Stats & Training
Jigglypuff's spread is anchored by HP, with balanced defenses backing it up. Defense is the clear weak point. Worth 2 HP EVs per KO, and the fast 800K XP curve keeps leveling painless.
Nothing can avoid falling asleep hearing a JIGGLYPUFF’s song. The sound waves of its singing voice match the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep.
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.
