Audino

Say it: AU-di-no

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Audino is the Hearing Pokémon — a Normal type known for friendship and Mega Evolution. In Pokémon GO it is mostly a Great League / Mega Audino pick, not a raid Normal attacker. Normal moves only hit Normal hard and lose to Fighting. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Audino (Normal / Fairy) when you have Mega Audino Energy.

Say it: AU-di-no

Audino (#531) is a Normal Pokémon in Pokémon GO. Trainers use it as a Great League option and Mega Audino for Fairy/Normal lobby roles. Against Audino, lead with Fighting. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.

Pokédex notes

Audino is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0531. Normal types need coverage moves — check our moveset guide before spending TMs.

Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events

Invest tip: Invest for PvP or Mega Energy farming, not raid DPS. Pound or Zen Headbutt + Dazzling Gleam / Disarming Voice is the usual kit. Keep a non-Shadow for Mega. Farm Mega Energy from Mega Audino raids and events. No Community Day exclusive is required.

Type matchups

Normal moves do not have a common super-effective target in our chart.

When Audino is your opponent, Fighting hits hard.

Mega Evolution

Audino can Mega Evolve into Mega Audino, which becomes Normal / Fairy. Mega Evolution uses Candy plus Mega Audino Energy, boosts Fairy (and Normal) attackers depending on lobby needs, and only one Mega or Primal can be active at a time. Shadow Audino cannot Mega Evolve — purify first if you want the Mega.
