Location details will be added when the game launches.

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.

WW Jellicent Best Moveset

Water/Ghost typing and AbilityWater Absorb earned Jellicent a top-tier spot in Gen V (Black & White) as one of the best spinblockers available. Better Ghost-types replaced it every generation after. This moveset runs Held ItemLeftovers with NatureBold and Water/Ghost moves for a defensive switch-in that lost its niche.
