[OVERVIEW]
Jellicent is one of the many defensive Water-types in the tier. Compared to its competitors such as Lanturn and Vaporeon, however, Jellicent brings to the table an excellent Ghost typing further enhanced by its myriad of supportive options such as Will-O-Wisp, Taunt, and Recover. Because of this, Jellicent an effective switch-in to Fighting-types like Choice Scarf Passimian as well as an excellent defensive check to Fire-types like Talonflame and Charizard. Jellicent also provides teams additional utility by punishing Water-types or Choice-locked attackers depending on if it's running Water Absorb or Cursed Body. However, Jellicent can be rather passive due to its low offensive capabilities and reliance on status as the typical way of dealing damage. Furthermore, Jellicent struggles versus common special attackers such as Heliolisk, as many of them can comfortably switch in and typically are not bothered by Will-O-Wisp or Toxic.

[SET COMMENTS]
Will-O-Wisp is the preferred status move as a way to catch many physical attackers that threaten Jellicent such as Virizion, Guzzlord, Togedemaru, and especially Toxicroak; however, Toxic can be used here in order to better cripple bulkier checks such as Lanturn and opposing Jellicent. Hex is preferred as the sole attacking move on this set because it pairs well with its status moves versus bulkier defensive answers such as Vaporeon. Colbur Berry is the optimal item in order to weaken Knock Off from the likes of Passimian or Scrafty, but Heavy-Duty Boots can be used in order to be immune to entry hazards. Gigalith makes a fantastic partner for Jellicent, as not only is it a good check to Heliolisk, but with Sand Stream and Will-O-Wisp further supported by hazards, its residual damage also can severely cripple offensive answers to Jellicent like Guzzlord and Vikavolt. Conversely, Gigalith appreciates Jellicent's ability to reliably provide a Fighting immunity versus Choice-locked attackers like Passimian. Silvally-Fairy is also a fine partner, (AC) since it acts as a Knock Off absorber if Jellicent isn't running Colbur Berry and handles Dark-types such as Absol. Virizion makes a great offensive partner for Jellicent thanks to its ability to offensively check Heliolisk, Guzzlord, and Absol, whereas Jellicent can comfortably check Talonflame. 44 Speed EVs allow Jellicent to outspeed Vaporeon and Taunt as it tries to cripple Jellicent with Toxic or heal itself with Wish.
