Ghost and Dragon moves don't affect Wigglytuff at all — that's the advantage of Normal/Fairy typing. It works well under Trick Room. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets. An original Gen 1 pick.
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.
The more air it takes in, the more it inflates. If opponents catch it in a bad mood, it will inflate itself to an enormous size to intimidate them.
It’s proud of its fur, which is fine and delicate. In particular, the curl on its forehead has a texture that’s perfectly heavenly.
Wigglytuff Weakness
ExcellentWigglytuff is weak to Poison and Steel-type moves. 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.
Getting Wigglytuff requires an evolution item, not just grinding levels. The chain starts at Igglybuff. Breed this form to get Igglybuff eggs (quick to hatch). HP grew the most through evolution (+50 over Igglybuff), and Wigglytuff peaks at 435 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Wigglytuff to get Igglybuff eggs easily using 41 partners from the Fairy egg group. Notable egg moves include Covet, Gravity, Heal Pulse and 5 more.
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.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 12 types means almost nothing walls Wigglytuff cleanly, with Self-Destruct and Giga Impact anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

This 3-stage chain starts with Igglybuff, a baby that doesn't spawn wild. Breed Jigglypuff at the nursery to hatch one, then level through the stages to reach Wigglytuff.
