General description:
Wigglytuff is usually not a valuable player in the video game series because he has a lower defense than other pokémon, but in the card game, he’s on equal footing. And he has an awesome Poké-power here. Not to mention he is colorless, so he can fit into almost any deck!
Uses:
Just a stage 1 pokémon – play him to evolve a Jigglypuff.
Strategies and game play:
The best strategy is to keep Wigglytuff on the bench and let his Poké-power keep your opponent off balance by eliminating the effects of special conditions. Still, Wigglytuff can dish out 30 hit points of damage if he is dragged into battle, and with Meteor Falls, he could gain a sleep attack or the ability to heal. Coming up against a player who can remove special conditions each round with no effort can be truly frustrating!
Combos with other cards:
Wigglytuff can be enhanced by Meteor Falls which would allow it to use attacks from the Jigglypuff card beneath it. A good Jigglypuff would be the one from Magma v Aqua because it can heal by resting or the new Jigglypuff from Great Encounters (which has 60 hit points).
Ways to counteract it:
A good counter attack would be a trainer card that cancels poké-powers like Cessation Crystal.
Strengths/Pros:
Moderately high hit points, colorless type, ability to remove special conditions, low retreat cost
Weaknesses/Cons:
Can’t evolve into a stage 2 pokémon. Weak to fighting types and has no resistances. Poké-power only works when Wigglytuff is benched.
Variations:
There is a an alternate holographic version available. Like most pokémon cards, it’s available in many languages.
Artwork and aesthetics:
This has great artwork, and the vibrant cartoon-style illustration makes it stand out from the rest.
Overall rating:
