Wailmer PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Wailmer is a happy little round whale with a huge grin. 🐳 😁

Do your thing, Wailmer, and keep that smile on!

Wailmer PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Wailmer turns into a monster in the Little Cup, taking advantage of the wide coverage from its moves, reasonably high Attack, and insane HP to punish its opponents. These factors help Wailmer beat large part of the meta, including Deino, Bulbasaur, Ducklett, Skarmory, and Vullaby. This Pokémon is worth it in the Little Cup! 📈

🔵 Great League

Wailmer loses a little sheen in the Great League, but it's still a legitimate threat, defeating Grumpig, Emolga, Lapras, Wigglytuff, Shadow Feraligatr, Shadow Sableye, Golisopod, Tinkaton, Alolan Sandslash, Corviknight, Dewgong, Dunsparce, and more! Even in faceoffs it can’t win, Wailmer leaves gaping holes in the opponent’s armor! 🤯

Wailmer is too weak for the Ultra and Master League.

💥 The best moves for Wailmer in PvP are Rollout, Body Slam, and Scald.
