Flavor Text

: It has a soft and bouncy body. Once it starts bouncing, it becomes impossible to stop.
: Its body has a faintly sweet scent and is bouncy and soft. If it bounces even once, it cannot stop.

: Instead of walking with its short legs, it moves around by bouncing on its soft, tender body.
: It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.
: Igglybuff’s vocal cords are not sufficiently developed. It would hurt its throat if it were to sing too much. This Pokémon gargles with freshwater from a clean stream.
: Igglybuff has a soft and plushy body that feels very much like a marshmallow. From this body wafts a gently sweet fragrance that soothes and calms the emotions of its foes.

: It likes to sing but is not yet good at it. With praise and encouragement, it will get better little by little.
: It moves by bouncing along. As it moves a lot, it sweats, and its body gives off a sweet aroma.
: It’s always practicing its singing because it wants to improve. Even when it’s asleep, it keeps singing in its dreams!
: Left to its own devices, it will constantly practice singing. You should make it take a break so it doesn’t hurt its throat.
