Walking Wake will be a Water-type Tera battle. You’ll want to use Electric or Grass-type Pokémon against it. It knows the moves Hydro Steam, Dragon Pulse, Noble Roar, Flamethrower, and Sunny Day. Because it knows Flamethrower and Sunny Day, we recommend against using Grass-type Pokémon; instead, use Electric-types in this battle to make sure everyone can defeat it.
The best type of Electric-type Pokémon you can use against Walking Wake will include Toxtricity, Bellibolt, Sandy Shocks, or Miraidon. You want to be careful if you plan to use Miraidon because it is a Dragon-type, and Walking Wake does have Dragon Pulse, which could be super-effective. Of the choices we’ve listed, Sandy Shocks could be the best option for you to use because it is Electric and Ground-type, making it resistant to any Fire-type moves Walking Wake uses. However, it is weak to Water-type attacks, so Hydro Steam could easily take it down.
To add to your list of available choices, some of the better Pokémon that could participate in this battle using Grass or Electric-type moves include Azumarill, Gyarados, Whiscash, and Palafin. You can use these optimal choices against Walking Wake, especially if you want to be resistant to Hydro Steam and Flamethrower.
