No. 531: Audino

Remember Chansey? Remember how it was a nurse or something? Remember how it ate its own eggs, and enjoyed soaking up damage masochistically?

Because I used to, and it gave me nightmares. But then Audino came along, and made it all okay. Audino is like a wonderful oasis in a desert of pain and sadness. You're hurting, you need some experience, but you also don't want a fainted Poke on your hands. But then, angels sing out, and a peace settles on the battlefield.

Audino poses no threat, it learns like maybe 2 moves that do any damage whatsoever, and one of its moves even HEALS the opponent. It gives you boatloads of exp, it's like a Metal Slime that isn't that hard to find and doesn't run away, it's just a wonderful thing.

And the reason I brought up Chansey is because while Chansey may be a cannibalistic egg-thing that heals itself, Audino would be the perfect nurse. Again, it has a move that heals the other guy. That's some commitment to altruism, right there.


Overall: 7/10

  2. Audino deserves a high score solely for the way it works in the game. Makes grinding infinitly easier than ever.

  3. Its design also looks like it's wearing a nurse coat and has stethoscope ears. they wasted the opportunity to make simple beam work on truant as this would have made audino good in doubles and triples with slaking

  4. Damn... I cant decide whetever I hate it or not.
    It just makes me angry and at the same time its design is clever. Your call is the best.
