Gold	It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.
Silver	Its extremely flexible and elastic body makes it bounce continuously--anytime, anywhere.
Crystal	Instead of walking with its short legs, it moves around by bouncing on its soft, tender body.
Ruby	IGGLYBUFF’s vocal chords 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.
Sapphire	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.
FireRed	Its extremely flexible and elastic body makes it bounce continuously--anytime, anywhere.
LeafGreen	It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.
Emerald	Its soft and pliable body is very bouncy. When it sings continuously with all its might, its body steadily turns a deepening pink color.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	It has a soft and bouncy body. Once it starts bouncing, it becomes impossible to stop.
HeartGold	It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.

Y	It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.
Omega Ruby	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.
Alpha Sapphire	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.
Sun	It likes to sing but is not yet good at it. With praise and encouragement, it will get better little by little.
Moon	It moves by bouncing along. As it moves a lot, it sweats, and its body gives off a sweet aroma.
Ultra Sun	It’s always practicing its singing because it wants to improve. Even when it’s asleep, it keeps singing in its dreams!
Ultra Moon	Left to its own devices, it will constantly practice singing. You should make it take a break so it doesn’t hurt its throat.
Sword	Igglybuff loves to sing. Its marshmallow-like body gives off a faint sweet smell.
Shield	Taking advantage of the softness of its body, Igglybuff moves as if bouncing. Its body turns a deep pink when its temperature rises.
