Stats & Training
Raw HP carries Wigglytuff's bulk more than the defenses do. Defense barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Balloon Pokemon that yields 3 HP EVs on a fast 800K XP curve.
It has a very fine fur. Take care not to make it angry, or it may inflate steadily and hit with a body slam.
The rich, fluffy fur that covers its body feels so good that anyone who feels it can’t stop touching it.
Wigglytuff Weakness
Wigglytuff is weak to Poison and Steel. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost and Dragon-type moves entirely. With 140 HP and balanced defenses, Wigglytuff can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
