DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Audino: designed with multiple layers of inspirations of medicine and healing
Chansey: “Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?”
Audino: Uses medical knowledge to heal you and your team.
Chansey: *e a t m y u n b o r n c h i l d*
Why thank you. I love omelettes!
@@HannibalKantter iirc its not an egg but an egg shaped ball of pure happiness
@@Ka-Ping And unformed unborn pokemon 😅
Audino is part of my Unova 1 team.
6:25
Seeing Audino gently point and proceed to delete Abomasnow just looks hilarious.
Audino: your free trail of living has E X P I R E
I know Normal types often have wide move pools, but while I think I knew about it knowing Fire Blast, I had no clue it could use Surf
"it's healing, but backwards."
"the door's over there"
"It's so sad you're gonna get swept by Slugma"
"What, how? It's not even a fully evol-"
"Slugma balls"
So Mega audino is basically when a support had enough of everyone's bullshit and decided to go in guns a blaze, and then went back to doing their job.
@@aurahero9842
heals the party
uses ultima and/or holy
heals the party again because those idiots cant be alone 5 seconds
Literally the perfect analogy
...brb, gonna go catch an Audino and name it Mulan.
Like in overwatch sometime or tf2
Josuke
I miss Mega Audino, it’s such a cute design. I do wish it were just a regular evolution.
I love it too its so cute
If only it kept regenerator, could actually be good then
In all honesty, it shouldn't have gotten mega
if it's mega was a regular evolution, that would allow regular audino to use eviolite
@today was a good day who asked?
This was my first random shiny, as a “Chansey clone” it does well enough in lower tiers. Regen is always good even if you don’t find it in playthroughs that way
I really like its shiny
This Pokemon was my first full odds shiny prior to the increased odds in Gen 6 and later.
I literally shat bricks because getting an encounter is already uncommon in Pokemon Black (moving grass only), and on top of a full odds at the time (1/8192). Meanwhile, I can't even chain or breed shinies lol.
It was also my first shiny too.
It was my first shiny that isn't Red Gyarados that I actually manage to capture in Pokemon White
I don't think it's a Chansey clone, they're more like counterparts (although the anime DID treat it like a Chansey clone)
14:30, building a team AROUND the one shiny you just so happened to get is hilarious
Irrelevant but I think I just got a hacked mawile in the GTS (In pokemon X)
The girl in Anistar city says that it has memories which means it's genuine but
It's level 100, shiny, Italian, and was supposedly hatched on the day I got it
What do I do?
@@microwave8931 nothing, keep it unless it has Behemoth Blade or something. This is just a personal opinion, but there's nothing inherently wrong with genned mons. Of course if you use hacked mons with illegal moves competitively, that's a problem.
@@halfway7690 all of the moves are legal (Gen 6) but it is apparently from a "Faraway Place" so idk
@@microwave8931 yeah just keep it. Free shiny lol. Unless you have a problem with genned pokemon then yeet it out of existence.
@@halfway7690 I'm more worried that I can get banned if it's hacked. Although 1. That's just dumb 2. Game Freak forgot about this game
Ah yes, the Pokémon everyone used to grind on when doing a nuzlocke
I'm doing a black nuzlocke now
And yes I have been slaughtering the audino population
Not even a nuzlocke, I just grind using audino in general
Not really everyone grinds using audino in black and white
Doing a black 2 nuzlocke right now, and it's a lifesaver
Just did a grinding session before Clay, and those darn Emolga"s just would not stop appearing instead.
Audino only got a Mega as an apology for all the times its brethren were used as sacrificial lambs for EXP.
Finally, an Unovan Pokémon that has done it's PP training and mastered the experience of 4000 years of Unova Martial Arts, pretty realistic
I think I know that's a Baki reference.
The problem is I don't know HOW I know thats a Baki reference or why
a Unova
typical pokemon stuff
Audino overwhelmed it’s checks and counters by deploying the art of kicking the pokenuts.
Kaioh Audino
6:45 I love that Audino uses Fire Blast by pushing the flame.
Audino's mega evolution is extremely adorable.
Audino and it's mega*
But hard agreed
Imagine if Mega Audino had regenerator. It would be insane!
Yes
Radical Red Showdown in a nutshell
For real. That’s pretty bull that they did that imo
@@TheCounterTeamer it has teleport there too
@@vulpony2130 yeah Ik it feels like playing with potions
I think healer as a whole needs a buff. At the moment it’s a doubles specific ability which is quite poor in doubles. I think it should be guaranteed removal of a status condition from an ally at the end of the turn, like how hydration works (in rain).
