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. 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}}''. | 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 except ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Legends: Arceus}}'' (though it was also absent from [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']] until a post-release update).

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 returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', it has reverted back to being an unlockable character. Although it has been moderately buffed, it still has very exploitable weakness and is thus considered to be an average character at best. However, as of patch 6.0.0, Jigglypuff was given buffs to many of its moves, most notably its down air, which is now able to combo into [[Rest]]. This has led many players, including {{Sm|GimR}} to consider moving it to a much higher tier, while players such as {{ | Jigglypuff returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
