Mid-stage Pokemon like Whismur rarely see competitive play outside of special formats. It's a waypoint on the road to Exploud, which is where the real potential kicks in. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively. Known as the Whisper Pokemon.
Nothing fancy in Whismur's spread. It leans mixed with HP out front. And you'll get 1 HP EV per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Usually, its cries are like quiet murmurs. If frightened, it shrieks at the same volume as a jet plane.
Whismur Weakness
GoodFighting-type moves hit Whismur for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Whismur's Normal typing only leaves 1 gap to cover.

Soundproof protects against sound-based moves — that's the one you want on Whismur. Rattled is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Whismur is leaning toward the physical side (base 51 Attack). Fragile — can't afford to take many hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 28 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
