| Carracosta functions much like its fellow Water/Rock brethren: sweeping with Shell Smash or providing entry hazard support. It is one of the few Pokemon that gets the Solid Rock ability, which lets it take attacks it is weak to much better than other Water/Rock types. Another distinguishing feature of Carracosta is its usable Special Attack, which lets it run more of a mixed attacking set on offensive builds. It also has Sturdy to guarantee it gets a move off, which is helpful due to its abysmal Speed. Unfortunately, Carracosta has poor Special Defense, so even Solid Rock cannot save it from sufficiently powerful special attackers. Its Speed is also very low, often getting outsped even with a Shell Smash or Swift Swim boost.

| Stone Edge is Carracosta's strongest STAB move, having high base power but undesirable accuracy. Rock Slide can be used instead as it's more accurate, but the drop in power is obvious. Aqua Tail is a strong secondary STAB move, while Aqua Jet lets it take down faster Pokemon due to its priority. For utility sets, Scald is the preferred Water move due to its burn chance. Ice Beam is somewhat weak, but helps Carracosta take on Grass-types. Shell Smash heavily augments Carracosta's offense, but reduces its bulk, letting it perform a potential sweep. Lastly, Carracosta can set up Stealth Rock for its team, with Sturdy ensuring it gets the move off.
