Jigglypuff debuted in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. From this episode through the end of the [[original series]], it followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, 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, being featured in one early {{series|Advanced Generation}} [[AG039|episode]]. After a long absence, Jigglypuff reappeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where it was seen sleeping on top of the plane that Ash and {{ashcl}} were flying on back to [[Alola]], and has since made semi-regular appearances.

Jigglypuff is a round, pink ball with pointed ears and large, blue eyes. It has small, stubby arms and somewhat long feet. It has a curled tuft of fur on the top of its head. It is filled with air, as seen in Pokémon Stadium, when a defeated Jigglypuff deflates until it is flat. It is able to float by drawing extra air into its body, as demonstrated in Super Smash Bros.
Jigglypuff uses its eyes to mesmerize opponents. Once it achieves this, it will inflate its lungs and begin to sing a soothing lullaby. If the opponent resists falling asleep, Jigglypuff will endanger its own life by continuing to sing until it runs out of air. It is able to adjust the wavelength of its voice to match the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep. This helps ensure drowsiness in its opponents. Jigglypuff can mostly be found in lush green plains and grassy meadows.

Five Jigglypuff appeared in Deceiving Appearances!, where they were among the Pokémon seen at Aether Paradise. They reappeared alongside a sixth in SM096, where they encountered Jessie.

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 has a Jigglypuff nicknamed Jiggly which first appeared in Tauros the Tyrant. She is her starter Pokémon and is capable of swelling up to several times her size, allowing Green to float with her like a hot-air balloon. In the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, she evolved into a Wigglytuff.
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.

Jigglypuff is typically depicted in the Smash Bros. series and Ken Sugimori's art with green eyes and tea rose pink fur, more closely resembling its Shiny form. It also appeared with green eyes in Rough, Tough Jigglypuff and The Legend of Thunder!.
It appears to be based on a balloon and a pink puff.
