What is better in an Emerald Playthrough: Wailord or Walrein?

Jul. 5, 2023



I have more of an offensive and speed playstyle, and I can figure out which Pokemon I should use for this.

Wailord is pretty much completely outclassed by other Waters, while Walrein stands out a bit more with a better movepool, typing, and stats. They’re both still far from the greatest Water-types by your criteria, such as Pelipper and Swampert.

Availability:LateStats:Above AverageMovepool:DecentAdditional Comments:He comes late, but Water/Ice is a good STAB combo and Walrein is very bulky with decent offensive capabilities.

Availability:Mid-gameStats:AverageMovepool:ShallowAdditional Comments:It is slow, not overly strong, and by time you can get it you have already seen too many other good options for a strong Water-type.

Also, as Fizz said:

The main reason you shouldn’t use Wailord is that it has Fluctuating growth rate, which makes it a terrible experience leech.

While Spheal has a better “Medium-Slow” growth rate.

Hope I helped!
