Wooper is a Water and Ground-type Pokemon introduced in Johto. Its typing gives it an Electric immunity and only one type weakness, though Grass-type attacks are especially dangerous.
Competitive Overview
Wooper is usually more of a story or Little Cup-style Pokemon than a major fully evolved competitive threat. Its typing, Water Absorb and Unaware can still give it useful defensive value in the right limited formats.
Its main issue is low overall stats before evolving, so Wooper usually performs best as a stepping stone into Quagsire or as a niche format pick.