In singles, its stats and typing are what let it down. Either a defensive stat boost, a significant attack boost, or the fairy typing would help it massively.
Healer should get deleted and everyone who has Healer just gets Regenerator or Natural Cure ffs such a worthless ability
Make it so that you heal 1/16 of your HP each turn, kinda like leftovers.
TCG factoid: Mega Audino EX was a BEAST in the TCG.
Look up the VOD for the 2016 TCG World Championship Masters Division finals, if you wanna see Audino’s TCG adventures for yourself.
@today was a good day Stop it.
@@KrazyKyle-ij9vb It's a bot. Report it.
@@MidoseitoAkage I did :'(
When will this ever end
When will TH-cam care that it's happening
@@MidoseitoAkage Yeah best way to get rid of it is to report it. Doesn't make the spam any less annoying. I hate what youtube is mutating into, you used to never have to worry about that stuff a few years back. I miss the old youtube
I remember that I started collecting Pokémon TCG again during XY; after not collecting cards since RSE. I did get the DP Stormfront Water theme deck and my favorite card ever is “Mom’s Kindness” from that same deck. I also remember getting the McDonald’s BW Snivy Promo card and one BW booster that I remember getting SR Virizion from.
I remember the M-Audino deck, but my favorite deck is the Night March deck. I love the hell outta that gimmick deck. XY was my favorite competitive TCG set.
The existence of Mega Audino makes me really wonder what would happen if they weren't cowards and made Mega Blissey
That would be the most terrifying mega in existence.
This night I will have nightmares kf a mega blissey
Blissey that functions exactly the same except it has +100 base speed
All 100 points go to Physical Defense.
Can't imagine how much bulk it would have.
+50 speed and Special attack
Still loved how someone hatched a shiny and decided "you know what? I'm building a team around it" and managed to find success.
I just realized how brutal the Black and White games were to Audino. Even the NPCs advice the player to find and beat up Audino because it gives a lot of experience. Poor Audino just wanted to help but everyone kept picking on the thing.
I didn't used to beat it because I would feel bad afterwards, I caught one because it healed my pokemon
So that's why Chanseys keep on fleeing huh
Well fair enough
Its a Walmart Chansey
Maybe the audino's are happy they're helping
How messed up would it be if they used healing wish on your pokemon?
Signature move idea for Audino :
Audio Therapy - Normal - Status move
The user emits relaxing sounds to heal all allies on the field by 25% of their max HP and raise their Attack and Special Attack by one stage.
So better helping hand?
This is Hornet's favourite Pokemon considering how often she says it in her fight. Now if only they made a Pokemon called "Shaw".
She’s clearly saying “a deto” as in a rip-off dorito
I do not understand the joke.
@ hollow knight, great game
@@hirschmeistr6842 a Ditto?
@@jellomochas She also likes "A Gallade".
One very very niche thing to note is that Assault Vest Audino saw extremely limited play in OU to check Spectier, Kyurem before being banned in Gen 8 by very few players.
Wait...Wasn't audino dex cut in gen 8?
@@elainehelmont4647 until the ct yeah
Out of all of the Gen 5 Pokemon to get a mega, this one is the most surprising one I ain't complaining though since Audino is one of those forgettable Pokemon so it's nice that it has a mega
Hi fellow jojo appreciator
Mega Audino was the ONLY Gen 5 Pokemon to get a mega.
What I dislike about Mega Audino is that it would have been just........better in every way for both it and regular Audino if it were a regular evolution instead. Audino could have held Eviolite to patch it's bulk and the "Mega" would have access to Audino's other abilities, chiefly Regenerator, and items. Plus idk, but it looks like a regular evolution to me
Ngl I'd rather heatmor or druddigon or another gen v get a mega along the line, no one really cares about audino that much really
I wonder though. Why was Audino the only Gen. 5 Pokemon to get an Mega? Nothing against Audino. But what about the others that desperately needed it Maractus, Musharna, Unfezant, Watchog, Druddigon, Vanilluxe, Garbodor, Klingklang, Beeheymem, Escavilier, Accelgor, Crustle, Heatmor, Durant ( Although Durant probably didn't need it since it's already an good Pokemon. But still. Would've been cool ).
A textbook example of Mega Evolution giving a previously unspectacular Pokemon a fighting chance.
