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.

Audino Weakness
Audino's Normal/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel. It shrugs off Ghost and Dragon-type attacks completely. Audino's overall bulk (103/126/126) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Poison, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost, Dragon |
