Walking Wake is a Water/Dragon-type combination, soElectric-type Pokémon are the strongest counters against the Legendary. However, players should generally avoid bringing any Grass-types into the raid event, as the Paradox Pokémon has Flamethrower. Below are the best counters for Walking Wake in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
WithIron Hands, the main strategy is touse Belly Drum to increase your Special Attackstatfor Thunder Punch. With Shell Bell equipped, Drain Punch will act as your healing move. Players who useMiraidon can spam Electro Driftto do devastating damage. Parabolic Charge will heal you if needed, andMetal Sound will lower Walking Wake’s Defenses. Lastly,Azumarill canbasicallyknock the Paradox Pokemon outin two movesafter Belly Drum and Play Rough are usedtogether.
Because Walking Wake is a 5-Star Raid, the Legendary ancient form is relatively easy to defeat. For instance, although Miraidon has a Dragon-type weakness to Paradox Suicine, its powerful Electric-type counters are enough to quickly take the Legendary down. Players can even use Grass-types such as Meowscarada without having too much trouble. However, the overall best counters are going to be pure Electric-type Pokémon.
