Jumpluff (Pokémon)

|}
Jumpluff (Japanese: ワタッコ Watacco) is a dual-type introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from starting at level 27. It is the final form of .
==Biology==
Jumpluff is a round, blue with red, pupilless, beady eyes, two small, round feet, and a tail. Three cotton puffs, almost as large as the body itself, extend off it: one on each arm, and one on top of its head. These puffs produce cotton spores that Jumpluff can use to float in the air, and it can control its flight even in a hurricane. Three to four leaves grow at the base of the top puff.
Jumpluff drifts on seasonal winds and can use its spores to masterfully maneuver itself around the globe. It will spread cotton spores as it floats around to create offspring; inhaling these spores may cause coughs and itchiness. It descends if it encounters cold air currents while it is floating. Though it spends a good amount of time in the air, it is commonly sighted above open . Once Jumpluff runs out of its cotton spores, its journey — and its life — reaches its end.
