Comments

You could try Scald instead of Surf. That burn will not only help beat enemies, but the drop in their Attack increases your physical bulk.

Maybe Refresh to help keep status away.

Answer 1

Wartortle is really lacking in the bulk department, and should use Eviolite to let it survive longer. Leftovers provide recovery, but the amount of hits you take will be surprisingly lower.

Comments

The burn from Scald should prove sufficient.

Ahh ok, whats haze for? Linoone's?

---

Haze is to drop and enemies stats that have been raised back to 0.

Haze also restores any of Wartortle's stats that have been lowered back to normal.

ik what the move does, i just dont know what its doing on this set.

There are lots of Calm Minders and Swords Dancing / Bulk Uping in NU.

Answer 2

Wartortle needs Evolite much more, as it is a significant increase in bulk. I think you can relate to this Eevee as I know you play LC, where Leftovers aren't really viable due to the drop in bulk from the Eviolite.
