Trivia
- In Pokémon Yellow, there is a trainer in the Pewter City Pokémon Center whose Jigglypuff puts the protagonist's Pikachu to sleep after singing.
Other appearances
Jigglypuff uses Sing as its up B attack in the Super Smash Bros. series. The move puts all ground-bound users near Jigglypuff to sleep; it does not affect players in the air. Because of its high amount of attack lag, its poor range, and the sleep's low duration, Sing is considered one of the worst moves in the series.
