'''Jynx''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルージュラ''' ''Rougela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Biology==
Jynx is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon that resembles a bulky woman. Jynx wears a red gown that hides its feet and has white arms with purple hands. There are golden circles on the chest area of its gown. Jynx has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes, and long blonde hair. Originally, its face was colored black, causing [[Pokémon Controversy#Jynx|controversy]]. Jynx is a female only species with no true male counterpart.

Jynx is a bipedal, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a woman. It has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes, and long blonde hair. It wears a red gown with two gold circlets on the chest. While the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' showed it to possess feet, the games show only blackness under the dress, and it lacks a [[footprint]]. Despite this, it is able to learn the kicking move {{m|Triple Axel}}. It has white arms and five-fingered purple hands. Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterpart.


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}}.
Originally, its face was colored black. [[Pokémon Stadium]]'s fainting animation had it disappear leaving only its hair behind, implying that what appears to be dark-colored skin is actually just darkness.


==In the anime==
Jynx has a language that sounds similar to human speech and includes several cry patterns. However, this language has yet to be deciphered. It prefers to communicate by using dance-like movements. There are some musicians who compose songs for Jynx to sing. These rhythmic movements often cause people to dance along with it. The Jynx in [[Alola]] are said to have wonderful precise movements. In certain parts of [[Galar]], it has been feared and worshiped while being called the "Queen of Ice". The Jynx in Galar are said to have beautiful and delicate voices and a fanbase dedicated to them. Jynx are able to extend their lips to kiss its opponent. Jynx often is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.
[[File:Jynx anime.png|left|thumb|Jynx in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Jynx first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. One of [[Santa Claus]]'s Jynx was separated from him. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} helped to return the Jynx to her owner.


[[Lorelei|Prima]] owns a Jynx. She used her to send {{TRT}} flying in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.
Jynx is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Lovely Kiss}} by leveling up.
{{left clear}}


A [[Nurse Joy]] in [[EP250]] owned a Jynx, rather than a {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}. In this [[banned episodes|banned episode]], {{an|Brock}} almost kissed this Human Shape Pokémon during his sickly state.
===Evolution===
Jynx evolves from {{p|Smoochum}}.


A Jynx was also used by a girl named [[Erica]] in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''. ''Mean With Envy'' also marked the first appearance of Jynx's purple redesign in the anime.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
 
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
A trio of Jynx sisters were in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby!]]''. These three Jynx were overly-protective towards their sister, a {{p|Smoochum}}. The Smoochum evolved into a Jynx at the end of the episode.

==In the manga==
[[File:Jynx MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Jynx in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Jynx (MPJ)}}
A fortune-telling Jynx appears in the manga [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. {{MPJ|Arbok}} goes to Jynx's fortune-telling hut to find out if he has a chance with his crush, {{MPJ|Wigglytuff}}.
 
===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.
 
A Jynx also made an appearance in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'' under the ownership of [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]].
 
Later a Jynx appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].
 
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Jynx took part in a baseball match with {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.
 
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
Shū has a Jynx in the [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] manga.

[[File:Jynx Foot.png|thumb|right|Jynx's foot]]
* As its [[Pokédex]] entries state that Jynx speaks an incomprehensible language, the {{player}}, as a Pokémon, cannot understand anything it says in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]].
* Jynx and its pre-evolution {{p|Smoochum}} are the only Pokémon with the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] {{2t|Ice|Psychic}}.
* A [[Capsule Monsters]] [[Media:Capsule Monsters Buhi.jpg|concept sketch]] depicts an unused Pokémon design with the same Pokédex number as Jynx.
** Jynx is also the only Generation I Pokémon that still has a unique type combination and is not part {{type|Poison}}.
* Jynx's sprite in the Virtual Console re-release of {{game|Yellow}} uses five colors instead of four. To achieve this effect, some of the 8×8 tiles composing the sprite use an altered palette, where black is replaced with purple, which is technically possible on a [[Game Boy Color]] game.
* As its Pokédex entries state that Jynx speaks an incomprehensible language, the player, as a Pokémon, cannot understand anything it says in the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series.
* [[Pokémon Stadium series|The Pokémon Stadium games]] feature a kicking animation for Jynx, in which its feet appear out of nowhere, disconnected from its body, to perform moves such as {{m|Mega Kick}}. This is one of the rare instances where its feet can be seen in the games, considering Jynx's lack of [[footprint]]s.
* When Jynx faints in the {{g|Stadium series}}, everything but its hair vanishes, implying that its armor and black "skin" is darkness. Similarly, in {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], it simply vanishes upon fainting.
* Jynx is the only Pokémon to have {{a|Dry Skin}} as its [[Hidden Ability]].
* Although Jynx has been seen to possess feet in the anime, it does not have a [[footprint]].
** When Jynx is viewed from underneath via the 3D-rendered Pokédex in the Stadium and {{pkmn|X and Y}} games, nothing but darkness is shown underneath its dress.
* A [[a:File:Capsule Monsters Buhi.jpg|pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an unreleased Pokémon with the same Pokédex number as Jynx.
* Jynx has the longest [[cry]] of any Pokémon, lasting 2.238 seconds.

