Free switch-ins on Normal and Fighting moves make Jellicent useful in any team that needs that coverage. Water Absorb heals when hit by Water moves. Known as the Floating Pokemon. Can go either physical or special depending on the set.

Jellicent's built to absorb hits, not race for knockouts. Special bulk with Sp. Def doing the heavy lifting. And the medium-fast 1M XP curve means it won't take forever to bring up, worth 2 Sp. Def EVs.

Jellicent Weakness

Excellent

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.

  • 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 on our tier list.

  • 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.

  • Frillish evolves into Jellicent at level 40. Jellicent is the fully evolved form. At 480 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • 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. But the speed tells the real story — at base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.

  • Jellicent appears in 8 games, including Black & White, Black 2 & White 2, and X & Y.

Since Black & White, Jellicent has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Jellicent has appeared steadily across every generation since.
