Igglybuff (Japanese: ププリン Pupurin) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Jigglypuff via happiness, who evolves into Wigglytuff via Template:Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Igglybuff is a small, balloon-like animal that's pink all over. It has a tuft of hair on top of it's head and red eyes in contrast to the teal eyes of its later evolutions.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

This small Pokémon is extremely elastic and can bounce like a ball. It may not be able to stop if it does this. It also displays the singing abilities of it's evolutions, but isn't able to sing as long as they can. It also smells sweet to calm the emotions of it's foes.

Behavior

Igglybuff's extremely flexible and elastic body makes it bounce continuously. If it starts to roll, its bouncing can become out of control and very difficult to stop. Igglybuff can often be found practicing its singing. If it continously sings strenuously, its body slowly turns a deepening pink color. Igglybuff's vocal chords are not sufficiently developed however and it can often end up with a sore throat from singing too much.

Habitat

Igglybuff tend to live in grassland close by freshwater streams. They use water from the streams to gargle in their sore throats, which can occur from straining their vocal chords.

In the anime

Igglybuff was first seen as one of the Pokémon in the Pichu Brothers' Possé in Pikachu & Pichu.

Igglybuff twins appeared in Same Old Song and Dance. These Igglybuff were owned by a girl named Brittany and were practicing for a concert. Jigglypuff was jealous towards the Igglybuff twins as they were stealing its audience.

An Igglybuff was one of the Pokémon Spoink mistook for its lost pearl in Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend.

An Igglybuff appeared in Hungry For the Good Life! in Monica's care.

In the manga

Whitney owns an Igglybuff.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Igglybuff only appears as a random trophy.

Trophy information

Igglybuff, which evolve into Jigglypuff, are so incredibly elastic that they always seem to be bouncing. They have stubby legs, so for these Pokémon, bounding from place to place is much faster than walking. Unlike its equally adorable relatives, Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff, Igglybuff has red eyes.

Trivia

  • Igglybuff is one of the few Pokémon to change its Template:Shiny2 form between generations. In Generation II, the alternate color had a green swirl and green eyes. In Generation III, Igglybuff's color became a little darker and there was red added to the still green eyes. In Generation IV, there was no more green.
  • Due to Igglybuff's soft, flexible pink body and its round shape, it bears a resemblance to Kirby. It shares these characteristics with Cleffa and Happiny. Igglybuff is also similar to Kirby because of its balloon-like characteristics.
  • Although the Pokédex states that when it starts rolling it becomes impossible to stop, it can not learn Rollout by level-up.

Name origin

Igglybuff's name rhymes with Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff. Its Japanese name is a variation on Template:P2, the Japanese word for pudding, or the addition of an extra pu to Jigglypuff's Japanese name – a combination of 風船 fūsen, balloon, and 膨れる fukureru, to expand or inflate.

In other languages

  • German: Fluffeluff
  • French: Toudoudou - From tout (all) and doux (soft) doubled.
  • Korean: 푸푸린 Pupurin
