Stats & Training
Igglybuff's spread isn't flashy. HP leads, Defense trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 1 HP EV, on a fast 800K XP curve.
IGGLYBUFF’s vocal chords are not sufficiently developed. It would hurt its throat if it were to sing too much. This POKéMON gargles with freshwater from a clean stream.
IGGLYBUFF has a soft and plushy body that feels very much like a marshmallow. From this body wafts a gently sweet fragrance that soothes and calms the emotions of its foes.
Igglybuff Weakness
Type-wise, Igglybuff takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Only 1 weakness makes it relatively easy to build around defensively.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |

- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet

Moves
Breeding's the move. Fake Tears and Feint Attack give Igglybuff options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 8 types already covers a decent range on top of Facade and Secret Power. The egg moves push it further.
