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.

Thanks to its bouncy body and fine fur, this Pokémon is sought after. Holding one in your arms while you sleep feels great.

Ultra Sun

When it gets angry, it inhales with all its might, and its body gradually inflates. Sometimes they can grow 20 times larger!

Wigglytuff Weakness

Excellent

Wigglytuff 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.

Wigglytuff's job is getting Stealth Rock up and staying on the field. Aguavberry provides extra utility, Competitive helps it stick around, and max HP and Sp. Def EVs prioritize longevity.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 13 types means almost nothing walls Wigglytuff cleanly, with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

  3. Wigglytuff
    Step 3Wigglytuff ✓

  • We rate Wigglytuff C-Tier — a situational pick that fills a niche. At 435 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Base 140 HP stands out.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Wigglytuff is leaning toward the special side (base 85 Sp. Atk). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • Wigglytuff appears in 21 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

One of the original 151, Wigglytuff has appeared in 21 games — nearly every mainline game. From Red & Blue through the latest titles, it's rarely been left out of a regional Pokedex.
