Audino’s sense of hearing is superb. Not even a pebble rolling along over a mile away will escape Audino’s ears.

Audino Weakness

Audino's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. With 103 HP and balanced defenses, Audino can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Sword & Shield Audino Best Moveset

One guaranteed turn is all Audino needs. Focus Sash buys it, max HP and Sp. Def EVs make it count, and Regenerator adds something extra. The goal: deal early damage and deal damage with Entrainment. Utility options gives it play beyond just the lead turn.

STAB runs through Giga Impact and Hyper Beam for the basics, but Audino's real strength is the 12-type coverage spread. Fairy and Psychic hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

Audino Guide

  • In Sword & Shield, Don't let Audino's 445 base stat total fool you. Regenerator is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a support. Entrainment with Focus Sash is the standard set.

  • Mega Evolution isn't available in Sword & Shield, but Audino does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Audino hits 545 BST.

  • In Sword & Shield, watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Audino. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Sword & Shield, Run Regenerator on Audino. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Audino also gets Healer and Klutz, but they don't compare.

  • In Sword & Shield, Audino fills the support role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 60 Attack). Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

Game Availability

Audino first appeared in Black & White and spans 8 games across 6 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 6, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
