Igglybuff Weakness

Type-wise, Igglybuff takes extra damage from Poison and Steel. Ghost and Dragon moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity.

Legends: Z-A Igglybuff Best Moveset

The special wall spread is where Igglybuff earns its spot. Eviolite for a bulk boost that only works before full evolution, Calm nature for the right lean, and Wish handles sustain. Competitive does the rest without needing a move slot.

Stall teams hate this. Igglybuff can spread damage across 10 types, with Rock and Psychic punishing common defensive pivots. STAB from Double-Edge and Take Down keeps the pressure honest on everything else.
