Strategy Overview

On paper, Jynx may not look like much, as her excellent Speed and fantastic Special Attack stats are overshadowed by mediocre HP and abysmal Defense. However, Jynx's precise offensive movepool, her myriad support options, and her access to a reliable sleep move mean that despite her physical frailty and unfortunate typing, Jynx can be a potent sweeper in the right hands. After shutting down her counters with Lovely Kiss and boosting her Special Attack with Nasty Plot, she can devastate unprepared teams.