That's why it was the best gimmick. Still mad they didn't come back.
Plus novelty of some 3 stage evolution lines getting a pseudo 4th stage was cool.
In the right hands, Audino and mega audino can be really annoying to face. Its by no means the most consistent or best pokemon around, but you absolutely can make it work if you design a team around it. I'm surprised by all the offensive sets it has, I definitely didn't expect that. I guess having fire blast to hit steel types is really nice though.
Facts. I actually used to sweep people with mega audino, considered it an underrated mega.
I use it more to wish pass but it can be good having so many coverage
imagine mega audino keeping regenerator, i feel like that wouldve helped quite alot
As someone who grew up on gen 5 game wise, dam I wished there were more gen 5 mega evolutions
I always forget there is one because Mega Audino is such a weird pull
Those would be just too broken considering Megas are not only a flashy gimmick to bring fans back to the series, but it was also there to buff old Pokémon who became outdated because how hard Gen 5 power crept the new Pokémon, so naturally buffing those power crept Pokémon would just defeat the purpose of the gimmick.
@@V-Jes Bad reasoning given Pokemon like Mewtwo, Blaziken, Gengar, Tyranitar, and the like had them as early as XY. Megas were hardly about boosting weak Pokemon as much as they were about giving whatever was marketable a reason to be merchandised again and throwing the occasional bone to weak Pokemon
@@captainmarsh3664 Mewtwo and Blaziken both were not that good in Ubers or VGC (when legendarys are allowed) while Tyranitar lost it's infinite sand storm ability, so yes those were still about buffing older Pokémon even if many of them were obviously on marketable Pokémon too, not to mention even if you ignore those who were already Uber or OU when they got Mega's in XY, they still gave Mega forms to like 15-20 Pokémon who were not strong or good at all overall.
@@V-Jes Mewtwo and Blaziken are still far, FAR better than most Pokemon were or ever will be, they should've been disqualified from getting a Mega by default and instead should've had their stats/movepool/abilities tweaked in order to give them an edge if GF really cared about what was going to be viable after the fact. Mewtwo getting two especially was completely unnecessary (unless, of course, they just wanted to give the cool and totally awesome and super popular Legendary special treatment that other Pokemon would've appreciated far more, but Game Freak would never do that right???).
Tyranitar, even without infinite Sandstorm proved itself to be a premier Pokemon, to the point where it's mega had spotty viability in terms of just using the already good base form and saving the Mega slot for something else. If you want to get on the subject of those hurt most by the weather changes, Abomasnow was a good choice, but Pokemon that were worse than Tyranitar even with infinite weather like Politoed and Ninetales came out with jack squat.
A decent amount of Pokemon that were "bad" got Megas, but there were far too many given to Pokemon what were both already plenty strong enough and were decently popular for it to even be sensible to surmise that GF wasn't playing obvious favorites. Even worse when a bad Pokemon gets a Mega that doesn't help patch it's core issues, or just outright isn't worth running when there are other, stronger Megas, oftentimes given to already stronger Pokemon too, that they had to compete with. Even if you want to make the claim that it helped weaker Pokemon more than it helped well off ones, the well off ones getting some defeated the point at all just by virtue of Megas' flat 100 BST boost being well suited for Pokemon with naturally high BSTs already (though, again, there were definite success stories, like Mawile and Sableye).
The entire concept was the epitome of great concept, botched execution-all because GF couldn't balance their way out of a paper bag and can't resist giving their special little babies something or other so they don't miss out.
Man the exp grind was fun. I like Audino honestly way more than chansey. Design wise and because it didnt piss me off like facing eviolite chansey
I unironically ADORE Audino, and its Mega is a strong contender for my favorite (alongside Mawile and possibly someone else).
Same. They are both some of the cutest megas out there!
“Resistless Normal type”
*Angry ghost sounds*
Buff HP by 5, and Buff Def and SpDef by 10 each. It’ll survive a bit more and maybe move up 1* tiering placement.
* That or solidify its current placement.
R.I.P and a big salute to all the Audinos that fainted to give my Pokémon a lot of XP.
One of my friends ran into an Audino in XY when she was younger, and she thought it was this super rare pokemon, so she used a master ball on it. She then proceeded to run into 5 more Audino's in a row. Needless to say, she doesn't really like Audino that much
Theory time:
We’ve been having a lot of weak Gen 5 Pokemon videos lately, like Simipour, Beeheeym, and Audino
FSG said that there’d be a movie in Late March or Early April
So…Ferrothorn or Lando-T movie maybe?
