"Fruit Salad, yummi bunnie?"
Wigglytuff resembles a pink blob with a fluffy tuft of fur on its head and long rabbit-like ears and a white belly. It has large blue eyes and stubby arms and legs like its pre-evolution, Jigglypuff. They are capable of inflating themselves to big sizes in order to scare off enemies. They can also sing soothing lullabies to make anyone fall asleep, but its reputation for doing so isn't as famous as its basic form, Jigglypuff. Like Clefable and its pre-evolutions, Wigglytuff is capable of weilding various elemental attacks!
Despite its cute demeanor, Wigglytuff are sometimes known for being very aggressive and Doubleslapping anyone that gets on their nerves kinda like RTSK.

"Interesting Facts"
Wigglytuff's name is a combination of wiggly and tuff — wiggly refers to its wobbly shape, and tuff may refer to either its toughness or the tuft of hair on its head. Its Japanese name may simply be a corruption of purin, "pudding"

---
Wigglytuff has a plethora of options, but it may be best suited to do more simple things. This set utilizes its respectable defenses and ability to dole out status. Thunder Wave and Sing and ensure that Wiggly can dish out something to almost anything that comes in, and can create serious status issues for the opposing team. Should an obvious physical attack come around, use Counter to throw it back for a knock out. With 429 HP and 199 Defense, it should survive any physical attack, even choice banded, save STAB Focus Punches or other high damage fighting attacks. Seismic Toss is the most reliable attack to use in this set as it dishes out consistent damage, especially in the NU environment with few to no ghosts.
Wigglytuff @ Choice Band

Evs: 252 Atk / 148 Def / 108 SpD

~ Thunderpunch
This angry Wigglytuff is a mean, pink, punchin’ dude. An all-out attacking Wigglytuff is far from expected and the element of surprise can deal a lot of damage. Body Slam is the primary attack with STAB and the ability to paralyze, while the elemental punch combination is for type coverage. Choose the fighting move that fits your style of play.
BAM - Duo potw complete!
