • SnarlĀ andĀ Dark PulseĀ is the pick for a Dark Type moveset
  • Fury CutterĀ andĀ X-ScissorĀ can work if in a pinch, butĀ  it's pretty underwhelming.
  • Icy WindĀ isn't worth considering.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Waterfall + Razor Shell, Icy Wind, X-Scissor, or Dark PulseBest
  • WaterfallĀ is the best overall option for a defensive Fast Move due to its higher power, thoughĀ SnarlĀ is also good. Both have great neutral coverage, so the best option depends on the Charged Move of choice.
  • Razor ShellĀ is a contender for Charged Move option thanks to STAB, and it also comes out frequently and is very hard to dodge.
  • Icy WindĀ has coverage against a number of threatening Pokemon and is definitely worth considering.
  • X-ScissorĀ is great as well, though it's more frequently resisted.
  • Dark PulseĀ has high power and neutral coverage, but it doesn't come out as frequently.

PvP Analysis

Fury Cutter + Dark Pulse & Icy Wind

Fury Cutter provides high energy generation, allowing Hisuian Samurott to spam Icy Wind for debuffs or Dark Pulse for raw damage.

Great League1 / 5
Hisuian Samurott is spammy and can throw out some nice debuffs with Icy Wind, but it's honestly not extremely effective in reality.
Ultra League0 / 5
The monsters of this league can drop Hisuian Samurott in fairly short order.
Master League0 / 5
Nope.
