CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Igglybuff loves singing and has a soft body reminiscent of marshmallow. A faint sweet smell accompanies the image of this small, squishy Pokémon. This softness also helps it travel: it moves by bouncing rather than always keeping its feet on the ground. When its body temperature rises, its color becomes dark pink. Its appearance therefore changes with the warmth of its own body.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Igglybuff's pink color is not described as perfectly constant. Shield specifies that it becomes darker when its body temperature rises. Sword adds another sensory feature: its marshmallow-like body gives off a slightly sweet smell.

Description from the source

It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.

Pokemon Power

Once during your turn (before you attack), choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has a Pokémon Power. That power stops working until the end of this turn. This effect ends if that Pokémon leaves the Bench. (Pokémon Power)
