'''Rest''' is the name given to [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Down B]]. This attack is known for its high knockback, almost non-existant startup lag, very small range, and four seconds' worth of [[cool down]]. The specific effect varies from game to game, with Melee's Rest having several times more knockback and 8% more [[damage]] at the expense of a bit of range. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Jigglypuff's Rest now deals less damage (although with the same amount of knockback) and no longer has a firey effect to it, but now it produces a [[flower]] effect. The attack can be comboed into by many of Jigglypuff's moves, including [[up throw]], [[pound]], and [[up tilt]]. The [[hitbox]] comes out in 1 [[frame]], making it tied for the fastest move in the game with [[Falco]]'s or [[Fox]]'s [[shine]].

'''Rest''' ({{ja|ねむる|Nemuru}}, ''Sleep'') (named '''Sleep''' on the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' website) is [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[down special move]].
{{Jigglypuff Special Moves}}
 
==Overview==
Jigglypuff turns toward the screen and falls asleep for about 3 seconds. Unlike the [[asleep|sleep]] state caused by other moves, Jigglypuff cannot wake up faster via [[button mashing]]. Before Jigglypuff falls asleep, any opponent in contact with it is instantly hit, with a [[ping]] sound being heard (except in the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where a normal strong attack sound plays). This attack is infamously known for its extreme [[knockback]], instant startup lag (as it hits on frame 1 in ''Smash 64'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and on frame 2 in later games), very small range, and a long vulnerability period. Jigglypuff gains [[intangibility]] for about 25-30 frames (depending on the game) at the start of the move, approximately the time it takes to close its eyes; however, this is unlikely to protect the user in case of a miss due to the move's extreme ending lag.
 
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
:{{Main|Jigglypuff (SSB)/Down special}}
[[File:SSB64 Jigglypuff Teleport to Rest.gif|thumb|Jigglypuff performing a [[Teleport (SSB)|teleport]] into Rest.]]
 
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Rest is a powerful move that deals high damage and strong horizontal knockback. The move deals 20% and is capable of KOing most characters under 50% at the center of {{SSB|Dream Land}}. The move comes out instantly on frame 1 (although it is only active on this frame), has a reasonably sized hitbox, and provides 29 frames of intangibility during its startup. However, the entire move takes 249 frames (over 4 seconds) to complete, which leaves Jigglypuff vulnerable for an extremely long period of time. When used on or above the stage, Jigglypuff's opponents have a lot of time to punish Rest, and when it is used off-stage, it leads to a guaranteed [[self-destruct]] unless something hits Jigglypuff upwards before it reaches the bottom blast zone.
 
Due of its frame 1 startup and powerful hitbox, Rest is an extremely effective combo finisher. Jigglypuff has a multitude of ways to combo into Rest for a KO, such as with a {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|forward throw}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|up aerial}}, or {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|down aerial}}. These setups into Rest reduce the move's otherwise extreme risk to use.
 
In the original Japanese version of ''Smash 64'', Rest was much weaker, only dealing 14% damage and much lower knockback (especially at lower percents). The move did not KO nearly as early as in the international versions, making the reward for landing it much lower. The move also did not make its signature "ping" sound effect. Rest was the only move Jigglypuff had which received a major change in the international version, being the main reason why Jigglypuff is considered better in the North American version. In the PAL versions of the game, Rest's hitbox size was noticeably reduced, which made the move harder to land than in NTSC versions. This smaller hitbox would be carried over to ''Melee''.
 
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
:{{Main|Jigglypuff (SSBM)/Down special}}
[[File:Space Animal Slayer.gif|thumb|Jigglypuff performing an up throw → Rest combo on {{SSBM|Fox}} (known as the [[Space Animal Slayer]]).]]
In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Rest's already extreme power was exponentially increased. The move now deals 28% damage, and it is capable of KOing most characters under 15% from center stage (on tournament legal stages), and it can even [[OHKO]] in certain situations (depending on the opponent's stage position and [[DI]]). Rest can still be combo'd into using some of Jigglypuff's moves (albeit not as reliably as in the previous game), such as its up throw or up aerial. Because of this, Rest is an even more devastating tool than in the previous game, and it is one of Jigglypuff's main ways to score KOs.
 
