What it does
The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.
If this Baby Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and your opponent announces an attack, your opponent flips a coin (before doing anything else). If tails, your opponent's turn ends.
Its extremely flexible and elastic body makes it bounce continuously—anytime, anywhere.

Where it came from
Igglybuff (36/53) was released in 2001 as part of the Wizards of the Coast Black Star Promos set, a collection of cards distributed primarily through organized play events, retail promotions, and the Pokémon League. At the time, the Pokémon Trading Card Game was expanding rapidly to include creatures from the Johto region, and this card served as a way to introduce the then-new Baby Pokémon mechanic, which focused on defensive gameplay through coin flips.
The card features artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi, a prolific contributor to the early Pokémon TCG who was known for his distinct, clean digital illustration style. His design for this promo emphasizes Igglybuff’s round, whimsical nature, capturing the character’s playful aesthetic during the height of the second generation’s popularity. As a promotional release, it was highly accessible to younger players, establishing it as a memorable piece of the Wizards-era legacy.
