Strategy Overview

Jumpluff was always known in previous generations as a fast pivot that could annoy the opposition with its many support moves, such as Encore and Sleep Powder. These days, it can use these moves to ease setup for its surprisingly potent Swords Dance set. Setup opportunities are not all that Jumpluff's support moves offer, as it can also act as a dedicated supporting Pokemon; its Sunny Day and pivot sets are also very effective. However, while other Grass-types in the tier cannot boast the high Speed stat that Jumpluff claims, it still falls short of many of them due to its common weaknesses to Fire-, Ice-, and Rock-type attacks, as well as its crippling Stealth Rock weakness.
