Is Jigglypuff Good in Red & Blue Playthrough?
Jigglypuff's enormous HP pool means nothing when everything else is this low. Can't deal damage, can't take hits despite the HP, and barely moves. MoveSing is unreliable. Not a Pokemon you want on a serious playthrough team.

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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent
- Ghost has no effect on Psychic (a known bug, fixed in Gen II)
- Special stat governs both offense and defense — no Sp.Atk / Sp.Def split

Moves List
Without TMs, Jigglypuff's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get coverage across 7 types on top of Skull Bash and Double-Edge for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.