===Controversies===
{{main|Pokémon controversy#Racism|Pokémon controversy}}
====Sexism====
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|right|Jynx's original design in the anime|150px]]
In September 1999, Mary C. Morton released an article in The Washington Post titled "Pokemon: The Dark Side"<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1999/09/04/pokemon-the-dark-side/4f23cd94-bdd9-4fd4-a92e-77ed3e1eba61/ Morton, M.C. (1999). Pokemon: The Dark Side in The Washington Post. Accessed: 2 Sep. 2024]</ref> where she, alongside other critiques of Pokémon in general, criticised Jynx's design on the grounds of sexism, criticising Jynx's "explicitly, albeit grossly caricatured, womanly features" in [[The Official Pokemon Handbook]], bringing up its sensational descriptions of its hips and {{m|Lovely Kiss}}.  
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}}.


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]]''.
====Racism====
 
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|Jynx's original design in the animated series|150px]]
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.
{{main|Pokémon controversy#Jynx|Pokémon controversy → Jynx}}
In January 2000, cultural critic {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}} condemned Jynx as a negative African-American stereotype in ''Black World Today'', comparing it to racist figures from ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', {{wp|Drag Queen}}s, and the similarly controversial {{wp|Mr. Popo}} from {{wp|Dragon Ball}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080925070143/http://hk.geocities.com/hksar_dolphin/cbw1.htm Weatherford, C.B. (2000). Politically Incorrect Pokemon in Black World Today. Accessed 2 Sep. 2024]</ref> This led to significant changes: Jynx's sprites in Western [[Pokémon games]] were altered, and episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' featuring its original design were cut from international airings. [[Game Freak]] revised Jynx's skin color to purple, which was reflected in later games and in the animated series, also correcting Jynx's arms from red to white. Recolored versions of affected episodes updating Jynx's depiction were also made available on Japanese Blu-ray and streaming services. Manga reissues have since used a dark gray hue for Jynx instead of black. Jynx's face was also recolored purple on manga covers and in [[Virtual Console]] game re-releases. Some fans speculate Jynx may instead have other origins, such as from {{wp|gyaru}} or {{wp|ganguro}} fashion, though some of these theories have faced criticism for their timeline and relevance.<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref>

{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Jynx}}
{{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.
Jynx's first documented design can be seen in ''Satoshi Tajiri: The Man Who Created Pokémon'', a biographical manga about [[Satoshi Tajiri]], dating Jynx's design to around 1992-1993.<ref>[https://helixchamber.com/2018/08/07/tajiri-manga/ A Closer Look at the Satoshi Tajiri Biographical Manga]</ref> Game Freak's headquarters was in close-proximity to Shibuya 109, which was a common gathering place for ギャル ''{{wp|gyaru}}'' street fashion in the 1980s-1990s; gyaru, being a sub-culture of primarily women who wear fake tan and bleached hair, is a likely inspiration for Jynx's design. This is played upon further with {{p|Smoochum}}, referencing the trend of gyaru-mamas raising their children in their image.
 
The original Jynx's black skin and prominent lips bore a startling resemblance to "blackface" or "darky" iconography. Jynx's depiction as Santa's helper in [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]] may reference the Dutch folklore character {{wp|Zwarte Piet}}. Jynx's 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.

Specifically, it may be inspired by the {{wp|Ride of the Valkyries}}, from the opera {{wp|Die Walküre}}, the second of four operas by {{wp|Richard Wagner}} based on Norse mythology. In this context, it is possible that the {{wp|Valkyries}}, mythical warrior-maidens who gathered the souls of those slain in battle, are another inspiration for Jynx.

Jynx (Japanese: ルージュラ Rougela) is a dual-type Ice/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Smoochum starting at level 30.

