[OVERVIEW]

The combination of Regenerator, decent physical bulk, and useful support moves such as Wish, Knock Off, and Heal Bell makes Audino a decent niche option on balance teams. It checks the prominent Calyrex-S as well as physical Yveltal, and it also enables dangerous setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Groudon and Dragon Dance Zekrom. However, its lack of useful resistances and general passivity leave Audino threatened by staples of the tier such as Kyogre, Marshadow, Zygarde-C, and Zekrom. Also, despite its good matchup against Calyrex-S, Audino can easily be crippled by Trick or beaten by Focus Sash variants if it has to switch in on them, and thus it requires additional teammates to handle Calyrex-S.

[SET]
name: Support
move 1: Wish
move 2: Protect
move 3: Heal Bell
move 4: Knock Off
item: Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Regenerator
nature: Impish
evs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]

Wish is a great option to keep both Audino and its teammates healthy. Protect is a classic option alongside Wish, and it also allows Audino to scout Choice item foes such as Choice Band Marshadow and Choice Specs Kyogre. Heal Bell lets Audino cure status. Knock Off cripples common threats such as Yveltal, Calyrex-S, Ho-Oh, and Lunala, removing precious items such as Heavy-Duty Boots, and Audino will always 2HKO Calyrex-S with Knock Off. Heavy-Duty Boots maximizes Regenerator's net recovery and makes Audino a better pivot.

The extreme passivity of Audino must be addressed by its teammates; powerful wallbreakers such as Swords Dance Groudon, Zekrom, and Choice Specs Kyogre are all good options that love both cleric and Wish support that Audino provides. The former two also act as great offensive checks to Taunt Yveltal, which Audino struggles against. Yveltal and Marshadow also pair well with Audino, as they form an extremely effective core against Calyrex-S, while Audino provides Wish and cleric support. Necrozma-DM can set Stealth Rock and appreciates Audino's ability to both check Calyrex-S and cripple common switch-in such as Yveltal, Ho-Oh, and Lunala with Knock Off, leaving them susceptible to Stealth Rock.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====

Status moves such as Thunder Wave and Toxic can be used over Heal Bell or Protect to cripple threats like Yveltal, Zekrom, Kyogre, and Eternatus on the switch, but Heal Bell is usually far more valuable and not having Protect to use Wish safely can lead to dangerous scenarios against wallbreakers like Choice Specs Kyogre and offensive Eternatus.

Checks and Counters
====

**Eternatus**: Thanks to its high Special Attack, great bulk, and excellent ability in Pressure, Eternatus put immense pressure on Audino. In particular, Sludge Bomb Eternatus can forces Audino to spam Heal Bell, taking advantage of its low PP amount. On top of that, Eternatus usually doesn't care much about losing its item.

**Special Wallbreakers**: Special attackers such as Kyogre, the aforementioned Eternatus, and specially offensive Yveltal threaten Audino with their STAB moves. While Yveltal does not appreciate being hit by Knock Off, Calm Mind Kyogre and Cosmic Power Eternatus can use Audino as setup fodder.

**Substitute Users**: Substitute users such as Zygarde-C, Kyogre, and Xerneas can use Audino as setup fodder.

**Fighting-types**: Fighting-types such as Pheromosa, Marshadow, Buzzwole, and Zamazenta-C threaten Audino thanks to their STAB moves. While Choice Band Marshadow and Pheromosa do not like being hit by Knock Off, the latter three can still use Audino as setup fodder with Bulk Up and Howl.

**Setup Sweepers**: Audino cannot threaten most setup sweepers at all, which include Dragon Dance Zekrom, Swords Dance Groudon, and Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM.

The combination of Regenerator, a decent physical bulk,(AC) and access to useful support moves such as Wish, Knock Off, and Heal Bell makes Audino a decent support for niche option on balanced teams. It checks the prominent Calyrex-S(RC) and enables dangerous setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Groudon and Dragon Dance Zekrom. However, its lack of useful resistances, bulk (either it has good bulk or it doesn't, pick one), and its general passiveness let it leave Audino threatened by many staples of the tier such as Kyogre, Marshadow, Zygarde, and Zekrom. Also, despite its good matchup against Calyrex-S, Audino cannot beat it one on one, and thus require additional teammates to handle it.

