Timid Nature
- Lovely Kiss
- Nasty Plot

- Psyshock
Jynx solidifies itself as one of PU’s best wallbreakers and sweepers due to its solid, near-unresisted offensive typing, which becomes even harder to deal with because of Psyshock hitting traditional special walls that would check it on the physical side, and ability to augment its already decent Speed and high Special Attack with Z-Lovely Kiss and Nasty Plot, respectively. Lovely Kiss is a major factor in what makes Jynx so threatening due to it incapacitating checks, like Dark-types wielding Sucker Punch, and helping Jynx create setup opportunities for itself. Jynx has even prompted the rise in Choice Scarf Swanna and Togedemaru, since Primeape, the most popular Choice Scarf user, Speed ties with it at +1. However, Jynx has lackluster bulk and poor defensive typing, leaving it susceptible to all forms of priority sans Aqua Jet as well as to Stealth Rock, although it can play around Dark-types with Sucker Punch. Entry hazard removers such as Hitmonchan, Skuntank, and Swanna make for good partners so that Jynx can switch more freely and better handle the forms of priority it isn't weak to.
