They appear to have a hair like curl on their head.

Special abilities
Jigglypuff is most known for singing soothing lullabies that can make almost anything sleep. Like Clefairy, Jigglypuff is also capable of learning various elemental attacks. They can also float in the air and easily blown by the wind.
Jigglypuff are mostly found in lush green plains and grassy meadows, but they sometimes do appear in caves. Jigglypuff can also be found in some cities and towns. It's indigenous to every region except Orre.
From The Song of Jigglypuff through the end of the Johto series, a wildJigglypuff followed Ash Ketchum's group, intent on performing its trademark song without causing its audience to fall asleep. It rarely, if ever, succeeded. Jigglypuff would scribble all over the faces of anyone who fell asleep after hearing the song. After Johto, Jigglypuff started to only appear very rarely. It reappeared being featured in one early Advanced Generation episode.
Jigglypuff, the Balloon Pokémon. When Jigglypuff's big eyes begin to quiver, everyone becomes sleepy as it sings a lullaby.

In Clefairy in Space, a girl named Mimi owns a Jigglypuff, considering it to be her best friend. Her Jigglypuff helps defend a herd of wild Clefairy from Jessie and James of Team Rocket.
A Jigglypuff is one of the main characters from the Magical Pokémon Journey manga. She is a rich, spoiled Pokémon who lives in a mansion with her sister, Wigglytuff, and a butler, Squirtle. She loves to cook, despite the fact that she is a bad chef and her cooking often causes others to become ill.
Green of Pokémon Adventures has a Jigglypuff; notably it is the only Pokémon on her team without a nickname despite being the first Pokémon she ever got (however, it does have one in the Japanese version). The reason for this is that during her captivity under the Masked Man, she was reprimanded for doing so ("Pokémon don't need nicknames!"). Jigglypuff is capable of swelling up to several times its size, allowing Green 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 Masked Man. It evolved in PS288 into a Wigglytuff alongside two of Green's other Pokémon with the power of her Moon Stones.
Jigglypuff is a playable character in all three Super Smash Bros. games. This Jigglypuff's alternate costumes are usually associated with feminine headwear, and therefore most Smash fans refer to the Jigglypuff in the series as a female. Jigglypuff's Rest attack does damage in all three games of the series, even though in the Pokémon games Rest does no damage, but instead heals the user.
Jigglypuff is a playable character. It is unlocked by completing 1-Player Mode once with any character. Jigglypuff's attacks in this game are Sing, Pound, and Rest. At times, Rest can KO an opponent from 0% damage.
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. It keeps all its attacks from the original game, although Sing keeps opponents asleep for less time, and Pound's button combo was changed. Jigglypuff also gained the attack Rollout, which varies in power (and ease of control) the longer the B button is held down.
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.
Jigglypuff is a playable character that must be unlocked once again, yet plays no major role in the Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. Jigglypuff's Final Smash, Puff Up, makes Jigglypuff grow to a tremendous size, eclipsing the entire battlefield. In this state, Jigglypuff is invulnerable, but also immobile. Once Jigglypuff has grown to its full size, it shouts and if anyone is making contact with Jigglypuff when this happens, they are inflicted with damage are knocked back considerably.
Jigglypuff is one of three characters that can only be encountered after completing the story, the others being Wolf and Toon Link. It can be found behind a secret door in the second half of "The Swamp" stage. After that, Jigglypuff must be battled in the Pokémon Stadium 2 stage. Once Jigglypuff is defeated, it will join the team and will be unlocked if not yet obtained.
Solid Snake:"Jigglypuff? That some kind of marshmallow?"
Roy Campbell:"Jigglypuff is a balloon-shaped Pokémon. It may be light and puffy and full of air, but its Sleep ability is devastating."
Solid Snake:"Sleep...? What's so devastating about it going to sleep?"
Roy Campbell:"The instant it falls asleep, there's a huge buildup of energy in its center of gravity. If it hits you, it's lights out for sure."
Solid Snake:"So it puts a lot of energy into sleeping? Sounds pretty irresponsible if you ask me."
Roy Campbell:"Takes all kinds, Snake. Especially here in 'Brawl.'"
Trophy information
Classic Mode
A Balloon Pokémon. It invites opponents in close with its big, round eyes, then puts them to sleep with a calming song. The secret to the song's unfailing efficacy is Jigglypuff's ability to sing on the wavelength that will make its opponent the sleepiest. It also uses Attract to infatuate opponents who touch it. It uses a Moon Stone to evolve into Wigglytuff.
All-Star Mode
Jigglypuff's Final Smash. It wills its body to get bigger and bigger and bigger. It can't move, and it can't attack--all it can do is get bigger while everyone else looks on. However, it's invulnerable, and it overpowers all attacks to gradually push its opponents off the screen. It's a very simple technique, but how it's used determines its effectiveness.
Game data
Pokédex entries
This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Jigglypuff's vocal chords can freely adjust the wavelength of its voice. This Pokémon uses this ability to sing at precisely the right wavelength to make its foes most drowsy.
When this Pokémon sings, it never pauses to breathe. If it is in a battle against an opponent that does not easily fall asleep, Jigglypuff cannot breathe, endangering its life.
The Jigglypuff seen in the Smash Bros. series and other 3D games, Rough, Tough Jigglypuff and other anime episodes, and the official promotional pictures have green eyes and tea rose pink fur, more closely resembling the shiny version of Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff's evolutionary family shares the same species name with Qwilfish and Drifloon. They are all known as Balloon Pokémon.
Jigglypuff's Crystal still sprite is different from that of Gold and Silver, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in Generation II.
In the Super Smash Bros. series, Jigglypuff is the only character to keep its original voice track through all three games.
Origin
It appears to be based on a balloon and a pink puff. Because of its color, shape, as well as its ability to puff up and float, Jigglypuff may have also been based on Kirby.
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. It may also be a combination of 風船 fūsen, balloon, and 膨れる fukureru, to expand or inflate.
From rond and doudou, a word for a teddy or a doll that babies tend to use for comfort. Also twice contains doux which means "soft" (quite accurately what Jigglypuff would feel like), and maybe roudoudou, which is a kind of French confectionery made of fruit-flavored cooked sugar in a scallop shell, as well as an affectionate child's nickname.