Personally I'd love to see a Zapdos remake. This thing has been OU in every generation since Gen 1 (other than Gen 5). It's been OU for 7 of 8 generations... And even in Gen 5 it was UU. Not to mention Galarian Zados destroying the current Gen 8 meta.
I think it is Ferrothorn as FSG has a poll a few months ago for a massive length video. The options were Heatran, Ttar remake, Ferrothorn and Landorus, with Ferrothorn winning.
@@moonjelly5 Then here comes April 17!
I agree Gen. 5 introduced some weak mons. But it's nowhere near as bad as Gen. 2's Gen. 3's and even Gen. 4's mon.
Man, Audino has always been a personal favorite and I thought it was absolute crap competitively. Glad to see/hear that was a wrong assumption.
It feels like its been ages since a Pokémon was talked here that has had some VGC experience.
As for Audino itself, it was probably the most annoying Pokémon I'd run into during Generation V.
The exp. though
Audino gives lots of exp.
... and HP EV'S...
Not for me it was fortunate,cuz it made grinding less tedious.
It wasnt that annoying since you needed that specific moving herb to find it + it gives you lot of XP.
Audino used secret power
Your pokemon fell asleep
Imo its the best pokemon to run into. Its basically free exp
finally, I was waiting for this one, always thought it was weird that a pink blob mon was bad
Well wigglytuff has always been bad
@@daphenomenalz4100 Except for that time it won a tournament by exploiting Competitive
Musharna isn't anything _amazing,_ you know.
Klefki was one of the first Pokémon that genuinely impressed me with how well it was designed for competitive, it wasn't the best, but it accomplished a lot with very little. It also helped me see how thrown together a lot of Gen 5 mons were.
Klefki is gen 6 Pokemon....
@@rosec_rose6661...and it made the previous generation look cobbled together with its intentionality.
This video yeided tones of experience.
More unova pokemon needed megas
I hate jokes therefore i hate you
I remember when I first played Pokemon Black many years ago, I used the Audino + Lucky Egg method to level up my team-members much easier. It helped when I was struggling against Cynthia in Undella Town, or to evolve my Zweillous into Hydreigon.
I think Mega Audino could be such a good Pokemon with a better ability. I personally believe the Simple ability would be a perfect fit, since it learns Simple Beam naturally.
You should do Mienfoo for Little Cup.
It is arguably the best pokemon in LC, despite its evolution being mediocre
mienshap is definitely not mediocre, it was in NU and got through all the tiers up to UU really fast, people just don't realize all the good things it has
Mienshao actually got banned from UU in swsh iirc. Shao is actually quite good, people just tend to overlook it
@@jupardo7367 yeah, but compared to the absolute monster its pre evolution is, it is.
Mienfoo is the strongest pokemon in LC by far. I want to know why stuff like regenerator/ reckless makes it so strong, but Mienshao is not common in OU
i love using mienshao, it warms my heart to see mienfoo kill other babies
Mediocre? Have you done any research or are you just here to spread lies to let something look good?
Finally! I was beginning to think Audino would never get its day in the sun! It's a shame that it never truly got to be the "next Chansey", and that the Mega form was slapped with such a useless ability like Healer. I wish we could've seen how a Regenerator Mega Audino would've fared in the metagame. Maybe it would've been OU.
Audino became one of my favourite Pokemon after I gave it a chance in a BW playthrough. Thank you, Patreons!
Well that’s why for a buff just give mega Audino regenerator or if mega’s aren’t coming back ever again then just give Audino it’s mega stats
Tbh I love how it looks as a Mega, but it was cursed by having the weird "support Mega" slot usually, when most Megas are geared for an all out attack.
Offensive M-Audino is hilarity tho, you come in expecting a passive mon only to get smacked by a Fire Blast
I will always be pissed they didn't just give it Regen. It's one of my fav mons cause it's so cute, but getting an unexpected mega for it, only for it to be given the infinitely worse ability with no way to change it just felt spiteful.
Like somebody hands you a hundred dollar bill wrapped around their turd.
Audino is one of the most underrated things in natdex, since she can stall two turns of dynamax almost every time, and switch with Regenerator to be able to come back later
Stop punching audinos, they're so kind that they didn't reveal their full stat spread to preserve every single mega rayquaza's feelings
Dude it's the 134592649201th time you appear here at false swipe gaming telling me that something has finally arrived, but I won't click that link, as you're certainly not an audino and not as reliable as koichi hirose.

