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'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.
