Defense Curl Effect

Has the user perform a quick roll, granting it a shield and throwing any opposing Pokémon hit by the roll. Hitting an obstacle while rolling will change the direction the user is moving and reset the cooldown of Pound, Double Slap, or Dazzling Gleam.

How to Use Defense Curl

Hit Opponents Near Walls

When engaging an opponent, use Defense Curl first to catch them Pokemon off-guard with its stun effect. Follow it up with a Pound to pressure their HP. If Wigglytuff hits a wall while in a Defense Curl, your cooldown for the other move refreshes, allowing you to continue your offensive attacks.

You can treat Defense Curl as an escape mechanic to maneuver Wigglytuff out of danger. This will be extremely helpful in the early game where you fight control of over lanes.
