The best moveset for Wigglytuff for GO Battle League includes Charm as Fast Attack and Icy Wind and Disarming Voice as Charged Attacks.

Charm is one of the hardest-hitting Fast Attacks in the game, dealing 6 base damage per turn (including STAB) and generating 2 energy. It is a three-turn move, so you must learn how to time your Charged Attacks perfectly to get the most value out of Wigglytuff.

The addition of Icy Wind to Wigglytuff's move pool has been one of the highlights of the Season 17 balance changes. This 60 base damage move consumes 45 energy. but what makes it excellent is the fact that it is guaranteed to drop the target's Attack by one stage.

Disarming Voice is an 84 base damage (STAB included) Fairy-type Charged Attack that consumes 45 energy.
