Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', where it was found standing on a stump. {{an|Misty}} tried to capture it with her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, but decided otherwise when she learned that the Jigglypuff could not {{m|Sing|sing}}. After {{Ash}} and his friends had thwarted [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s plan to capture Jigglypuff, they agreed to restore the Balloon Pokémon's voice. They succeeded when {{an|Brock}} gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Now capable of singing, it performed for them, putting everyone within hearing range to sleep. This upset Jigglypuff, which angrily dug 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, they saw that it was still unhappy. After a similar failure with their Pokémon ({{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} appeared to have succeeded at first but was soon discovered to merely be sleeping with its eyes open), Ash and his friends promised to find someone who could listen to its song without falling asleep. Later, it sang for the people in [[Neon Town]], putting the whole town to sleep (and scribbling on everyone's face afterward). | Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', where it was found standing on a stump. {{an|Misty}} tried to capture it with her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, but decided otherwise when she learned that the Jigglypuff could not {{m|Sing|sing}}.

Jigglypuff would begin to follow the gang throughout their journey until during the [[Advanced Generation series]]. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep. This goal was mentioned by {{MTR}} during a conversation between the two Pokémon in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', when they made a short-lived agreement to pursue their dreams together. Jigglypuff became absorbed in its dream to become a famous singer, tending to shift between reality and fantasy. Because of this, it frequently went great lengths to protect its microphone-like marker. | Jigglypuff would begin to follow the gang throughout their journey until during the [[Advanced Generation series]].

Jigglypuff is characterized by its sassy attitude and love of attention. In ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', it secretly attacks Pikachu as an envious response to Ash's affection for his Pokémon. Similarly, in ''[[EP243|Same Old Song and Dance]]'', it bullies two {{p|Igglybuff}} who perform with their Trainer {{jo|Brittany}}. Jigglypuff is also quick-tempered, ending potential friendships with those who upset it (like with Meowth in ''Tunnel Vision''). | Jigglypuff is characterized by its sassy attitude and love of attention.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker. However, there have been two instances in which characters have listened to a portion of its song without getting drowsy: the first being during Jigglypuff's first performance in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', and the second during its brief appearance in ''[[EP054|Case of the K-9 Capers]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were trying to fight off a brainwashed {{p|Growlithe}} Squad. In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', its song is finally heard completely by a {{p|Whismur}}, though the Whismur would faint during Jigglypuff's second performance due to exhaustion from a previous unrelated battle. | Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag.

Jigglypuff's only appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] was in the chapter ''[[ET15|Attack of the Demon Stomach]]'' where it is used to knock out a hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from eating all of the fruit on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]]. | Jigglypuff's only appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] was in the chapter ''[[ET15|Attack of the Demon Stomach]]'' where it is used to knock out a hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from eating all of the fruit on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]]. | ||
