Stats & Training
Jigglypuff's spread is anchored by HP, with balanced defenses backing it up. Defense is the clear weak point. Worth 2 HP EVs per KO, and the fast 800K XP curve keeps leveling painless.

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.
