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.

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.
