Biology

Igglybuff is a baby Pokémon and the pre-evolution of Jigglypuff. It has a pink, round, elastic body. Igglybuff, as well as the rest of its evolutionary line, are capable of being picked up and blown away by the wind.

They like to sing; unlike Jigglypuff, Igglybuff are not capable of knocking people unconscious with their voice yet.

Design & origin

Igglybuff's English name is a combination of "jiggly" and "buff".
