Igglybuff in the anime.

Igglybuff was first seen as one of the Pokémon in the Pichu Brothers' Possé in Pikachu and Pichu.

Igglybuff twins appeared in Same Old Song & Dance. These Igglybuff were owned by a girl named Brittany and were practicing for a concert. Jigglypuff was jealous towards the Igglybuff twins as they were stealing its audience.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Igglybuff only appears as a random trophy.

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.
