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.
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
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.
No evolution chain to worry about here. Audino is a standalone Pokemon with a decent partner pool for breeding through one egg group. Eggs come out average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed Audino easily with 41 breeding partners from the Fairy egg group. Pass egg moves like Healing Wish, Sweet Kiss, Wish and 1 more to offspring.
One guaranteed turn is all Audino needs. Focus Sash buys it, max HP and Sp. Def EVs make it count, and Regenerator adds something extra. The goal: deal early damage and deal damage with Entrainment. Utility options gives it play beyond just the lead turn.

STAB runs through Giga Impact and Hyper Beam for the basics, but Audino's real strength is the 12-type coverage spread. Fairy and Psychic 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.
