XY/ORAS Singles I need help with my Quagsire!

I'm using an OU team on Pokemon Showdown. I run a physical wall Quagsire on my team, but he doesn't seem to do his job very well. Help!

Quagsire@Chesto Berry
Ability: Unaware
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SpA
-Rest
-Surf
-Recover
-Stockpile
 
Your main problem is running two recovery moves. Drop Recover if you like Rest removing status, or drop Rest if you don't mind status too much. Swapping Surf for Scald will only increase your ability to be a physical wall, as the burn will cripple physical attackers. Toxic is a good option in lieu of one of your recovery moves to stall something out. Leftovers is a fantastic item to consider, and I would personally run it over Chesto Berry since you'll have continual recovery even while asleep.

Thanks! That's a big help!
However, I also run Leftovers on my Togekiss. I'll think of something.

EDIT: I did! The Jaboca berry causes the enemy to lose Attack if it hits me with a physical move!