A minor change the move received was that it now has a [[flame]] effect rather than a [[normal]] effect, with the move now setting opponents on fire when it connects. The only downsides Rest has compared to its ''Smash 64'' incarnation is that it has a considerably smaller hitbox (being the slightest bit smaller than its hitbox in the PAL versions of ''Smash 64''), and its intangibility lasts for 3 less frames. These changes, however, are minuscule compared to its greatly increased power, making Rest one of ''Melee'' Jigglypuff's most defining moves, being one of the main reasons why Jigglypuff is considered to be a top tier.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
:{{Main|Jigglypuff (SSBB)/Down special}}
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Rest has seen some rather drastic changes, mostly for the worse. One positive change is that the move now has a [[flower]] effect, which enables the move to build up more damage after it connects (now being able to deal a maximum of 42%). Two more positive (albeit minor) changes are that the move has a slightly bigger hitbox and it has one more frame of intangibility.
 
One notable change is that the move now launches vertically. This makes the move much safer when it KOs opponents on the ground (as it will always cause a [[Star KO]] or [[Screen KO]]), and it can even still be somewhat safe when used-off stage, as it will still cause a Blast KO (granted that the opponent is not too close to the stage). However, this vertical angle also makes the move significantly less safe in the event that it does not KO.
 
However, the move has seen two negative changes. The first negative change is that the move now comes on frame 2 rather than frame 1, although this is mostly insignificant overall. The second and far more detrimental change is that the move has drastically reduced damage (only dealing 15% without the flower effect, nearly half as much as in ''Melee'') and knockback (with Rest no longer being able to KO reliably until around 75% on middleweights). This makes Rest a far less useful move, being more of a high risk, low reward move than a high risk, high reward move. This change, combined with the game's numerous universal changes, have hindered Rest even further, as Jigglypuff now has no truly reliable ways to set up into it. The only setups Jigglypuff really has are with its down aerial and from a [[jab lock]], with the former being unreliable and only working at very high percents, while the latter is extremely situational. As a result, Rest is a far less effective move than it was in ''Melee'', being one of the main reasons why Jigglypuff is considered to be so much worse in ''Brawl''.
 
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
:{{Main|Jigglypuff (SSB4)/Down special}}
Rest in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' has seen multiple changes which improved the move overall. The hitbox is larger and it now lasts for 3 frames rather than one. In addition, the move now has 20 frames less ending lag (although the move is still incredibly punishable). The most beneficial change the move received, however, is that it now deals 20% damage, which grants it greater knockback. This means that Rest can now KO middleweights at around 50% and makes it a vastly more potent move overall. However, Jigglypuff still lacks reliable setups into Rest, especially with the changes to its down aerial, as well as with some other moves.
 
Additionally, there is now a chance that the move will cause a Blast KO on stage (due to universal changes), so even if the opponent is KOed, they can potentially now re-spawn and punish Jigglypuff, increasing the risk of using Rest even more, despite its decreased ending lag. On the other hand, this also means Jigglypuff will typically self-destruct after the opponent is KOed if the move is initiated offstage. Overall, while Rest was repurposed to be a lower risk, higher reward move, various changes (both universal and to Jigglypuff) have somewhat caused an opposite effect in a way, although it is still functionally superior to its ''Brawl'' counterpart.
 
