[OVERVIEW]
When equipped with a Choice Specs, Jellicent becomes an incredible threatening offensive Pokemon thanks to its insanely powerful moves and coverage, which hit the majority of the tier's defensive staples like Regirock, Sandaconda, and Hattrem for super effective damage.

Water Spout is an incredibly strong, STAB-boosted move when Jellicent is at full HP and should be the move that is used most of the time, as it's able to hit the large majority of the tier, including defensive stalwarts like Sandaconda, Regirock, and Aggron, making Jellicent incredibly difficult to switch into. Special tanks like Audino can't switch into it, making the only real reliable switch-ins bulky, Water-resistant Pokemon like Ferroseed, opposing Wishiwashi, and Eldegoss. However, Shadow Ball hits these foes for neutral damage, forcing severe chip damage. Trick lets Jellicent cripple checks like Audino, Pyukumuku, and Ferroseed. Surf is a strong secondary Water-type attack in case Jellicent gets worn down. Hydro Pump can also be run, as it has a higher base power, making it more difficult to switch into, notably 2HKOing Aromatisse and Tangela after Stealth Rock, but its inaccuracy makes it less reliable than Surf. Pairing Jellicent with pivots like Archeops, Togedemaru, and Scyther lets it get onto the field safely, usually against physical walls lured in by these pivots like Quagsire, Tangela, or Regirock. Entry hazards irritate Jellicent and weaken Water Spout, making deterring or removing teammates like Charizard, Hattrem, and Eldegoss incredibly valuable. Furthermore, it loves having entry hazard support to make it even harder to switch into, making entry hazard setters like Garbodor, Aggron, and Ferroseed valued teammates, as they also form a defensive core to handle Pokemon that offensively pressure Jellicent, such as Scyther, Gallade, and Ribombee. Defensive answers to Electric- and Grass-types like Sandaconda, Eldegoss, and Charizard are incredibly good to cover Jellicents weaknesses.
