Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Wigglytuff Best Moveset

Wigglytuff doesn't rely on pure speed. Leftovers gives it passive recovery each turn to stay healthy, and Modest nature still pushes offense. Dazzling Gleam and Fire coverage keep the pressure on while max HP and Sp. Atk EVs balance power and survivability.
