Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Wailord is a water-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 500 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Water Veil ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Wailord. Build around what Wailord actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
