Wiglett Best Moveset

Water at 55 Attack and 95 Speed. 10 HP is the lowest in the format. Any hit that connects ends the game regardless of damage. The moveset goes fast and dies immediately. Evolve to Wugtrio for 100 Attack and 120 Speed, though the bulk barely improves.

★Gen IX — Scarlet & Violet / Legends Z-AF

Wiglett was a niche pick at best in Gen IX (Scarlet & Violet / Legends Z-A), rarely seen in standard play. This was Wiglett's competitive peak. Its most popular set ran Gooey with Brightpowder, favoring a Calm nature.
