Jigglypuff

Say it: JIG-lee-puff

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Jigglypuff is the Balloon Pokémon — Normal and Fairy middle stage between Igglybuff and Wigglytuff. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Wigglytuff — not a finished raid attacker. Fairy helps against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting; Poison and Steel hit Fairy hard. Evolve Igglybuff up the line.

Jigglypuff (#039) is a Normal / Fairy Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Igglybuff. Trainers almost never power Jigglypuff for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Wigglytuff.
