Is Jumpluff Good in Ruby & Sapphire Playthrough?
AbilityChlorophyll makes Jumpluff one of the fastest Pokemon under Groudon's sun. And it still can't deal damage. Speed without offense is the same story in Gen 3 as it was in Gen 2. MoveSleep Powder remains the one trick. Trade-only and still a gimmick.
