Jigglypuff first appears as one of the 151 species of Pokémon in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Green'']], and has appeared in all subsequent mainline installments (though it was absent from [[bulbapedia: Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']] until a post-release update). It is characterized by its round, pink body, cat-like ears, swirling tuft of hair, and large, glassy eyes. Initially, Jigglypuff was solely a Normal-type Pokémon, but in Generation VI, it gained the newly-introduced Fairy type as its secondary type.

Initially, Jigglypuff was solely a Normal-type Pokémon, but in Generation VI, it gained the newly-introduced Fairy type as its secondary type. The {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokédex}} categorizes Jigglypuff at #039 as the "Balloon Pokémon". Jigglypuff also has an apparent ancient relative known as {{pkmn|Scream Tail}}, a {{iw|bulbapedia|Paradox Pokémon}} that debuted in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Scarlet}}''. | ||
The Pokédex also provides additional biological info about the Jigglypuff species. After it mesmerizes its foe with its large, round eyes, it sings its lullaby until the foe sleeps, and does not stop to breathe until the foe is fully asleep; it can perform longer with its single breath if it inflates its body with air beforehand. Its vocal chords can freely adjust the wavelength of its voice, and it sings at precisely the right wavelength to make its foes most drowsy. The sound waves of its singing voice match the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep. Nothing can avoid falling asleep after hearing a Jigglypuff's song, but some are more naturally resistant to the effects than others and take much longer to sleep. This effectively endangers a singing Jigglypuff's life if its opponent takes a long time to fall asleep, as it cannot breathe until they do. | The Pokédex also provides additional biological info about the Jigglypuff species.

Jigglypuff is one of the four secret characters in ''Super Smash Bros.'' Despite not being a lead character in the ''Pokémon'' franchise, Jigglypuff was a desirable choice for the game for two primary reasons: its popular appearance in the anime at the time (a trait shared with [[Mewtwo]], who was also intended to appear in ''SSB''), and its physical similarities to [[Kirby]], which allowed the staff to reuse his animations as a base. Owing to this, Jigglypuff is considered a kind of [[semi-clone]], though later installments would fully declone it from Kirby. | Jigglypuff is one of the four secret characters in ''Super Smash Bros.''

Additionally, while [[Clefairy]] was also under consideration as a popular Pokemon that could be created with Kirby as the base, Jigglypuff won out because its character was considered more fitting for it.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/64dream-may-1999-ozidual/64Dream%201999%2005%20%28J%20OCR%29/page/n91/mode/2up?view=theater The 64 DREAM May 1999, p. 91]. ところで、「どうして隠しキャラにプリンが?」っていう意見もあったりするんですが。 / ふつうの格闘ゲームは、基本になる骨格などを一緒に作って、やられるモーションなども使いまわすことができるんです。でも「スマブラ」の場合は基本の8キャラがすべて異なる体型で作られているんですね。その上、やられパターンとか倒れパターン、それに起き上がりら攻撃パターンや崖捕まりパターンなど、それぞれ違う作りをしていて、それらを全て作るのは、ふつうの格闘っていうレベルでみてもすごく大変なことなんです。それで、隠れキャラは基本キャラの骨格を使い回すことを前提にしたんです。なので、ネスとルイージはマリオと同じ骨格でできてるし、ファルコンはサムス、プリンはカービィと一緒というわけなんです。プリンを選んだのはそういった骨格の類似性もありましたが、それとは別に、「人気ポケモンは?」って考えたときに、最後まで残ったのがピッピとプリンだったんですね。カービィ体形でピッピを作ることも可能だったと思いますけど、とりあえずキャラクター的な性格からして、プリンの方がやられ役っぽさがあったので選びました。</ref> Owing to this, Jigglypuff is considered a kind of [[semi-clone]], though later installments would fully declone it from Kirby. | ||
Jigglypuff's [[Rest]] attack is considered to be one of the most powerful moves in the game. Aside from sharing similar physical characteristics with {{SSB|Kirby}}, its jumps are weaker than Kirby's. Jigglypuff is right in the middle of the [[tier]] list, being ranked 6 out of 12. | Jigglypuff's [[Rest]] attack is considered to be one of the most powerful moves in the game.

Jigglypuff returns once again in ''Brawl''. Jigglypuff appears the same as before, but is more difficult to unlock than in previous installments of the series, considering it was the 33rd character introduced on the [[DOJO!!]] and the last [[unlockable character]] to be introduced. | Jigglypuff returns once again in ''Brawl''.

Jigglypuff is once again an unlockable playable character in the 3DS version, but a starter character in the Wii U version. Its appearance is now more similar to its appearance in recent Pokémon games, with it having blue eyes for the first time in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. | Jigglypuff is once again an unlockable playable character in the 3DS version, but a starter character in the Wii U version.

Jigglypuff is ranked 55th on the current ''SSB4'' [[tier list]] in the G tier, a slight drop from its already poor standing in ''Brawl''. Despite its reputation as a bottom tier character in ''Brawl'', Jigglypuff was nerfed in the transition. While its combo ability was restored and [[Rest]] and back aerial were given extra KO power, Jigglypuff's recovery, aerials and already poor grounded game were nerfed, its poor endurance has been reduced further thanks to ''SSB4'''s weaker shields and the addition of [[rage]], and its edgeguarding ability was nerfed indirectly due to the addition of ledge-trumping. While many veterans have had their recoveries buffed, Jigglypuff's recovery was nerfed, due to its shorter jumps and the lower momentum given by [[Pound]]. Lastly, Jigglypuff has received no direct changes whatsoever in game updates, despite the fact that every other character on the roster received changes of some kind. As such, its tournament status remains very poor like in ''Brawl'', having little to no tournament representation and overall poor results. | Jigglypuff is ranked 55th on the current ''SSB4'' [[tier list]] in the G tier, a slight drop from its already poor standing in ''Brawl''.
