Jynx (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Jynx debuts in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'' under the ownership of [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]. She is used to attack Red and Green after they trick Team Rocket and take Mew. When she attacks Mew, Red and Green try to defend it, only to be defeated. Mew retaliates against her and freezes her and Ken while sparing Red and Green.

Most notably, there is a Jynx under the ownership of [[Lorelei]] which first appeared in ''[[PS068|Jigglypuff Jive]]''. 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 have broken free, the freeze induces lasting numbness in the areas where it was applied. Both {{adv|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] suffer this condition and have 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.

Later a Jynx appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to help during the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].
