In other games

Super Smash Bros. series

Jigglypuff uses Pound as its neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. From Super Smash Bros. Melee onwards, Pound is its side special move, with Rollout becoming its neutral special move. It is mainly used as an alternate recovery move, since its up special move, Sing, does not help Jigglypuff recover. The move is also useful for breaking shields because of its extra shield damage.
