Stats & Training
Audino's spread favors balanced defenses over offense. HP leads the defensive side, Speed eats the cost. Yields 2 HP EVs per defeat. Fast 800K XP curve to level.
Audino’s sense of hearing is superb. Not even a pebble rolling along over a mile away will escape Audino’s ears.
This Pokémon has a kind heart. By touching with its feelers, Audino can gauge other creatures’ feelings and physical conditions.
Audino Weakness
Audino's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. With 103 HP and balanced defenses, Audino can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

STAB runs through Giga Impact and Hyper Beam for the basics, but Audino's real strength is the 11-type coverage spread. Fairy and Ice hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

Audino Guide
Don't let Audino's 445 base stat total fool you. Regenerator is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a support.
Yes. Mega Audino hits 545 BST, a solid jump from the base 445. Hold the Mega Stone, trigger it in battle, and it lasts the whole fight. One Mega per team.
Watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Audino. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Run Regenerator on Audino. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Audino also gets Healer and Klutz, but they don't compare.
Audino fills the support role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 60 Attack). Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Audino first appeared in Black & White and spans 8 games across 6 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 6, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
