As a Water-type, Wugtrio fills a straightforward role. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Known as the Garden Eel Pokémon. Introduced in Gen 9. Comfortably outruns most offensive threats.
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.
Wugtrio Weakness
GoodElectric and Grass-type 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.
Evolved from Wiglett. Wugtrio is the final form in this two-stage line. A decent partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. Attack grew the most through evolution (+45 over Wiglett), and Wugtrio peaks at 425 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Wugtrio to get Wiglett eggs easily using 37 partners from the Water3 egg group.
Wugtrio leads with Focus Sash insurance. Even if it can't take a hit naturally, it'll survive long enough to deal early damage. Max Attack and Speed EVs go all-in on offense since bulk doesn't matter here.

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.
