Is Wigglytuff Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?

Massive HP on a Normal-type with AbilityCute Charm. Wigglytuff absorbs hits through volume rather than Defense. The infatuation from Cute Charm occasionally saves a fight. Doesn't threaten any gym leader or E4 member. Wigglytuff endures rather than wins.

How to Get Wigglytuff in FireRed & LeafGreen

Wigglytuff needs a Moon Stone on Jigglypuff, but Jigglypuff itself barely exists in the wild with just two encounters. Tough chain to start.

Wild Wigglytuff may be holding when caught:

Oran Berry (50% chance) When held by a Pokemon, it will be used in battle to restore 10 HP.

Catch Jigglypuff at any of these 1 spot to eventually evolve into Wigglytuff.

FRLG Wigglytuff Best Moveset

140 HP is enormous but 45 Defense and 45 Speed erase the advantage immediately. Normal type with AbilityCute Charm for contact disruption. The moveset tries special coverage from 85 Sp. Atk, but the defensive stats mean Wigglytuff rarely survives long enough to use it.
