Speed leads and HP gets almost nothing. That's Wugtrio's stat line in a nutshell. 2 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Tough to catch and yields 2 Speed EVs.
It has a vicious temperament, contrary to what its appearance may suggest. It wraps its long bodies around prey, then drags the prey into its den.
A variety of fish Pokémon, Wugtrio was once considered to be a regional form of Dugtrio.
Electric and Grass moves hit Wugtrio for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. At base 120 Speed, Wugtrio outspeeds most threats and doesn't need to tank what it can outrun.

Wiglett evolves into Wugtrio at level 26. Wugtrio is the fully evolved form. It sits at 425 BST in its evolved form.
It depends on your team. Wugtrio at 425 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Water coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
We rate Wugtrio B-Tier: a solid choice for the right team. At 425 BST, it fits the sweeper role. Base 120 Speed stands out.
Gooey lowers attacking Pokémon's Speed by one stage on contact. That's the one you want on Wugtrio. Sand Veil is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Rattled works too if your team needs something different.
Wugtrio joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 1 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
