Jigglypuff Weakness

Jigglypuff's Normal/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel. It shrugs off Ghost and Dragon-type attacks completely. Only 2 weaknesses makes it relatively easy to build around defensively.

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Jigglypuff won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 12 types means it always has an effective option. Last Resort and Double-Edge anchor the STAB core.
