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.
Recordings of Jigglypuff’s strange lullabies can be purchased from department stores. These CDs can be found near the bedding area.
The songs they sing are totally different depending on the region they live in. Some even sound like they’re shouting!
