Pokémon Go: Is Walrein good and how to best use it

In Pokémon Go, Walrein was not the best Pokémon to employ. When it came to choosing a Water or Ice-type Pokémon, you had a lot of alternatives, and it all came down to the moveset of the Pokémon. That is, until the Community Day in January 2022. Following that, things for Walrein have drastically changed, and they have a lot to say about it. In this article, we'll look at whether Walrein is a decent Pokémon to have and how to use it effectively in Pokémon Go.

Walrein is a Pokémon of the Ice and Water types. Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Rock-type moves will be weak against it, but Ice and Water-type strikes will be resistant. It has a maximum CP of 2,726, a maximum attack of 155, a maximum defense of 150, and maximum stamina of 203 in PvP. It would have a maximum CP of 3,081, an attack of 165, a defense of 160, and stamina of 215 if you pushed it even harder with XL sweets.

While the Pokémon's stats are fairly equal in the Great and Ultra Leagues, the Master League was never going to be a major choice. The Community Day in January 2022, on the other hand, was a game-changer. Walrein has the fast move powder snow and the charged move icicle spear added to its moveset during the event. It was the first Pokémon to learn icicle spear, which is practically the same as weather ball before the nerf to the charged move. It boasts 60 watts of power and only uses 35 watts of electricity to operate.

The fact that the icicle spear only took 35 energy, combined with Walrein's powder snow, makes it a formidable Ice-type Pokémon. Walrein's best moveset provides it a lot more depth than it had before, despite the fact that it doesn't have the largest bulk in the Pokémon Go roster. You should employ a Walrein with the charged moves icicle spear and earthquake, as well as the quick move powder snow. These attacks are crucial in determining whether Walrein is a good fit for the Great, Ultra, or Master rosters.

Walrein may have been ignored in the run-up to the Community Day in January 2022, but now we can't recommend it enough. We're looking forward to seeing how this Pokémon affects the Pokémon Go PvP scene in the future.
