By capitalizing on the weaknesses of Pokemon GO Wigglytuff, trainers can take the monster down in raids. This Normal and Fairy-type Pocket Monster takes significant damage from Poison and Steel-type attacks. However, it is resistant to Dragon, Ghost, Bug, and Dark-type moves. With that in mind, you should prioritize moves that deal the creature great damage.

As a 3-star raid boss, Wigglytuff will have the following statistics:

• CP: 10,541
• Attack: 156
• Defense: 90
• Hit Points: 3000

The creature will use the following moves in its raid:

• Fast Attacks: Pound, Fient Attack, and Charm
• Charged Attacks: Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Disarming Voice, Dazzling Gleam, Play Rough, and Ice Wind

The Pokemon GO Wigglytuff raid boss’s strongest attack is Hyper Beam, followed by Dazzling Gleam, Play Rough, and Ice Beam. The time given to beat this creature is 180 seconds, so you need counters that can withstand its powerful hits. Additionally, the Pokemon you use against Wigglytuff should also be robust enough to counterattack it.
