Strategy & play
How Walrein ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Ice Throw) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Fighting and Metal ×2 — a Fighting/Metal attacker doing ≥75 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Sealeo first).
How to beat Walrein ex
- Exploit its Fighting/Metal weakness — ≥75 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Walrein ex is real?
Walrein ex is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.
