Igglybuff (Japanese: ププリン Pupurin) is a dual-type Normal/Fairy baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Normal-type.
It evolves into Jigglypuff when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone.
Biology
Igglybuff is a small, bipedal balloon-like Pokémon that is completely pink. Its body can change to deep pink when the temperature increases. It has a rounded tuft of hair on top of its head, a small swirl-like pattern on its forehead, and red eyes. Igglybuff has small, stubby limbs. This small Pokémon is extremely elastic and can bounce like a ball, although it may not be able to stop if it does this.
It smells sweet to calm the emotions of its foes. Although it has singing abilities, it is not able to sing for long periods due to its underdeveloped vocal cords. It often gets a sore throat from singing too frequently. Igglybuff tend to live in the grasslands close by freshwater streams. It uses water from the streams to gargle in its sore throat.

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.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
Igglybuff stars as the player character in the special episode Igglybuff the Prodigy. This Igglybuff is the unevolved Guildmaster Wigglytuff from the main story.

Trivia
- Igglybuff is tied with Caterpie, Weedle, Magikarp, Carvanha, Attack Forme Deoxys, and Stonjourner for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
- Igglybuff has the lowest base Defense of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
- Igglybuff is tied with Cleffa and Morelull for the lowest base Speed of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
- A pre-alpha sketch depicts an unused Pokémon with the same Pokédex number as Igglybuff.
- Igglybuff and its evolved forms share their category with Qwilfish and Drifloon. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
Origin
Igglybuff appears to be based on a balloon due to its inflatable body. Its soft fur and singing ability may be based on plush toys that play music to help children fall asleep. Its round shape resembles a powder puff or a cream puff, and its pink color, rubbery skin, and ability to learn Bounce are similar to a rubber ball.
Name origin
Igglybuff may be derived from a shortening of jiggly or wiggly and buff (a pale, soft, flexible leather; referring to its skin).
Pupurin may be derived from プチ puchi (petit), プリン purin (pudding; referring to its soft body), and ぷりぷり puripuri (angrily or in a huff; referring to its personality). It may also involve 風船 fūsen (balloon).