[SET COMMENTS]

Wish, Regenerator, and a decent physical bulk allows Audino to act as a decent defensive check to non-specially oriented Yveltal, as well as Calyrex-S. (move to overview as to what it does and start from the next sentence)Wish is a great option to keep both Audino and its teammates healthy. Protect is a classic option alongside Wish, and which lets Audino (checks potential switch-ins, in particular) (I'd reword to something like "scout Choiced foes such as...") Choice Band Marshadow and Choice Specs Kyogre, and Zekrom (I don't think Zekrom is checked by Audino, wish or not), that would take advantage of Wish. Heal Bell is a great support option that lets Audino cure its teammates's status. Regenerator pairs extremely well with Wish, as it mitigates the damage Audino receives and let it passes Wish more reliably all along the game. Knock Off cripples common threats in the meta such as Yveltal, Calyrex-S, Ho-Oh, and Lunala, removing precious items such as Heavy-Duty Boots. An Impish nature alongside 31 IVs in Attack let Knock Off and will always 2HKO Calyrex-S. Heavy-Duty Boots maximizes Regenerator's net recovery and thus makes Audino into a better pivot. makes Audino harder to break, avoiding entry hazards damage and letting it pivot more reliably.

The extreme passiveness of Audino must be addressed by its teammates; powerful wallbreakers such as Swords Dance Groudon, Dragon Dance Zekrom, and Choice Specs Kyogre are all good options that love both the cleric and the Wish support Audino provides. The former two also act as great offensive checks to Taunt Yveltal, which Audino struggles against. Yveltal and Marshadow pairs also pair well with Audino, as they form an extremely resiliant core against Calyrex-S,(AC) ("resilient core" implies they check it defensively; maybe try "effective", instead). While they offensively check it, in return, while Audino provides Wish and cleric support, which is a blessing for Yveltal and Marshadow. Necrozma-DM provides can set Stealth Rock support, (variety) and appreciates in return Audino's ability to both check Calyrex-S and cripple common switch-in such as Yveltal, Ho-Oh, and Lunala with Knock Off, leaving them sensitive susceptible to its Stealth Rock.

Also, despite its good matchup against Calyrex-S, Audino cannot beat it one on one, and thus require additional teammates to handle it.
Audino should always win the 1v1 vs caly, not sure if any sets can actually 1v1 it unless you encore it into wish somehow, which won't usually happen since np encore dkiss barrage can't threaten audino. If there's specific sets or interactions you meant here then I'd mention them, only situation I can really think of is sash np psyshock that boosts on the switch, which isn't a 1v1 matchup.
0 Atk Audino Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Shadow: 224-264 (65.6 - 77.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Choice Specs Calyrex-Shadow Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Audino: 186-219 (45.3 - 53.4%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

+2 252 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Audino: 247-292 (60.2 - 71.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

+2 252 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Draining Kiss vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Audino: 147-174 (35.8 - 42.4%) -- 93.8% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

The extreme passiveness of Audino must be addressed by its teammates; powerful wallbreakers such as Swords Dance Groudon, Dragon Dance Zekrom, and Choice Specs Kyogre are all good options that love both the cleric and the Wish support Audino provides.
I wouldn't specify DD Zek in particular, LO mixed sets are just as good with Wish and cleric support letting it take Sacred Fire or get worn down by throwing off hits at a manageable cost.

Status moves such as Thunder Wave and Toxic can be used over Heal Bell to cripple more threats like Yveltal
In like it's only showing ever in tours Audino dropped Protect for twave on a team with some other unorthodox mons like shed which I think is also valid, regen + boots makes it less needed on certain builds so I'd mention it can be dropped just like bell, but far less often.
