Stats & Training
Jigglypuff's spread is anchored by HP, with balanced defenses backing it up. Defense is the clear weak point. Worth 2 HP stat exp per KO, and the fast 800K XP curve keeps leveling painless.
If it inflates to SING a lullaby, it can perform longer and cause sure drowsiness in its audience.
Looking into its cute, round eyes causes it to sing a relaxing melody, inducing its enemies to sleep.
Jigglypuff Weakness
Jigglypuff's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Only 1 weakness makes it relatively easy to build around defensively.
