Soundproof is the go-to ability for Loudred. It protects against sound-based moves. Its hidden ability Scrappy can work in specific setups.
In Ruby & Sapphire, Loudred fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 71 Attack. Base 48 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
