Don't let the raw stats fool you. Regenerator recovers a third of its HP every time it switches out, and that completely changes the math for Audino. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively.
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.
Using the feelers on its ears, it can tell how someone is feeling or when an egg might hatch.
Audino Weakness
GoodAudino's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting moves. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. With 103 HP and balanced defenses, Audino can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
No evolution chain to worry about here. Audino is a standalone Pokemon with no compatible partners for breeding through one egg group. Eggs come out average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed Audino easily from the Fairy egg group. Pass egg moves like Amnesia, Bestow, Encore and 7 more to offspring.
This build takes hits and hits back. Leftovers provides passive recovery each turn, Regenerator supports the gameplan, and max HP and Sp. Atk EVs mean Audino doesn't crumble to chip damage. Plus Fire coverage backing it up.

STAB runs through Hyper Beam and Last Resort for the basics, but Audino's real strength is the 12-type coverage spread. Ice and Electric hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

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.
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.
Audino doesn't evolve and has no evolutionary line. It's a Normal-type Pokemon with a 445 base stat total.
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.
Audino appears in 8 games, including Black & White, Black 2 & White 2, and X & Y.
Introduced in Black & White, Audino has appeared in 8 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
