PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Water Gun should be paired with Surf. This is Wailord’s only viable moveset on offense.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Zen Headbutt is superior to Water Gun, offering better damage and coverage.

• Scald is the superior defensive option in terms of raw power.

• Blizzard has superior counter-coverage and power, but it's also far to expensive to be generally viable.

• Surf is a worse Scald on defense.

• Hyper Beam is underwhelming in every aspect.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Water Gun + Surf and Hyper Beam

Zen Headbutt is bad, so we run Water Gun. Pair that with Surf for powerful and consistent Water-type damage. Hyper Beam is the second charged move of choice to provide strong neutral damage. Blizzard is also potentially a viable option, but does mean you perform worse against fellow Water-types like Azumarill.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1 / 5

As round as Wailord may be, a well-rounded Pokémon it is not. Despite having Snorlax-tier stamina, its Feebas-tier defense makes it faint to a swift breeze. While Wailord may be a fun Pokémon to use (especially if it’s shiny), it’s not that great.

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Wailord has the same issues in Ultra League as it does in Great, making it not particularly useful.

Master League: 0 / 5

Wailord’s low maximum CP prevents it from performing in Master.
