Jynx (Japanese: ルージュラ Ruujura) is an Ice/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Jynx is a humanoid Pokémon. She strongly resembles a blonde-haired woman with a dark complexion in a flowing, deep-red dress, the bottom of which flows around her, while the top of which has a yellow chest plate with two red circular objects that most closely resemble female breasts, as well as luscious lips. The unbelievably rare, Shiny version is a Jynx with a much brighter shade of purple skin, vermilion dress color, and near white blonde hair. Jynx originally had black skin. This was dropped due to the unfortunate resemblance to blackface.

Natural abilities

Jynx can have the ability Oblivious or the ability Forewarn. Oblivious grants Jynx immunity to infatuation. Forewarn allows Jynx to identify the opponent's move with the highest attack power.

Evolution

Jynx is the evolved form of Smoochum as of level 30.

Appearances

Anime

Jynx appeared early in the anime, but because of her black skin, episodes where she made small cameos had them cut out in the dub until the Advanced Generation series, when she had her purple skin.

Trivia

• Jynx originally appeared as having black skin, but Pokémon was forced to change her skin color to purple, as many players complained that she appeared to be a "racist" Pokémon apparently looking like a black-face (black-face is a racist portrayal of Black-Americans involving painting the face black and making the lips appear large and pink). She has also received criticism for apparently looking like an overweight drag queen (a male that dresses as a female for the purpose of entertainment).
• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Jynx and her pre-evolution, Smoochum.
• Jynx has the longest cry of any Pokémon.