Biology

Jynx's foot

Jynx is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon that resembles a woman. It has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes, and long blonde hair. It wears a red gown with two gold circlets on the chest. While the Pokémon the Series episode Stage Fight! showed it to possess feet, the games show only blackness under the dress, and it lacks a footprint. Despite this, it is able to learn the kicking move Triple Axel. It has white arms and five-fingered purple hands. Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Originally, its face was colored black. Pokémon Stadium's fainting animation had it disappear leaving only its hair behind, implying that what appears to be dark-colored skin is actually just darkness.

Jynx has a language that sounds similar to human speech and includes several cry patterns. However, this language has yet to be deciphered. It prefers to communicate by using dance-like movements. There are some musicians who compose songs for Jynx to sing. These rhythmic movements often cause people to dance along with it. The Jynx in Alola are said to have wonderful precise movements. In certain parts of Galar, it has been feared and worshiped while being called the "Queen of Ice". The Jynx in Galar are said to have beautiful and delicate voices and a fanbase dedicated to them. Jynx are able to extend their lips to kiss its opponent. Jynx often is found in urban areas.

Jynx is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Lovely Kiss by leveling up.

Evolution

Jynx evolves from Smoochum.

I’ve heard that Jynx can make all sorts of things happen just by wishing for them. We did see some odd occurrences in the Shiver Snowfields involving Jynx, so there may be some truth to that claim.

Trivia

Controversies

Sexism

In September 1999, Mary C. Morton released an article in The Washington Post titled "Pokemon: The Dark Side"[1] where she, alongside other critiques of Pokémon in general, criticised Jynx's design on the grounds of sexism, criticising Jynx's "explicitly, albeit grossly caricatured, womanly features" in The Official Pokemon Handbook, bringing up its sensational descriptions of its hips and Lovely Kiss.

Racism

Jynx's original design in the animated series
Main article: Pokémon controversy → Jynx

In January 2000, cultural critic Carole Boston Weatherford condemned Jynx as a negative African-American stereotype in Black World Today, comparing it to racist figures from The Story of Little Black Sambo, Drag Queens, and the similarly controversial Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball.[2] This led to significant changes: Jynx's sprites in Western Pokémon games were altered, and episodes of Pokémon the Series featuring its original design were cut from international airings. Game Freak revised Jynx's skin color to purple, which was reflected in later games and in the animated series, also correcting Jynx's arms from red to white. Recolored versions of affected episodes updating Jynx's depiction were also made available on Japanese Blu-ray and streaming services. Manga reissues have since used a dark gray hue for Jynx instead of black. Jynx's face was also recolored purple on manga covers and in Virtual Console game re-releases. Some fans speculate Jynx may instead have other origins, such as from gyaru or ganguro fashion, though some of these theories have faced criticism for their timeline and relevance.[3]

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Jynx's first documented design can be seen in Satoshi Tajiri: The Man Who Created Pokémon, a biographical manga about Satoshi Tajiri, dating Jynx's design to around 1992-1993.[4] Game Freak's headquarters was in close-proximity to Shibuya 109, which was a common gathering place for ギャル gyaru street fashion in the 1980s-1990s; gyaru, being a sub-culture of primarily women who wear fake tan and bleached hair, is a likely inspiration for Jynx's design. This is played upon further with Smoochum, referencing the trend of gyaru-mamas raising their children in their image.

The original Jynx's black skin and prominent lips bore a startling resemblance to "blackface" or "darky" iconography. Jynx's depiction as Santa's helper in Holiday Hi-Jynx may reference the Dutch folklore character Zwarte Piet. Jynx's revised coloring may be based on purple discoloration of the skin, a common symptom of frostbite. This fits with Jynx's Ice type and how it is found in very cold places.

Jynx may be based on a Nordic or Viking woman (possibly Hel, goddess of the underworld). Jynx also has traits of a female opera singer, especially the iconic cartoon depiction of the fat lady; Pokémon Snap and its Generation III sprites depict it singing, especially the Pokémon Emerald sprite that animates it singing a high note. Specifically, it may be inspired by the Ride of the Valkyries, from the opera Die Walküre, the second of four operas by Richard Wagner based on Norse mythology. In this context, it is possible that the Valkyries, mythical warrior-maidens who gathered the souls of those slain in battle, are another inspiration for Jynx.

Jynx may also have origins in the Japanese snow spirits known as Yuki-onna, who lack feet, akin to Jynx's feet being covered by its dress. It may also be based on Yama-uba (also called Yamanba), a yōkai that is described as always wearing a tattered kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, and living on cold mountaintops.

Name origin

Jynx may be a corruption of jinx, a curse or hex of bad luck.

Rougela may be derived from rouge, a type of makeup and also the French word for red, and also from the French verb geler (to freeze, to be freezing cold).
