Wigglytuff (Japanese: プクリン Pukurin) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Jigglypuff when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is Igglybuff's final form.

Biology

Physiology

Wigglytuff resembles a pink blob with a fluffy tuft of fur on its head and long rabbit-like ears and a white belly. It has large blue eyes and stubby arms and legs like its pre-evolution, Jigglypuff.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Wigglytuff are capable of inflating themselves to big sizes in order to scare off enemies. Wigglytuff can also sing soothing lullabies to make anyone fall asleep, but its reputation for doing so isn't as famous as its basic form, Jigglypuff. Like Clefable and its pre-evolutions, Wigglytuff is capable of wielding various elemental attacks.

Behavior

Despite its cute demeanor, Wigglytuff is sometimes known for being very aggressive and slapping anyone that gets on its nerves.

Habitat

File:Grassland.gif

Grassland Pokémon

Wigglyfuff can be found in vivid green plains and grassy fields. It shares its range with Jigglypuff.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Apparently, Wigglytuff love eating Perfect Apples, as shown in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. However, this could be just the specific Wigglytuff in the game and not any other Wigglytuff.

Major appearances

In Lights, Camera, Quacktion!, Cleavon Schpielbunk was going to have a Wigglytuff have the starring role in his movie, "Pokémon in Love", alongside Misty's Psyduck.

Harley used a Wigglytuff in the Kanto Grand Festival. Harley's Wigglytuff wears a rather sinister expression, possibly reflecting its trainer.

Guildmaster Wigglytuff makes an appearance in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness special. He assigns a mission to save Shinx's brother to Team PokéPals. Wigglytuff also happens to be able to fall asleep with his eyes open.

Minor appearances

In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Wigglytuff owned by Neesha was one of the Pokémon was captured and cloned by Mewtwo. The Wigglytuff clone was seen again in Mewtwo Returns.

A Wigglytuff is used in the Fallarbor Contest.

A Wigglytuff is one of the many recurring characters in the manga Magical Pokémon Journey. She lives in a mansion with her younger sister, Jigglypuff, and her butler, Squirtle. In Even an Arbok Falls in Love!, Arbok confesses his love to her and she becomes his girlfriend.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Game data

NPC appearances

• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Wigglytuff sells Friend Areas in Pokémon Square.
• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky: Wigglytuff is the head of the main guild in Treasure Town. His personality tends to be erratic, but he cares about all his friends in the guild, especially his close partner Chatot. He also has a love (some would say obsession) of Perfect Apples, and is basically all he eats. He can often be seen bouncing one off his head during dinner. He is described as peculiar and weird in the game, although he is exceptionally strong, defeating the whole of Team Skull and Kabutops and the Omastar Brothers, as well as numerous others, with ease. Chatot warns not to annoy or disrespect Wigglytuff, as he is liable to explode with anger.

Trivia

• Wigglytuff shares the same species name with Jigglypuff, Igglybuff, Qwilfish, and Drifloon. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
• In its earlier appearances, Wigglytuff's white stomach did not always extend above its mouth; however, it always does this in modern appearences.

Origin

Wigglytuff is probably a combination between a rabbit, a balloon and a plush doll.

Name origin

Wigglytuff's name is a combination of wiggly and tuff — wiggly refers to its wobbly shape, and tuff may refer to either its toughness or the tuft of hair on its head (Pokémon names can only be ten characters in length, and Wigglytough would be eleven). Its Japanese name may be from ぷりぷり puripuri (in a huff) and くりくり kurikuri (big and round). It may also be a corruption of プリン purin, pudding. It may also be a combination of 風船 fūsen, balloon, and 膨れる fukureru, to expand or inflate.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Knuddeluff From knuddeln and fluff. French Grodoudou From gros and doudou, a word for a teddy or a doll that babies tend to use for comfort. Korean 푸크린 Pukeurin Chinese (Mandarin) 胖可丁 Pàngkēdīng Possibly a corrupted transliteration of its Japanese name. Also from 胖 pàng and 布丁 bùdīng. Chinese (Cantonese) 肥波球 Fèihbōkàuh 波球 is from Jigglypuff's Cantonese name (波波球), while 肥 fèi means "fat".
