Stats & Training
Raw HP carries Wigglytuff's bulk more than the defenses do. Defense barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Balloon Pokemon that yields 3 HP EVs on a fast 800K XP curve.
Thanks to its bouncy body and fine fur, this Pokémon is sought after. Holding one in your arms while you sleep feels great.
When it gets angry, it inhales with all its might, and its body gradually inflates. Sometimes they can grow 20 times larger!
Wigglytuff Weakness
Wigglytuff is weak to Poison and Steel. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost and Dragon-type moves entirely. With 140 HP and balanced defenses, Wigglytuff can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
