Jynx has a language with several cry patterns that sounds similar to human speech. However, this language has yet to be deciphered. It prefers to communicate by using dance-like movements. These rhythmic movements often cause people to dance along with it. It puts its enemies to sleep using its signature move, {{m|Lovely Kiss}}. Jynx often is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Jynx's most notable role is being under the ownership of [[Lorelei]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Lorelei's Jynx is noted for having the ability to generate voodoo dolls out of ice using its {{m|Ice Beam}}. When Lorelei draws crosses on any part of the dolls using her lipstick, ice shackles form on the specified body parts of her targets, eventually freezing the victim over completely. Even after the victims are broken free, the freeze induces lasting numbness in the areas where it was applied. Both {{adv|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] suffered this condition and had to seek a cure atop [[Mt. Silver]] by bathing in the hotsprings there. Another ability of Lorelei's Jynx is revealed in the [[Sevii Islands]] saga: she can create a wispy band of ice around targets, which Lorelei can use to track them down using her powder case.
Jynx debuted in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'' under the ownership of [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]. She was used to attack Red and Green after they tricked Team Rocket and capture Mew. When she attacked Mew, Red and Green tried to defend it, only to be defeated. Mew retaliates against her and freezes her and Ken while sparing Red and Green.

[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|right|Jynx's original design in the anime|150px]]
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|right|Jynx's original design in the anime|150px]]
Jynx originally bore a striking, but possibly coincidental, resemblance to entertainers in {{wp|blackface}}. It is argued that Jynx may instead be a parody of or homage to the Japanese ''{{wp|ganguro}}'' and ''{{wp|Ganguro#Yamanba|yamanba}}'' fashion trends, which were extremely popular when Pokémon was first released; however, blackface-influenced characters have appeared in other anime and manga such as {{wp|Dragon Ball}}'s Mr. Popo and in {{wp|Metropolis (manga)|Metropolis}}.
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that Jynx, which appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans in an article titled "Politically Incorrect Pokémon" on the magazine ''Black World Today''. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.


As Pokémon became more popular in the US, this perceived similarity to a racist image from America's past offended some. In particular, it had offended children's book author {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, who accused Jynx of being a racist stereotype in an article titled "Politically Incorrect Pokémon" in the magazine ''Black World Today'', shortly after the anime episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' aired. Episodes that contained Jynx in its original design were left unaired outside of Japan, including [[EP250]] and portions of ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly]]'', with the exceptions of ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'', ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', and the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment of ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.
Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub. Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, and this change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of {{g|Snap}} and {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} also recolor Jynx's face.


In response to this controversy, [[Nintendo]] changed the color of Jynx's dark blue hands and its black face to purple in Pokémon games, including in the international versions of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In addition to this, Jynx's facial expression in its Silver sprites were also changed, as was its hair color in both her normal and {{Shiny}} forms. Jynx has since appeared using its new design, with the exception of some side-games, free of issues. The [[Wii#Virtual Console games|Virtual Console]] versions of {{g|Snap}} and {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} recolor Jynx's face.
In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion. Another theory is that Jynx is based on a Nordic princess as per the legends saying things like due to the blistering cold, a princess's skin turned black. They argue that Jynx's hair looks more like royalty than an African stereotype. They also say that being based on a {{wp|Viking}} could reason why they are {{t|Ice}} type. This is further expressed by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}.

{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Jynx}}
What Jynx is based on is a controversial topic within the fandom, although common interpretations are a Nordic or a Viking woman (possibly {{wp|Hel (goddess)|Hel}}, goddess of the underworld), or ガングロ ''{{wp|ganguro}}'' (face-black). Also, the fact that Jynx are depicted as Santa's helpers in the anime may reference the folklore character {{wp|Zwarte Piet}}. Jynx also has the traits of a female opera singer, especially the iconic cartoon depiction of the {{wp|It ain't over till the fat lady sings|fat lady}}; it should also be noted that {{g|Snap}} and the third generation sprites depict it singing, especially the Emerald sprite that animates it singing a high note. Jynx may also have origins in the Japanese spirits known as {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, who lack feet, akin to Jynx's feet being covered by its dress, and {{wp|Yama-uba}}, which is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, control over snow, dark-colored skin, and large lips, traits which are evident in Jynx.

It may also be based on {{wp|Yama-uba}} (also called Yamanba), a {{wp|yōkai}} which is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, control over snow, dark-colored skin, and large lips, traits which are evident in Jynx. "Yamanba" is also a slang for the extreme end of ganguro fashion, which involves bleached hair, artificial tanning, and heavy applying of brightly-colored lipstick.


Its revised coloring may be based on purple discoloration of the skin, a common symptom of {{wp|frostbite}}. This fits with Jynx's {{t|Ice}} type and how it is found in very cold places.
