Walkatrout is physically very weak, being unable to break through the museum's doors^[6] and he is not suited for hand-to-hand combat. He also has no hands, which makes grabbing things impossible for him.

Walkatrout is not very fast, as Ben was disappointed transforming into him when he was trying to run away.^[7]

Walkatrout is very small, giving him a disadvantage against larger opponents. He is only as tall as a Vaxasaurian's foot.^[3] Despite this, Walkatrout is still unable to fit into cramped spaces such as toilets without assistance.^[8]

While Walkatrout's slippery body can be used well as a strength, it also prevents him from being held up by his teammates.^[2]

Walkatrout's tail is weakness point, because he can be held up by it.^[3]

Being an Ickthyperambuloid, Walkatrout is vulnerable to his natural predator.^{[DJW 2]}