Audino was already a favorite of mine before I wound up doing a White 2 Nuzlocke years ago where it was essentially my ace pokemon. I'll never forget how it was me using Ice Beam that I learned that the frozen status can be extremely busted considering I froze Iris's Aggron for 11 turns and it essentially fainted via chip damage thus winning me the Nuzlocke. Thanks Audino.
I loved using mega audino in gen 7 UU. It wasn’t particularly good but it put in work
God Mega-Audino was so polarizing whenever I faced it. Either it was literally and utterly useless in the matchup, or it was basically able to solo my entire team.
Audino honestly just needs a good old fashioned evolution, preferably one that keeps the half-fairy typing of its old mega. Not only would this hopefully give it the boost it needs to get into higher tiers, but it would allow Audino itself to hold Eviolite, which would really help it do its job in the lower tiers.
Man a Normal Fairy type with Regenerator would be a nice way to put Dragapult in it's place.
Indeedee is better
I was kind of disappointed that Audino is the only gen 5 mon that got a mega
Yeah. I don't get it. As much as I hate the idea of Mega, having only one Gen. 5 Pokemon to have Mega isn't enough.
One of my favorite designs
Ah yes, the exp candy personified.
Shout-out to Gary, just accidentally hatching a shiny and then goes "Yeah, I'll make a team with this"
And won 3rd place with it-
Ah yes, Audino. This Pokemon is basically a poor trainer's Chansey.
My most standout memory with Audino (barring being an EXP pinata) is the one who trains you in Pokepark 2. Does anyone remember that game?
Yes! That was my first Pokemon game and I remember her. I think she trained you in HP
@@agentblackbird9435 Correct. Audino was basically the "cool big sister" character in that game.
Ah, poor man’s Chansey.
Also, holy crap! That video length!
The only Gen 5 Pokémon to ever get a mega evolution for some reason.
Marketing and merchandising for the fairy types. Pretty cool design also.
@@Labyrinth6000 also an apology for all those Audino you beat up for experience. XD
6:25 love how audino is like "❤️❤️❤️❤️here, take this❤️❤️❤️❤️" and proceeds to fireblast the mega abomasnow.
I actually managed to catch a shiny Audino in Pokemon Black. It was my 2nd full-odds shiny. My first was Red-Striped Basculin.
(For the record, I caught both of them in the post-game.)
3:40 I had to watch that footage again because I thought the Hammer Arm was from Conkeldurr
_"It's always hard when your journey begins."_
_"How you find your way how to make new friends."_
Audino did win a world's once... in the TCG, but that's still something!
seviper: once again im overlooked
Most episodes: this pokemon has a strong niche over its competition
Lickilicky and Audino: this Pokémon is much worse than its competitor
ah yes, the runner up to the Mega Evolution Battle Royale
I was interested in Audino analysis. This was one of my favorite pokemon in Unova. Its cool to see it RegenWish and supporting team
For the past 2 weeks, I've been hoping to see an Audino video made by you. Finally the time came now that I've made Audino my new favorite. especially her shiny
Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Even if Audino isn't the best Pokemon out there for battling, it will always be my favorite Pokemon.
Magcargo needs some love!
Wow. Pretty crazy that I'm doing a Pokemon Black Nuzlock right now and (due to circumstances) Audino has basically become my partner/ace/right-hand pokemon due to its bulk and regenerator keeping it alive and then this video pops up.
Glad to know that this pokemon did well in the competitive scene
Addendum: Audino is a good Pokemon in the BW PU metagame, where it is a fine defensive pivot. Audino has also had a number of stints in ZU this generation, where it is generally a good support Pokemon as usual. It seems unlikely to fall again this gen, so shoutout to Audino for always being a B+ Pokemon in PU every generation.
2 vids in a week is actually insane with this production quality
YES!!! MY FAVOURITE POKEMON!!! been waiting for years for this!
Ah yes, the only Gen 5 Pokemon to get a Mega Evolution. Not surprised at all to see Gary Qian in this video; he's so creative with his teambuilding
Don’t forget mega Audino outright WON the world championships for the Pokémon trading card game in 2016 iirc.
Finally! VGC coverage!
Where’ve you been, Zane?!
I expected this joke to be worked in somehow in the video:
narrator: "Is this pokemon good?"
Audino: "I dunno?"
