Wigglytuff Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Wigglytuff's biggest threats include Gengar (Poison) and Steelix (Steel), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff using a Moon Stone. Wigglytuff is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Igglybuff. It sits at 435 BST in its evolved form.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Wigglytuff can work for a story run. 435 BST is average, but Normal/Fairy typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.

  • For Legends: Z-A, we rate Wigglytuff C-Tier: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. At 435 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Alluringvoice with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.

  • Cute Charm is the go-to ability for Wigglytuff. It has a 30% chance of infatuating attacking Pokémon on contact. Its hidden ability Frisk can work in specific setups. Competitive is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
