Audino Best Moveset
Held ItemAudinite adds Fairy typing with AbilityHealer and pushes defenses to a matching 126/126. 60 Sp. Atk means the moveset can't threaten anything offensively. The value is purely defensive and supportive, absorbing damage from both sides while Mega is active. 50 Speed keeps cooldowns slow.
Healer ability cured partner status in doubles in Gen V (Black & White). In singles, 103 HP and 86/86 defenses walled decently. 60/60 offenses threatened nothing.

Shiny Audino
Audino's pink gets adjusted by a shade so faint that the hearing Pokemon probably can't even hear the difference. The nurse-adjacent Normal-type was right there with a doctor's-coat-white or scrub-green alternate just waiting to happen, and instead got "same pink, different day." A wasted opportunity.
