'''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin''), is a fictional creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} series and a playable character in all four ''Smash'' games.
'''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin''), is a creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series. It debuted in the series' [[bulbapedia:Generation I|first generation]], and is considered part of the "[[Fighter#"Perfect-attendance crew"|perfect-attendance crew]]" throughout the entire ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.


It holds the distinction of being unlockable in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|first four iterations of ''Super Smash Bros.'']]. Traditionally, it was the first [[unlockable character]] in the first two games (''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''). ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', though, made it the last unlockable character to be accessible. {{for3ds}}, however, made it the last character to be unlocked in terms of VS matches needing completion (though, like most other unlockable characters in the game, it can actually still be unlocked first) while {{forwiiu}} put it on the default roster for the first time.
==Origin==
[[File:JigglypuffArtworkRG.png|thumb|left|Jigglypuff's original artwork from ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue''.]]
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). 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}}''.


==Creature description==
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.
[[File:JigglypuffArtworkRG.png|thumb|left|Jigglypuff's original artwork from ''Pokémon Red and Green''.]]
Jigglypuff first appears as one of the 151 species of Pokémon in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Green'']], and appears in all versions following it. Despite not being a lead character in the ''Pokémon'' franchise, Jigglypuff was selected to appear in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series due to its similarities to [[Kirby]], which allowed the staff to reuse the model and many animations as a base for Jigglypuff. It was also desirable because of its prominent appearance in the ''Pokémon'' anime at the time (as well as [[Mewtwo]] and [[Meowth]], who were apparently intented to appear in the original game), as a certain Jigglypuff is notable for putting any human or Pokémon that doesn't resist to sleep and has became a recurring character of the anime series since its debut until the end of the original series. Prior to Generation VI, Jigglypuff was a sole Normal type Pokémon, but has later gained the Generation VI introduced Fairy type as its secondary type.


As mentioned above, Jigglypuff is similar to Kirby in appearance, however Jigglypuff have larger eyes, thinner limbs, and large, triangular ears, as well as a curled tuft of hair on on its head. This somewhat feminine appearance has led to many [[smasher]]s and others who have not played Pokémon to refer to Jigglypuff as a "she". Within the ''Pokémon'' world, there are both male and female Jigglypuff, and females are more common than males (with 75% of all Jigglypuff being female), but the ''Smash'' character is always referred to as "it".
[[bulbapedia:Jigglypuff (anime)|One particular Jigglypuff]] is a highly prominent and popular recurring character in the ''Pokémon'' anime series, often seen carrying a marker that resembles a microphone. It is well known for putting any human or Pokémon to sleep with its irresistible singing; however, this causes it to become angry and scribble over its audience's faces while they are asleep.


The [[bulbapedia:Pokédex|Pokédex]] 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 because it cannot breathe.
Jigglypuff's somewhat feminine appearance and voice often leads fans to refer to it as "she". Indeed, while there are both male and female Jigglypuff within the ''Pokémon'' universe, females are more common than males, with 75% of all Jigglypuff being female. However, per The Pokémon Company's stance on referring to Pokémon with gender-neutral pronouns regardless of gender differences, the Jigglypuff in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is referred to as "it".

Jigglypuff is one of the four secret characters in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and is considered to be the easiest one to unlock. Its [[Rest]] attack is considered to be one of the most powerful moves in the game. Aside from sharing similar physical characteristics with {{SSB|Kirby}}, it has a slightly better jump than Kirby. Jigglypuff is right in the middle of the [[tier]] list, being ranked 6 out of 12.

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. 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.
REMEMBER: Nintendo's official stance is that Jigglypuff, like all Pokémon, go by gender-neutral pronouns. Be sure to use "it" instead of "he" or "she".

Jigglypuff returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as one of the eleven secret characters. It is unlockable after clearing [[Classic Mode (SSBM)|Classic]] or [[Adventure]] mode with any character, except {{SSBM|Mario}} (unless {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} is unlocked already). Thanks to an update, and like a few other characters, it has a new [[neutral special move]], [[Rollout]], which replaces its previous standard special move, [[Pound]], which has become its [[side special move]]. Jigglypuff has been largely [[buff]]ed from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', and is now ranked 5th on the [[tier list]] in S tier.

Jigglypuff ranks 36th out of 38 (in F tier) on the current tier list, an extreme [[nerf]] from ''Melee''. Jigglypuff suffered from the biggest tier drop from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'', going from top tier (middle-high tier when ''Brawl'' was released) in ''Melee'' to bottom tier in ''Brawl''.
Jigglypuff ranks 36th out of 38 (in F tier) on the current tier list, suffering extreme [[nerf]]s from ''Melee''. Jigglypuff suffered from the biggest tier drop from one of the best characters in ''Melee'' to a candidate for the worst character in ''Brawl''. Due to the mechanics, its back and forward aerials are no longer as disjointed, its combo ability was more reliant on hitstun, and its approach capabilities are also poor. As a result, Jigglypuff is considered non-viable in ''Brawl''.

