PvE Analysis

Shadow Wailord is... not great. Just leave it in the ocean where it belongs.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

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

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Zen Headbutt + ScaldBest
  • 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 Analysis

Water Gun + Surf and Hyper BeamBest

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.

Great League

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

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

Master League

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