With hundreds of Pokemon out there, there are a wide variety of colors used in each new design. Many Pokemon colors are coded with their elemental type: red or orange for Fire-types, green for Grass-types, blue for Water-types, yellow for Electric-types—and the list goes on.

Pink is one of the more uncommon colors found among Pokemon. Many pink Pokemon are either Psychic-types or Fairy-types and usually have a sweet, feminine design. From icons like Jigglypuff to Mythical Pokemon like Mesprit, pink-colored Pokemon tend to have an adorable and magical look, emphasizing their mystical powers.
10 Jigglypuff
Perhaps the most well-known pink Pokemon, Jigglypuff has been part of the lineup since the very first Pokemon games and is one of the main Pokemon to appear in the Super Smash Bros. roster. Jigglypuff is adorable, with big eyes, tiny hands and feet, and a round body. Though Jigglypuff started out as a mere Normal-type, it has since become a dual Fairy-type.
Jigglypuff’s inherent cuteness hides a dangerous secret about the Pokemon: its beautiful music can’t be trusted by its foes. This Pokemon is known for disarming enemies and putting them to sleep through its singing.
9 Mew
Another iconic Generation 1 pink Pokemon is Mew. This rare Pokemon is a Psychic-type and one of the most powerful Pokemon out there. Its lore hints that it is the first of all Pokemon, as it can learn practically every single move.

Mew’s design is fairly simple: it is small, with a long tail and a cat-like appearance. It is pale pink in color, sometimes appearing nearly white in certain sprites. Like other pink-colored Pokemon, Mew has a mystical, cute appearance, which definitely fits with its status as a Mythical Pokemon.
8 Lickitung
Lickitung is one of the more unusual Pokemon on this list, as, unlike most pink Pokemon, it isn’t all that cute in appearance. Its design is weird rather than whimsical. It is also a Normal-type Pokemon, rather than a Fairy or Psychic-type.
Lickitung has an amphibious design, and its pink color is not the most flattering shade. Yet Lickitung’s coloring makes sense, as the Pokemon’s concept is centered around its oversized pink tongue. Even its long, floppy tail has a tongue-like shape to it.
7 Blissey
The final evolution of Happiny and Chansey, Blissey is another pink-colored Normal-type Pokemon. This designation is somewhat surprising, as Blissey’s feminine design and happy appearance make it seem more like a Fairy-type. Regardless, pink is certainly Blissey’s color, as it reflects the Pokemon’s cheerful nature and kind heart.

Blissey is the Happiness Pokemon and a strong healer. It is an empathic Pokemon, able to sense the feelings of others, and its entire goal is to care for those who are sad or sick.
6 Mesprit
Mesprit is one of the few pink Legendary Pokemon, and it first appears in Generation 4 as one of the Sinnoh Region’s three lake guardians. It is a Psychic-type, and though it is mostly gray-blue in color, the pink accents on its head make it stand out from its other guardians.
Mesprit is known as the Emotion Pokemon, an interesting similarity to another pink Pokemon, Blissey, who thrives on happiness. It seems that Mesprit’s mix of blue and pink coloring symbolizes its lore as the bringer of both sadness and joy to humans.
5 Enamorus
While the Legendary Forces of Nature group of Pokemon has been around for several generations, Legends: Arceus introduced a new member to the team: Enamorus. The Love-Hate Pokemon is a dual Fairy- and Flying-type.
While Enamorus fits into the theme of feminine designs for pink-colored Pokemon, its cuteness is much more subtle. In fact, Enamorus gives off a dangerous vibe, suggesting that this Pokemon is not one you want to cross. It’s nice to see a pink Pokemon that pulls off an intimidating look while maintaining the signature elegance of a Fairy-type.
4 Slowking
Slowking is one of the most intriguing Pokemon with some of the funniest lore of the whole series. It is a dual Water- and Psychic-type and isn’t too different from its prior evolutionary form, Slowpoke. The big difference: the Shellder clamped to its head like a crown.

Slowking is one of the most intelligent Pokemon, but how it gained its wisdom and genius is highly amusing. Apparently, it is the Shellder biting its head that draws out Slowking’s brilliance. This backstory makes Slowking one of the most creative pink Pokemon out there.
3 Spritzee
One of the most adorable Pokemon is the Fairy-type Spritzee. This Pokemon entered the series in Generation 6. Known as the Perfume Pokemon, it not only looks sweet, but it also smells wonderful. Some trainers may choose to forgo traditional perfumes and simply ask Spritzee for assistance.
Like many other pink Fairy-type Pokemon, Spritzee has a delicate design. It is tiny and round, with large eyes and beak, and resembles a hummingbird or small fairy. The darker pink color adds to Spritzee’s magical aura as well.
2 Impidimp
Impidimp breaks the mold of pink Pokemon designs, as it is more fearsome than adorable. A unique mix of Dark- and Fairy-type, Impidimp’s color scheme—bright pink and dark purple—perfectly reflect the opposing dual types. As Impidimp evolves into Morgrem and on to Grimmsnarl, it loses the pink color, which is a shame considering the uniqueness of the Pokemon.
Impidimp loves playing pranks and causing trouble for people. This is in contrast to many other pink Pokemon, who tend to value helpfulness and kindness.
1 Stufful
Stufful proves you can’t judge a book by its cover. This dual Normal- and Fighting-type resembles the average stuffed animal: adorable, soft, and cuddly. However, the Flailing Pokemon shouldn’t be underestimated, as it is a strong fighter. Hug this Pokemon at your own risk!
Stufful’s pink stripes are more apparent than in its evolved form, Bewear, but both are unique among other Pokemon of the same color. Though Stufful is not a Fairy- or Psychic-type as you might expect, it can learn a select few moves from those types.
