"Wailord used Body Slam!"
[Overview]
- Wailord's Reputation is harder in the new metagame where Jynx is so prominent
- Water Spout is a deadly weapon when paired with Choice Specs that it can practically OHKO the whole nuetral metagame, especially in the rain
- However, despite the sheer force of it, Wailord has to deal with priority, the aforementioned Jynx and priority as well as entry hazards.
- 170 HP stat is awesome, but you 45 / 45 defenses making it only decent at best
- Mono-Water isn't exactly the best typing
- Bad Speed
- Underestimate Wailord, and you'll get the hit of a life-time

[SET COMMENTS]
- Water Spout for early-game, and hits like a nuke
- Ice Beam has excellent coverage along side Water Sput, htting everything bar Water[types for atleast neutral damage
- Hidden Power [Bug] OHKOEs Jynx after Stealth Rock and @HKOes Specially Defensive Ludicolo after Stealth Rock and a layer of Spikes
- Hiddden Power [Grass] is for Seismitoad, or bulky water-types in general suck as Alomommola
- Surf and Hydro Pump are reliable after Water Spout has been below hitting range, 63% for Surf and Hydro Pump is only 30 points weaker, save STAB
- 140 Spe are to outpace Max Speed Golem, and the rest are dumped into Defense and Special Defense to balance bulk
