Stats & Training
Jellicent's built to absorb hits, not race for knockouts. Special bulk with Sp. Def doing the heavy lifting. And the medium-fast 1M XP curve means it won't take forever to bring up, worth 2 Sp. Def EVs.
Its body is mostly seawater. It’s said there’s a castle of ships Jellicent have sunk on the seafloor.
The fate of the ships and crew that wander into Jellicent’s habitat: all sunken, all lost, all vanished.
Jellicent Weakness
Electric, Grass, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Jellicent for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Jellicent's special bulk (base 105 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Poison, Bug, Steel |

In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Serperior's Leaf Storm hits Jellicent for 67-79%. Weavile deals 70-83% with Knock Off.

Jellicent Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Jellicent looks average on paper at 480 BST. But Water Absorb is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Recover with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Raikou (Electric), Breloom (Grass), and Chandelure (Ghost) when using Jellicent. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dark-type attackers are also a problem.
Jellicent gets Water Absorb, Cursed Body, and Damp. But Water Absorb is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Jellicent is a special attacker with base 85 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Recover, Will O Wisp, Taunt, and Scald on Jellicent. Recover is the most common pick at 24% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.
