Strategy Overview

Wailmer fills two somewhat unique niches in Little Cup: the ability to use Water Spout and the ability to use Self-Destruct. Wailmer is one of three Pokemon who can use Water Spout in Little Cup, and its decent Speed with a Choice Scarf attached and its overall bulk makes it a good user of the move. Relying on Water Spout, however, means that Wailmer needs to be at full HP to be effective, so it cannot switch in very often. Self-Destruct can help remedy this problem, and with a Choice Scarf Wailmer usually has a chance to use it.
