Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Walking Wake best moveset

Players looking to add the powerful Paradox Pokemon Walking Wake to their Scarlet & Violet team need to know its best moveset. Here are the best builds for the dual Water/Dragon from Gen 9.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet introduced Paradox Pokemon to the game, with Violet’s version having futuristic monsters and Scarlet’s prehistoric creatures.

One of the most sought-after is Walking Wake, Suicune’s ancient version, which can only be acquired through special 5-Star Tera Raid battles.

Luckily for players, it’s coming back to the game from April 26, 2024, until May 7, 2024. So, if you’re planning on adding Walking Wake to your team, here is the best moveset you can teach it in the game.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet best Walking Wake moveset

POKEMON	MOVESET	ABILITY	NATURE	HELD ITEM	TERA TYPE
	-Hydro Steam -Agility -Draco Meteor -Hurricane	Protosynthesis	Modest (+Sp. Atk., -Atk)	Booster Energy	Water

This Walking Wake moveset is an all-around agility build for PvP. First off, you’ll want your Walking Wake to have a Modest nature to boost its massive Special Attack stat while hindering its unneeded Attacks stat.

Its Held Item should be Booster Energy, as it activates Walking Wake’s Protosynthesis ability without the need to set up Harsh Sunlight.

As for the moves themselves, Hydro Steam is Walking Wake’s signature move and it’s amazing. It is an 80 Power Water-type move with 100% accuracy. However, it receives a 50% damage buff when used in Harsh Sunlight.

Agility is straightforward and can help boost Walking Wake’s already gargantuan Speed stat even higher.

Draco Meteor is an incredibly strong Dragon-type move that should only be used in certain situations, as it will lower the user’s Special Attack stat by two stages.

Finally, Hurricane is a great counter for certain Grass-type walls. Additionally, it’s very effective against Rain teams who try to counter Protosynthesis as it will always hit in Rainy weather. However, be warned that its accuracy dips to 50% if used in Harsh Sunlight.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Walking Wake alternative build

POKEMON	MOVESET	ABILITY	NATURE	HELD ITEM	TERA TYPE
	-Hydro Steam -Protect -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower	Protosynthesis	Timid (+Spe, -Atk)	Life Orb	Stellar

Trainers looking for other versatile move options can opt to switch out Hurricane for Flamethrower, as it provides great damage and type coverage. Alternately, trainers can forego Agility’s speed-boosting effect in favor of Protect, should they want some guaranteed protection.

The Timid nature will drop Walking Wake’s attack, but using Life Orb as the held item will give it a 30% damage boost to the ATK stat for 10% of its max health. Plus, the main focus of this build is to outspeed every enemy, so raising the SPE stat is a must.

Finally, go for the Stellar Tera Type, as it will allow you to boost every type of attack.
