Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン Purin) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Igglybuff when leveled up with high happiness and evolves into Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Jigglypuff appear to be round, pink balls with small, cat-like ears and very large eyes. Jigglypuff have rubbery, balloon like skin. They have small arms, but rather large feet and no tail. They appear to have a hair-like curl on their head. Jigglypuff seems to be filled with air, as a defeated Jigglypuff in Pokémon Stadium, along with its sequels, floats down to the ground like a deflated balloon or a piece of paper.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Jigglypuff is most known for singing soothing lullabies that can make almost anything sleep. Like Clefairy, Jigglypuff is also capable of learning various elemental attacks. They can also float in the air and the wind easily blows them about.

Behavior

Jigglypuff use their big, round eyes to mesmerize their opponents. Once their foe is distracted, they will inflate their lungs and begin to sing a soothing lullaby. If the opponent resists falling asleep, These Pokémon will endanger their own lives by continuing their song until their lungs run out of air.

Habitat

Jigglypuff are mostly found in lush green plains and grassy meadows, but they sometimes do appear in caves. Jigglypuff can also be found in some cities and towns. It's indigenous to every region except Orre.

Major appearances

Jigglypuff (anime)

From The Song of Jigglypuff through the end of the Johto series, a wild Jigglypuff followed Ash Ketchum's group, 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. It reappeared being featured in one early Advanced Generation episode.

Pokédex entries

In the manga

In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

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.

In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga

Main article: Jigglypuff (MPJ)

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's Wigglytuff, Jiggly, as a Jigglypuff

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Jiggly

Green of Pokémon Adventures has a Jigglypuff. It is her starter Pokémon and is capable of swelling up to several times its size, allowing Green to float with it like a hot-air balloon as well as block narrow passageways -- a tactic instrumental in helping Silver and her escape the Masked Man. Later, in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, it evolved into a Wigglytuff alongside two of Green's other Pokémon with the power of her Moon Stones. Notably, in Chuang Yi's translation, it is the only Pokémon on her team without a nickname despite being the first Pokémon she ever received. The reason for this is that during her captivity under the Masked Man, she was reprimanded for wishing to nickname it.

Trivia

• Jigglypuff is typically depicted in the Smash Bros. series and other 3D games, Rough, Tough Jigglypuff and other anime episodes, and Ken Sugimori's art with green eyes and tea rose pink fur, more closely resembling its shiny form.
• Jigglypuff's evolutionary family shares the same species name with Qwilfish and Drifloon. They are all known as Balloon Pokémon.
• Jigglypuff's Crystal still sprite is different from that of Gold and Silver, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in Generation II.
• In the Super Smash Bros. series, Jigglypuff is the only character to keep its original voice track through all three games.
• Jigglypuff is one of the only Pokémon that is able to be caught in every main series game of every generation, including remakes and expansion games.

Origin

It appears to be based on a balloon and a pink puff. Because of its color, shape, as well as its ability to puff up and float, Jigglypuff may have also been based on Kirby.

Name origin

Jigglypuff's name is a combination of jiggly and puff, referring to its wobbly shape and ability to inflate itself. Many people have been unable to decipher its Japanese name, but concede that it may simply be taken from the Japanese word for pudding, purin. It may also be a combination of 風船 fūsen, balloon, and 膨れる fukureru, to expand or inflate.
