Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン Purin) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

Jigglypuff is notable for its use of the move Sing, the sound of which can put most any trainer or Pokémon to sleep. This has frequently been used as a joke line in both the anime and games, especially in Pokémon Yellow, in the Pewter City Pokémon Center.

Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff with the use of the Moon Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Jigglypuff appear as round pink balls. They have small arms and legs. At the top of a Jigglypuff's head is a small tuft of hair and two ears.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Jigglypuff is most known for Singing soothing lullabies that can make almost anything asleep. Like Clefairy, Jigglypuff is also capable of learning various elemental attacks.

Habitat

Jigglypuff can sometimes be found inside of caves, but are more often found in vivid green plains and grassy fields.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

From The Song of Jigglypuff through the end of the Johto series, a wild Jigglypuff followed Ash Ketchum's group, intent on performing its trademark song without causing its audience to fall asleep. It rarely if ever succeeded. Anything that fell asleep after hearing the song, that Jigglypuff would scribble all over the sleepers' faces. After Johto, Jigglypuff suddenly stopped appearing, but it did feature in one early Advanced Generation episode. This Jigglypuff was voiced by かないみか Mika Kanai in the Japanese version.

Marina also has a Jigglypuff. She used it to battle against Jimmy's Beedrill.

A green-eyed Jigglypuff was featured in Rough, Tough Jigglypuff, who was voiced by 池田千草 Chigusa Ikeda. Mitch wanted to capture this Balloon Pokémon for her daughter's birthday.

In the manga

Blue of Pokémon Special has a Jigglypuff; notably it is the only Pokémon on her team without a nickname despite being the first Pokémon she ever got. The reason for this is that during her captivity under Pryce, she was reprimanded for doing so ("Pokémon don't need nicknames!"). Jigglypuff is capable of swelling up to several times its size, allowing Blue to float with it like a hot-air balloon as well as block narrow passageways -- a tactic instrumental in helping Silver and her escape the Mask of Ice.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Jigglypuff is a playable character. It is unlocked by completing Classic or Adventure Mode once with any character and so is usually the first character to be unlocked. Jigglypuff's most powerful attack is Rest (Down+B) which will send an opponent flying, possibly even KOing them from 0% damage.

Trophy information

Classic Mode

This Balloon Pokémon invites its opponents in close with its big, round eyes and then puts them to sleep with a soothing lullaby. It puffs itself up when angry, and while it may look adorable, it's not to be trifled with; it knows several powerful techniques. Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff after exposure to a Moon Stone.

Adventure Mode

Jigglypuff's normal attacks are weak, and because of its light weight it's easily sent flying. However, with its incredible midair agility, it seems to dance when airborne. Rollout is a powerful speed attack, but players must be careful not to fly off the edge. Pound does serious damage, and it can also help as a recovery move.

All-Star Mode

Jigglypuff can put its enemies to sleep if they are in range of its Sing attack, although the attack does not work on airborne foes. Rest puts Jigglypuff into a deep sleep, but at the instant it drops off, an intense energy force radiates out of the exact center of its body. If this force comes in contact with an enemy, look out! Rest is Jigglypuff's wild card.

Trivia

Origin

Name origin

Jigglypuff's name is a combination of jiggly and puff, referring to its wobbly shape and ability to inflate itself. Many people have been unable to decipher its Japanese name, but concede that it may simply be taken from the Japanese word for pudding, purin.

In other languages

• German: Pummeluff
• French: Rondoudou - Rond means round/chubby, doudou is a word for a teddy or a doll that babies tend to use for comfort & sleep with at night.
• Korean: 푸린 Purin
• Chinese: 胖丁 (Pang Ding) - Possibly a corrupted transliteration of its Japanese name, Purin. The character 胖 means fat, chubby.
• Chinese 波波球 (Po Po Qiu) - Corruption of its Japanese name, Purin. The last character 球 means ball, sphere.
