How to Get Frillish in Winds & Waves

Location info for Winds & Waves is not yet available.

Location details will be added when the game launches.

Frillish Weakness

Frillish is weak to Electric, Grass, Ghost, and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves entirely. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Frillish's special bulk (base 85 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
