Jigglypuff Weakness

Jigglypuff's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Only 1 weakness makes it relatively easy to build around defensively.

Black 2 & White 2 Jigglypuff Best Moveset

Moves

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Jigglypuff won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 13 types means it always has an effective option. Last Resort and Double-Edge anchor the STAB core.
