Mid-stage Pokemon like Jigglypuff rarely see competitive play outside of special formats. It's a waypoint on the road to Wigglytuff, which is where the real potential kicks in. Known as the Balloon Pokemon. Been around since Gen 1.

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

Good

Jigglypuff's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting moves. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Only 1 weakness 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.

    or evolve from Igglybuff (Step 1)

  • Jigglypuff isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Wigglytuff to unlock its full potential. At 270 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.

  • Watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Jigglypuff. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 20 Speed, Jigglypuff won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Igglybuff evolves into Jigglypuff by leveling up. Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff using a Moon Stone. Jigglypuff is a middle-stage evolution in the Igglybuff line.

  • Cute Charm has a 30% chance of infatuating attacking Pokémon on contact — that's the one you want on Jigglypuff. Friend Guard is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Competitive works too if your team needs something different.

  • Jigglypuff fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 45 Attack). Base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Jigglypuff appears in 21 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

Jigglypuff has been part of the series since Red & Blue, appearing in 21 titles across all 9 generations. As a Gen 1 original, it's one of the most consistently available Pokemon in the franchise.
