Walking Wake Best Moveset
Water/Dragon at 125 Sp. Atk and 109 Speed with AbilityProtosynthesis boosting the highest stat under sun. The moveset fires special Water and Dragon TermStab at solid pace. 99 HP and 91 Defense provide moderate physical bulk. MoveHydro Steam is a Water move that stays at full power under sun. S-Tier because Hydro Steam means sun doesn't nerf the Water TermStab.
Walking Wake reached S-Tier in Gen IX, competing at the highest level. This was Walking Wake's competitive peak. Its most popular set ran Protosynthesis with Choice Specs, favoring a Timid nature.
