- Some interesting support moves like Memento and Final Gambit and its ability Gooey/
- Interesting priority moves.
- Potential as a sweeper with agility.


Cons :

- Its Movepool lacks diversity
- Although the pokémon is physically oriented its attack stat Is not high enough

Terastalize Potential:
- Water Terastalyze seems like the best option for it, as its attack stat is very low.


Potential Sets:

Setup

Wugtrio @ Life Orb
Ability: Gooey
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Triple Dive
- Aqua Jet
- Stomping Tantrum
- Agility

With Agility and good speed, Wugtrio will be able to outspeed most of the Pokemon played with a Choice Scarf in the meta. Life Orb and Water Terastalyze allows it to completely make up for its lack of attack.

Support

Wugtrio @ Focus Sash
Ability: Gooey
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Triple Dive
- Memento
- Liquidation
- Mud-Slap

This support set could be interesting on Wugtrio, with Memento it will be able to sacrifice itself to let one of its comrades take an opportunity by setup or making holes. The focus sash allows him to use its gooey talent considering its low defensive stats.

It's remarkable how truly awful Dugtrio becomes when you remove Arena Trap. Poor Wugtrio doesn't even get Stealth Rock.

Killing itself with Final Gambit to give a better Pokémon a free switch against a wounded Pokemon is probably the best this could do to be useful in any tier.

Memento is better, that HP doesn't even let it kill anything and there are not enough Moxie (or Beast Boost, 0 right now) users to take advantage of the opponent being at low health. It's not as bad as Spidops, but it's still a terrible (and ugly, so kinda happy it's bad too. All ugly Mons should be either terrible or banned to Ubers where I predict Gholdengo to end in a month).

Yeah but Final Gambit does 274 damage and it's the fastest user of it in the game, besides Dugtrio of course.

Truthfully Wugtrio has almost no redeeming qualities at all so if someone held a gun to my head and told me to use it in competitive battles I'd probably just make it kill itself to take a chunk out of an opposing Pokémon then follow up with something to exploit the hit. It can also use Gooey to trade itself to stop a sweep lol.

I think Dugtrio is almost strictly superior here but I guess if I had to make this garbage do something it would be by exploiting the fast Final Gambit.

I like the concept of Wugtrio but I really don't see it distinguishing its self from the other water types around.

Wugtrio @ Focus Sash or Damp Rock
Ability: Gooey
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rain Dance
- Triple Dive
- Memento
- Foul Play

Wugtrio functions well as a Rain setter on Rain teams and Memento helps a team mate much easier to set up a Bulk up or Dragon Dance from Palafin or Gyarados.

wugtrio as a offensive water type pokemon has no chance as long as the likes of palafin is there . its limited movepool and poor hp stat means even final gambit is useless on this mon ( to gurantee a ko on most mons , it needs them to be already chipped) . Loosing arena trap is huge . Though gooey lowers speed of opposing pokemons , they can always switch out , or just not care if they are a special attacker or a slow mon .

Even with Palafin banished it is still outclassed by Barraskewda, Floatzel and even Drednaw. The only thing Wugtrio should be doing is being a fast Rain setter with Memento.
