Jumpluff's spread isn't flashy. Speed leads, Attack trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 3 Speed EVs, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.

Jumpluff travels on seasonal winds. Once its cotton spores run out, its journey ends, as does its life.

Scarlet

Beware its cotton spores. If you accidentally breathe them in, you’ll be racked with coughs and itchiness.

Violet

Jumpluff Weakness

Vulnerable

Ice, Fire, Poison, Flying, and Rock moves hit Jumpluff for super-effective damage. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. Jumpluff's special bulk (base 95 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Start with spread EVs. Timid nature gives Jumpluff the right fast special lean, Covert Cloak adds secondary effect immunity, and Chlorophyll works in the background. Sleep Powder is the main damage option.

Without TMs, Jumpluff's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Normal and Fairy coverage and more on top of Leaf Storm and Solar Beam for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

    or evolve from Skiploom (Step 2)

  • Don't let Jumpluff's 460 base stat total fool you. Chlorophyll is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a pivot.

  • Watch for Cloyster (Ice), Arcanine (Fire), and Nidoking (Poison) when using Jumpluff. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Cloyster is the most dangerous since Ice moves deal 4x damage. Flying and Rock-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Run Chlorophyll on Jumpluff. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Jumpluff also gets Leaf Guard and Infiltrator, but they don't compare.

  • Jumpluff fills the pivot role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 55 Attack). Base 110 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • Run Sleep Powder, Tailwind, Sunnyday, and Encore on Jumpluff. Sleep Powder is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.

Jumpluff first appeared in Gold & Silver and has been available in 16 games across 9 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
