I'm glad to see somebody other than me make an effort to stop these annoying comparisons. Just because Arceus is called the "God of Pokémon" doesn't mean it's worth comparing stats. SharKing 16:12, 13 September 2008 (UTC)SharKing

BrightPowder!

Just traded a Wigglytuff from Pokémon Red version to Crystal version and it was holding a BrightPowder. This item is only supposed to be held by Pokémon with a catch rate of 3 (i.e. Legendary Birds and Mewtwo). I don't remember where I caught this Wigglytuff but it is Level 19, so it's most likely a Jigglypuff which was evolved into Wigglytuff immediately. hfc2X 02:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Locked

Since Jigglypuff was added to the fairy type it is likely Wigglytuff will be one as well but we're best locking the page till it is confirmed.--Ovidkid (talk) 21:54, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Can we assume that Wigglytuff is a Moon Rabbit in origin now?

-Evolves after using a Moon Stone

-Has rabbit ears

-Is a Fairy type and Moonlight and MoonBlast are Fairy moves

This may seem debatable for people that are critical on evidence, but I feel that they gave out allot of hints on this pokemon's inspiration that doesn't make the "Moon rabbit" base less obvious.

Wigglytough

Is the part explaining the naming of this Pokémon "Wigglytuff" rather than "Wigglytough" due to name limit really necessary? Mangaman13 (talk) 00:08, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

No it isn't, so now it's gone. Glik (talk) 00:34, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Japanese Name Origin

The part about fuusen and fukureru seems really flimsy. More so for the other two evolutions but here, too. My problem is that the names are Purin, Pukurin, and Pupurin. Purin is clearly the very commonly used transliteration of Pudding used commonly. There is no good reason to assume it has anything to do with the word for balloon. An argument could be made for fukureru indirectly by way of puku-puku which can be used to mean cute and chubby, pudgy, or (most relevantly) puffed up. --Vanya (talk) 13:36, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
