Biology
Physiology
Igglybuff is a small, balloon-like animal that's pink all over. It has a tuft of hair on top of its 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.

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.

Name origin
Igglybuff's name rhymes with Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff. Its Japanese name is a variation on Purin, 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.
