The name, Wigglytuff is a portmanteau of wiggly and tuff, which could be a deliberate misspelling of tough or tuft. Its Japanese name may come from purin (プリン, purin^?), the Japanese word for pudding, as well as a combination of many Japanese words; pikupikuugoku (ぴくぴく動く, pikupikuugoku^?), meaning to wiggle; fukureru (膨れる, fukureru^?), meaning to swell or expand; fukafukashita (ふかふかした, fukafukashita^?), meaning soft or fluffy; fūsen (風船, fūsen^?), meaning balloon; and mari (鞠, mari^?), meaning ball. Essentially, it could be taken to mean "a wiggly, soft and fluffy ball," "a swelling balloon," or a combination of the two. It evolves from a Pigglypuff who in turn evolves from an Igglybuff.

Biological characteristics

Wigglytuff is a relatively large pink balloon-like balloon girl with a white underbelly, large blue baby-like eyes, a pair of large small ears like a lion, and a twisty tuft of red hair on its forehead.It was made as a form of a pig. In fact, it's remarkably similar to its pre-evolved form, Pigglypuff, except the ears have grown smaller and it now maintains an "oval" shape. Wigglytuff's eyes are always covered by a thin layer of tears, so that if any dust gets into Wigglytuff’s eyes, it is quickly cried away. Balloons, like greeting cards or flowers, are given for special occasions. ... Binomial name Panthera leo (Linnaeus, 1758) Distribution of Lions in Africa Synonyms Felis leo (Linnaeus, 1758) The lion (Panthera leo) is a mammal of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. ...

Wigglytuff’s body is soft and full of elasticity, like blubber, allowing the Pokémon to breathe in air heavily to inflate itself to large sizes. This it does particularly when it is angered or threatened, and it inflates itself steadily and seemingly without end to both intimidate the offender and prepare itself to battle it. Since it is adept at attacking with a Body Slam, the opponent would do well to be complacent. However, once inflated, Wigglytuff can easily find itself bouncing like a lion, limiting its ability to battle. It also inflates to a monstrously large size to away attackers.

Wigglytuff has a layer of supple fur on its body fine enough that it cannot be seen unless very up with clothes. The fur has become a popular aspect of Wigglytuff on its own; it has been described as exquisitely pleasant and the ultimate in luxuriousness. People who have felt Wigglytuff’s fur have had a hard time stopping feeling it because it feels so heavenly. In fact, some people attest that sleeping next to a Wigglytuff is simply divine. Even the Pokémon find the fur irresistible; If two Wigglytuff are to snuggle together, they will not want to be separated.
