Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン Purin) is a wild Pokémon which appears multiple times in the Pokémon Anime. It is voiced by かないみか Mika Kanai in Japanese, and Rachael Lillis in English.

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in EP045, where it was first seen standing on a stump. Misty tried to capture it with her Staryu, but decided otherwise when she learned that the Jigglypuff couldn't use Sing. After a first attempt by Jessie, James, and Meowth to capture Jigglypuff, they attempted to restore its voice, succeeding when Brock gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. It performed Sing for them, putting everyone within hearing range to sleep. This upset Jigglypuff, and it went into Ash's backpack and pulled out a marker, which it used to draw on the faces of everyone who fell asleep. When Ash and his friends awoke again, Jigglypuff was still unhappy, so they attempted to find someone who could listen to its song without falling asleep. This eventually resulted in having Jigglypuff perform for all the people in Neon Town, putting the whole town to sleep. It then ran around Neon Town to draw on everyone's faces.

It appeared in the next episode, and many other episodes to come, following Ash and always looking for opportunities to Sing on a stage or for a crowd. It seems to have a desire to become a Pokémon diva of some sort, but currently its primary goal is to find someone who can listen to its song the whole way through. It came close to achieving this goal in AG039 when it met a Whismur who could block the effects of the song with Soundproof, though the friendship between the two was short lived because the Whismur ended up passing out from exhaustion, making Jigglypuff think it had fallen asleep from Sing.

Whenever someone falls asleep because of Jigglypuff's song, it is guaranteed they will have doodles drawn on their face with Jigglypuff's marker, but they will also generally wake up in a better mood than when they fell asleep. The full power of its song was proven in EP072, when Jigglypuff awoke a giant Jigglypuff (who is called by one character the pun name "Bigglypuff") who was able to put two giant fighting Pokémon, Gengar and Alakazam, to sleep. It then pulled out a paintbrush and painted all over the Gengar and Alakazam's bodies, much like what the regular-sized Jigglypuff would do with its marker.

Besides its marker, Jigglypuff also has a voice-changing microphone which it picked up in EP054, but it has yet to use it. It is assumed that this item was intended to be used again in a different plot and then forgotten, much like the GS Ball.

Jigglypuff appears only once in Advanced Generation, in episode AG039. It has not appeared in Pokémon: Battle Frontier, except in the form of a karaoke mike in AG142, which had a miniature Jigglypuff on it complete with its own tiny marker. While a Jigglypuff appeared in AG138, it was not this same Jigglypuff, having a different voice, different properties of its Sing attack, lacking a marker, and being able to use Flamethrower. Based on how scarcely it is seen at this point, the Jigglypuff which followed Ash through a large portion of his journey may have faded from the anime cast completely.
