Quagsire is a light blue, bipedal, amphibious Pokémon. Its head is broad and round, having little neck to distinguish it from the rest of Quagsire's body. It has a wide mouth and tiny, black eyes. A wavy, purple stripe runs down its back. Along its spine is a dark blue fin, which is larger on the male than on the female. Quagsire's hands and feet both have three digits. Its outer layer of skin is slimy and slippery.
Quagsire is carefree and sluggish by nature. An unintelligent Pokémon, it tends to bump its head inadvertently while swimming and seems not to care. It hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its unaware prey to blunder in. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry and can afford to wait for its food. Quagsire lives in clean bodies of freshwater and muddy swamps.
In the anime, wild Quagsire are shown to have an annual celebration at Blue Moon Falls when the moon is full. There they attempt to shoot round objects they have collected to the top of a waterfall with their attacks to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon.
A Quagsire appeared in Training Wrecks, under the ownership of Rocky. It was used in his battle against Ash. Quagsire battled Pikachu and Grovyle, alongside a Walrein. Before Pikachu could hit Walrein with its Electric attacks, Quagsire would protect Walrein from being shocked, due to its immunity to electricity, while Walrein's Ice Ball hit Grovyle and Pikachu hard. However, after the Ice Ball went slower every turn, Pikachu and Grovyle defeated Walrein and Quagsire.
