Jigglypuff is a balloon Pokémon from the first generation Pokémon games that is known for its singing voice. Its evolved form is Wigglytuff. Jigglypuff was initially the first stage in its evolutionary line, until Igglybuff was introduced as Jigglypuff's pre-evolved form in the second generation games. Jigglypuff was also originally purely a Normal-type Pokémon, until the sixth generation introduced the Fairy type, and Jigglypuff was reclassified as a Normal/Fairy-type Pokémon.

Information

Jigglypuff is a Balloon Pokémon which evolves from Igglybuff once it levels up once it reaches maximum happiness. Its body is round and pink with short, stubby arms and legs. The body also has an elastic property that allows it to suck in air to appear larger than it really is. They also have large eyes that they use to memorize their foes, often in preparation for a song.

Jigglypuff is best known for its singing ability. The sound of its voice is soothing and often puts other to sleep. Its vocal chords can freely adjust the wavelength of its voice so that it can sing at precisely the right wavelength to affect all of its opponents. It never pauses to breathe when it sings, which can cause it to endanger its life whenever it faces enemies that do not fall asleep easily. Jigglypuff can perform longer when their bodies are inflated.

Other Appearances

Video Games

• In Super Mario Maker, Jigglypuff could appear as one of the Mystery Mushroom costumes that Mario could transform into. It could be unlocked by scanning a Jigglypuff amiibo or by completing a 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or harder.

Super Smash Bros.

Jigglypuff appears as an playable fighter in every game of the Super Smash Bros. series, appearing in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Its moveset is based on attacks from the games, including a Rest attack where it briefly falls asleep. Though this leaves it defenseless, Jigglypuff also is known to exert a powerful force when falling asleep which hits those close to it. Additionally, Jigglypuff can perform many small jumps in the air akin to floating, similar to Kirby's ability. In every game except for the Wii U version of the fourth installment, Jigglypuff has been an unlockable character.

Jigglypuff in Brawl.

In Super Smash Bros., Jigglypuff is unlocked by completing 1-Player game on any difficulty level. In Melee, Jigglypuff is unlocked by playing 50 Vs. Mode matches or by completing either Classic or Adventure Mode at any difficulty level. Jigglypuff is unlocked by playing 350 brawl matches, beating the first twenty events after completing "The Subspace Emissary" or by getting Jigglypuff to join the party in "The Subspace Emissary". In the 3DS Smash, Jigglypuff is unlocked by collecting 30 different equipment items or by playing 120 different Vs. Matches. In Ultimate, Jigglypuff can be unlocked through the game's variable-based system for unlocking characters or by awakening it in Adventure Mode (where it could be found by a town area in the Light Realm).

In Ultimate, Jigglypuff's Classic Mode route is All Original, All 64, and it is themed after the original Super Smash Bros. It consists of fighting only characters from the original game and mostly on stages from that game. Rather then one of the game's boss characters, the final boss of Jigglypuff's route is a giant Donkey Kong, in reference to a battle from the original game.

Trophies/Stickers/Spirits

Throughout the series, Jigglypuff has also been represented by three unlockable trophies in Melee, two trophies (one being of its Final Smash) and a sticker in Brawl, two trophies (plus a trophy for its Final Smash in the Wii U version) in the 3DS/Wii U game and a Fighter Spirit in Ultimate.

Brawl: The Subspace Emissary

Jigglypuff is not part of the main storyline of the Adventure Mode of Brawl, "The Subspace Emissary", and it can only be found through a new door that appears in The Swamp after "The Subspace Emissary" has been beaten. The door takes the player to the Pokémon Stadium 2 level, where Jigglypuff performs a song and then engages the player in battle. Beating Jigglypuff will unlock it for play in "The Subspace Emissary" and the rest of the game if it had not been unlocked already.

In Other Media

• Jigglypuff makes various appearances throughout the first seasons of the Pokémon anime. The anime Jigglypuff is an aspiring singer, but everyone it sings to falls asleep, which enrages Jigglypuff and causes it to scribble graffiti on everyone's faces with magic marker. After the Johto series, made an appearance in one Advanced Generation episode and then disappeared for years until it resurfaced at the Kalos Islands during the series based on the seventh generation games. It returned in the episodes that also featured the returns of Brock and Misty, and in a later reversal it suffered a role reversal when Samson Oak's Komala put it to sleep and scribbled on its face. Other Jigglypuff have sometimes appeared, such as one that was one of Marina's Pokémon.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Green has a Jigglypuff that was her first Pokémon as a child and is her steadfast companion. It particularly has the ability to swell up to large sizes, to the point where Green could use it for a makeshift hot-air balloon. She eventually evolved it into a Wigglytuff towards the end of the FireRed/LeafGreen arc.

Trivia

• Jigglypuff shares its title of balloon Pokémon with Qwilfish and Drifloon.
• Their vocal range is said to exceed 12 octaves, and the songs they sing are also said to differ based upon their region, with some Jigglypuff songs apparently sounding more like shouting.
• Apparently, some people record Jigglypuff's lullabies on CDs and sell them at department stores, where they are kept near the bedding area.
