Strategy Overview
The combination of Regenerator, decent physical bulk, and useful support moves such as Wish, Knock Off, and Heal Bell makes Audino a decent niche option on balance teams. It checks the prominent Calyrex-S as well as physical Yveltal, and it also enables dangerous setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Groudon and Dragon Dance Zekrom. However, its lack of useful resistances and general passivity leave Audino threatened by staples of the tier such as Kyogre, Marshadow, Zygarde-C, and Zekrom. Also, despite its good matchup against Calyrex-S, Audino can easily be crippled by Trick or beaten by Focus Sash variants if it has to switch in on them, and thus it requires additional teammates to handle Calyrex-S.
