Strategy Overview

Walrein is not a very good Pokemon in SS ZU. Its seemingly decent bulk is undercut by its poor defensive typing, mediocre damage output, and lack of reliable recovery options. It could make use out of Swords Dance, but the aforementioned defensive issues combined with rather poor Speed make setting up rather difficult. Plus, Qwilfish does such a set way better thanks to its better defensive typing and Aqua Jet, and Froslass is a better physically attacking Ice-type due to its much greater Speed and being more immediately threatening.
