########
- Horrible defensive typing, it resists only its own two types and has a large number of weaknesses, as well as a 2x Stealth Rock Weakness.
- Decent Speed and a good Special Attack stat, yet extremely poor physical bulk.
- Possesses a nice movepool to utilize quite a few sets.

nature: Modest
Moves
========
- Substitute is used simply to let Jynx survive a bit longer, especially against physical moves that will OHKO Jynx.
- Ice Beam gets STAB, and combined with base 115 Special Attack, creates a large dent in the opponent's HP.
- Psychic is also a viable option for the same reason. Or you can use Psyshock against nasty Special Walls.
- Unlike most other energy-draining moves, Draining Kiss heals Jynx by 3/4 of the damage she dished out, and this amount increases with the item Big Root.
- Calm Mind raises the Special stats to larger proportions, and buys Jynx more turns on the battlefield.
Set Details
========
- Maximum Spa is used to ward off opponents and heal more damage.
- As Jynx is rather frail, Big Root is chosen as an item to heal more HP.
- Oblivious erases possible taunts, which could cripple this set.
- For a Pokémon doing its best to last long, a Bold or Calm nature is normally preffered, but Modest was chosen to increase the damage output.
Usage Tips
========
- This set is only effective against Special Attackers, as Jynx cannot withstand a single/two physical hits.
- It is useful as an early-game tank, as it is capable of eradicating some of your other Pokémons' checks.
========
- Onix and Doublade can assist Jynx, with the ability to switch into Rock-type moves (or any physical moves) aimed at Jynx. Doublade can also protect her from Steel-type moves.
Other Options
========
- Energy Ball for Grass-coverage.
- Focus Blast for Fighting-coverage.
- Water Pulse for Water-coverage.
========
- Physical Attackers with Super-effective STAB (or even without), like Ninjask Gigalith, are major threats to Jynx.
- Stealth Rock users also cripple Jynx.
