White Herb will reset Whismur's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Hammer Arm).

With Rattled, Whismur's speed is raised 1 stage if hit by a bug- dark- or ghost-type attack.
♦ Return is a physical STAB-boosted 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
♦ Hammer Arm is a physical 100-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Whismur's speed by 1 stage).

♦ Fire Punch is a physical 75-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target).
♦ Ice Punch is a physical 75-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target).
