Jumpluff Weakness

Ice, Fire, Poison, Flying, and Rock moves hit Jumpluff for super-effective damage. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. Jumpluff's special bulk (base 95 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Chlorophyll helps Jumpluff stick around while dealing real damage. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, spread EVs for the right balance, and Leech Seed as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.
