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.

PVE Overview

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… dear God! What is that giant thing on top of the gym?!?! And what’s it doing to that Skitty?!?!

Wailord is a ridiculous addition to gyms due to its gargantuan model size. Wailord isn’t the worst addition to gyms either, sporting the 4th highest HP in the game and a naturally low motivation decay rate (due to its low CP). However, its bulk is compromised by double-digit Def.

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.
