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 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.

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.
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 balanced role. It's a special attacker with base 60 Sp. Atk. 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.
