Jellicent in Pokemon Winds & Waves

Evolution relative Frillish spottedReviewed Oct 13, 2026

Jellicent is on our Winds and Waves list because its evolution relative Frillish was spotted in the announcement trailer. Jellicent itself was not spotted in the official material we reviewed (as of Oct 13, 2026).

We reviewed the announcement trailer gameplay (1:28 to 3:00) and 19 official site screenshots. Official media released later may show more.

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. In previous games, Water Absorb granted an additional Water immunity.

Pokedex Entry

Whenever a full moon hangs in the night sky, schools of Jellicent gather near the surface of the sea, waiting for their prey to appear.

Game Availability

Since Black & White, Jellicent has been obtainable in 7 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Jellicent has appeared steadily across every generation since.