Support is so important 🙌
"Fairies are weak to steel types"
Fairies: 0:43
This one feels like a return to form, definitely enjoyed it. Maybe one day you can do some more returns to generations that weren't out when a pokemon was reviewed and cover a few at a time or generation's lower tiers you skipped over when you were just focused on OU?
And here I thought April Fool's was just the weekly video.
Boy was I wrong!
Really love the fact that the Tapu FIni was called Aqours lmao
Video no.3 of Waiting for rotom and all its forms.
No matter how much it takes, I'll wait.
Great vid guys :)
I remember watching Mr1upz’s video ranking all the cross-gen evolutions and distinctly remember him talking about Lickilicki and saying “Back in the day, Lickitung was apparently grilled for being a poor man’s Snorlax… but how are you gonna evolve into something that just becomes a poor man’s Audino?”
Gamefreak should have put postgame areas with these dudes at lvl 100 instead of buffing the Exp Share in gen6 like they did.
Fondly remembering going through all of Pokemon Y with an Audino because a friend said it was useless. It sure was.
I haven't been a around for a minute so to see him still carrying on with this good content is heartwarming. Also, mega Audino should've just been her evolution. Like Audivino or something.
“Yeah we get it. Hello Nurse!” (Sylveon 2022) 😂😂😂
Thanks for the new vid False Swipe 💙🐱💙
The way gen five needed PU and gen seven needed ZU
So the comment about VGC players grinding on Audino and a VGC player hatching a shiny Audino makes me wonder: How many VGC players actually go through the grind of raising a full VGC team for competition events as opposed to using “other” methods to expedite the process? And to what extent would such methods be used? Just for turning pokes shiny or ironing out IV spreads or just skipping the whole training process entirely?
I recall Nintendo has tools for detecting these kind of hacks during events but I can’t imagine they work as well as they need to. Just curious what the general sentiment is in this regard.
If you buffed it's bulk by around 15 points each stat I think we'd be looking at one of the best walls in the series, I think it could be fun to see a special attacking Audino too, maybe give it 110 Sp.Atk and see how well it could do, Audino's always felt like it's one move or mechanic away from hurtling up the tiers and I'd like to see it
mega audino is my favorite mega and i loved baiting people in with a seemingly harmless normal type then crush them with powerful coverage moves. definitely one of my fav pokemon
When I found out there was a Mega Audino, I was like "SAY WHAAAT?", just like in the Stewie meme.
I remember running Mega Audino a lot on Smogon with Wish+Protect, and it was fun to mess with people with it. Doubly so if you run Calm Mind and Dazzling Gleam. (I pretty much ran Wish, Heal Bell, Calm Mind, and Dazzling Gleam)
People have told me a lot that Mega Kangaskhan was great, and while it was, it has one flaw, which is burn. Literally burn that thing and its' ability which was good, becomes literally useless, since Burn halves your physical damage, and Parental Bond only does half of the moves' BP. For Example, Power-Up Punch, which would have a 40 BP, It gets halved to 20, and again halved because burn, so 10. While having +1 Attack after Kanga's first turn, it's not gonna do much in the long run. Not to add that you lose 1/16th of your HP every turn, and Kanga has no recovery moves except for Drain Punch, which before it even gets useful because of that Physical cut from Burn, Mega Kanga is already six feet under hours ago.
Here comes the Pokemon that gives people PTSD when they look at a patch of tall grass.
I feel like audino is realy made for doubles. Currently abusing it with calyrex. Basicly audino would keep ally switching till calyrex (shadow btw) got off 2 nasty plots. There forward just keep spamming astral barrage and youve woulde probs one shot everything. Audino will also keep using heal pulse and heal bell just incase calyrex gets low or get a status condition.
Heres their stuff:
Audino:
Held item: sitrus berry
Moves:
Heal pulse
Heal bell
Protect
Ally switch
(Note: put its EVs on hp and defense)
Calyrex-Shadow:
Held item: focus sash
Moves:
Astral barrage
Nasty plot

Aromatherapy (incase audino dies and you get a status condition)
(Note: put its EVs on speed and speacial attack)
Several Audinos are harmed in the making of any of my Unova 2 playthroughs. It's a genuine wonder that I have yet to find a shiny one there.
must pay my respects for audino getting my tepig to pignite before the first gym in black and white cause I was too stubborn to use x items
I love that I got an "audible" add during the audino video 😂
I wish the Mega was an evolution instead. I really like her design.
