A triple stager, Yorterii is one of those Pokemon who starts off weakly but has a big payoff in its final evolution. You can't go wrong with any of his three abilities, and his Sand Fence ability (note: this is a new ability introduced in B&W, so we're not sure what the official English translation for it will be) is particularly useful on Route 4. Make sure you don't waste your time teaching Murando any Special Attack moves, since his SAtk stat is dismal. You won't be tempted to though, since he has such a huge movepool of Physical STAB moves at his disposal.
