Jellicent Weakness
Electric, Grass, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Jellicent for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Jellicent's special bulk (base 105 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

USUM Jellicent Best Moveset
100 HP and 105 Sp. Def with Water/Ghost typing blocking Normal, Fighting, Water (via AbilityWater Absorb), and Fire. AbilityCursed Body disables moves. 85 Sp. Atk provides moderate Water TermStab. But 60 Speed and moderate offense leave the moveset too passive. D-tier through defensive typing without enough power to pressure.

Moves List
Don't skip the egg moves. Jellicent picks up Acid Armor and Confuse Ray only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Water Spout and Hydro Pump while coverage across 8 types adds range.

Jellicent Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Jellicent looks average on paper at 480 BST. But Water Absorb is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier support on our tier list. Recover with Iapapaberry is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Raikou (Electric), Breloom (Grass), and Chandelure (Ghost) when using Jellicent. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dark-type attackers are also a problem.
Jellicent gets Water Absorb, Cursed Body, and Damp. But Water Absorb is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Jellicent is a special attacker with base 85 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the support role.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Recover, Scald, Ice Beam, and Trickroom on Jellicent. Recover is the most common pick at 0% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