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
:{{Main|Jigglypuff (SSBU)/Down special}}
Rest in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' now triggers a [[Special Zoom]] when it connects. Besides that, the move has seen multiple improvements, with the move receiving a larger hitbox again (although it is still smaller than in ''Smash 64'') and having less ending lag (especially when Jigglypuff lands the Rest), meaning it can actually recover from it for the first time in the series if the move is used high enough offstage. This reduces the risk of using Rest, although Jigglypuff's opponent can still punish it if it connects (granted that they get a Blast KO). Despite that, the move has also gained some disadvantages, most notably ''Ultimate's'' reworked [[jostle]] mechanics working against the move's ground-based potential, as Jigglypuff can no longer walk or run into other characters in order to connect with it. Therefore, the move finds more use in the air compared to other games. Additionally, Jigglypuff has gained a few potential setups into the move; mainly with [[Pound]] and its down aerial, due to their respective buffs. Overall, Rest in ''Ultimate'' is considerably improved compared to the previous two games, although it still pales in comparison to its ''Melee'' counterpart.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Jigglypuff|Down|name1=Rest|desc1=A well-earned nap. Use it while touching a foe to unleash its hidden power.|name2=Leaping Rest|desc2=A well-earned nap…with added altitude. No one will disturb you all the way up there.|name3=Wakie Wakie|desc3=A short yet peaceful nap. Oh, and you explode when you wake up. Not so peaceful, I guess.}}
# '''Rest''': Default.
# '''Leaping Rest''': Launches Jigglypuff upwards while it falls asleep. While it has less knockback than standard Rest, it consists of a "striking" hitbox while jumping that can be comboed into more easily, having kill confirms out of up tilt and up air. Hitting with the early frames still causes a flower effect, though the strike does not. The initial hit does not KO until up to 45% later from the ground, with the strike KOing later, but having the ability to hit opponents very high up for early kills. Jigglypuff sleeps for 50% longer than the default. On stages like [[Kongo Jungle (64)]] with semi-soft [[platform]]s, it can be used as a last resort [[recovery]] move; however, it cannot be used on most stages, as Jigglypuff cannot grab ledges while asleep. {{Main|Jigglypuff (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 1}}
# '''Wakie Wakie'''/'''Wakey-Wakey (PAL)''': Loses its ability to send opponents flying when they make contact. When Jigglypuff falls asleep, it emits a [[push]]ing vortex, which can make the move harder to land, but can also protect Jigglypuff by pushing foes away. Jigglypuff stays asleep for just half the amount of time, then Jigglypuff will wake up with an explosion larger than the vortex, take 5% [[recoil damage]], and inflict 15% [[flame]] damage to nearby opponents. The move is overall faster, with more startup but lower ending lag, despite the waking up animation having a [[frame speed multiplier]] of 2. The move has the potential to KO from 90% to 100%. {{Main|Jigglypuff (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 2}}
 
==Origin==
[[File:JigglypuffRestRBY.gif|thumb|Jigglypuff using {{iw|bulbapedia|Rest|move}} in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red}}''.]]
Rest is a Psychic-type status (non-damaging) move introduced in Generation I. It puts the user to sleep for two turns in exchange for recovering all of their HP back to maximum and healing any status ailments. The two turns of sleep may leave the user open to their opponent's attacks or setup, unless the user has an item or {{iw|bulbapedia|Ability}} that can cure the sleep early or the user knows {{iw|bulbapedia|Sleep Talk|move}} or {{iw|bulbapedia|Snore|move}}.
 
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Rest also puts the user to sleep and leaves it vulnerable in exchange for a powerful effect, but instead of healing damage,
it deals damage with very powerful knockback if used right next to a foe - essentially making its ''Smash'' incarnation a polar opposite to its original function. While this has no canonical basis in the ''Pokémon'' series, Rest's depiction in ''Smash'' is similar in function to numerous powerful moves in the ''Pokémon'' games that leave the user open to attacks the following turn, such as {{iw|bulbapedia|Hyper Beam|move}}. In the description of one of its ''Melee'' Smash trophies, as well as in [[Snake]]'s [[Codec Conversations]] about Jigglypuff, it is stated that this is because at the instant Jigglypuff falls asleep, a huge build-up of energy forms at the center of its body. This is an example of the ''Smash'' producers changing the functions of a move to suit the games; other examples of this from the ''Pokémon'' series include [[Withdraw]], [[Double Team]] and [[Substitute]].
 
In every ''Pokémon'' generation, Jigglypuff can learn Rest by levelling up, being one of the few Pokémon that can do so. Additionally, nearly every Pokémon can learn Rest via {{iw|bulbapedia|TM44}} from Generation I to VII, {{iw|bulbapedia|TM21}} in Generation VIII, and {{iw|bulbapedia|TM085}} in Generation IX.

==Trivia==
*The voice clip Jigglypuff uses when waking up from Rest in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' was moved from ''Melee'' onward to its usage of Rollout, instead receiving a new voice clip for the aforementioned Rest wakeup. Additionally, Jigglypuff vocalizes twice in ''Smash 64'' while asleep, while it only does so once in the rest of the ''Smash'' games.
*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Rest is the only move in the series that can inflict the flower effect that is neither a custom special move or a Final Smash.
**The only other move that can apply a flower in ''Ultimate'' is [[Hero]]'s [[Hocus Pocus]], and that is only self-inflicted.
*In ''Brawl'', if Jigglypuff lands while still asleep, its eyes will open for a single frame before closing again.