Jigglypuff ranks at 55th out of 56 characters on the [[tier list]] in J tier, a slight drop from its already poor standing in ''Brawl''. While Jigglypuff was initially seen as buffed from ''Brawl'', it became clear that most of its flaws have been worsened, and is now seen as even worse than ''Brawl''. Its combo ability was restored and [[Rest]] has regained much of its KO power that was lost in ''Brawl''. However, its aerials and already poor grounded game were nerfed, its poor endurance has been reduced further thanks to ''Smash 4'''s weaker shields and the addition of [[rage]], and its edgeguarding ability was nerfed indirectly due to the addition of ledge-trumping. Lastly, while many veterans have had their recoveries buffed, its recovery was nerfed, due to its shorter jumps and the lower momentum given by Pound. As such, its tournament status remains terrible like in ''Brawl'', having little to no tournament representation and overall poor results.

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 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 {{sm|Mr.R}} believe the buffs are overrated and that it should remain as a low tier character.

==Trivia==
*The Jigglypuff in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has green eyes (the same color as its {{s|bulbapedia|shiny}} version's) instead of the normal blue seen in official artwork. This was changed in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Jigglypuff's tone is also more similar to its anime and shiny color, rather than its darker pink color in the games.
*Jigglypuff is the only character whose up special cannot recover any height. To substitute, Pound functions as a minor jump.
*Jigglypuff is the only playable Pokémon in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to lack a [[projectile]].
**This was also the case for [[Yoshi]]{{'}}s up special prior to ''Brawl''.
*Of the four unlockable characters featured in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Jigglypuff is the only one to have remained an unlockable until the release of {{forwiiu}}.
*Jigglypuff is the first character who cannot experience [[helpless]]ness from its own moveset; in Jigglypuff's case, it originally couldn't render itself helpless in ''64''. In ''Melee'', the addition of [[Rollout]] and the [[air dodge]] enabled it to become helpless, but both no longer leave it helpless as of ''Brawl''. From ''Smash 4'' onward, it can once again be rendered helpless by touching a red trampoline from [[Pac-Jump]].
**Jigglypuff is tied with [[Falco]] and [[Mr. Game & Watch]] for the most unlockable appearances, with 4.
**Jigglypuff and [[Zero Suit Samus]] are the only characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to receive new special moves invoking helplessness in subsequent installments of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series despite debuting in the series without any, as Rollout renders Jigglypuff helpless after usage in the air in ''Melee'' (the game Rollout was added in). However, this property has been removed as of ''Brawl''.
*In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', Jigglypuff is the only character that doesn't applaud on the results screen when losing a match or the no contest screen, likely due to its tiny arms. This trait sticks with it in subsequent ''Smash'' games.
*Jigglypuff has significantly fewer voice clips in the English, French and German versions of ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' compared to the Japanese versions. This is more noticeable in the latter two games' [[Sound Test]], as the English versions of both games list only 18 voice clips compared to 26 or 27 in the Japanese versions of ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', respectively.
**In ''Ultimate'', Jigglypuff is the only character to receive new Japanese voice clips while reusing its English voice clips from previous installments.
*Under The Pokémon Company International, Jigglypuff is currently voiced by Michele Knotz in the English dub of the ''Pokémon'' anime; however, the ''Smash Bros.'' series continues to use recycled voice clips from Rachael Lillis, its original voice actress from the anime's 4Kids Entertainment dub until 2006.
*Until ''SSB4'', Jigglypuff had green eyes, the same color as its {{iw|bulbapedia|shiny}} coloration, instead of the blue eyes it normally has. This also matches the recurring Jigglypuff character from the anime.
*Of the four unlockable characters featured in ''SSB'', Jigglypuff spent the longest time as an unlockable character throughout the series, as it wasn't a starter character until {{forwiiu}}.
*Jigglypuff was considered to be cut in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'',<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/17/sakuraibrawlquestions/</ref> and [[Ness]] was also considered being replaced by [[Lucas]] in those games, making them the only members of the "Original 12" that are known to have been considered being cut at certain points in the development of subsequent games in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
*Jigglypuff is the only character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be fully [[clone|decloned]].
*Prior to ''Brawl'', Jigglypuff was the only playable character in the series to use a different voice actor between regions (barring [[Smash Taunt]]s).
*Jigglypuff has the slowest [[falling speed]] of all fighters in every ''Smash'' game to date.
*Despite having slightly slower [[air speed]] than [[Yoshi]] in every game but ''Melee'' by default, Jigglypuff has the fastest [[air acceleration]] by default in every game but ''Brawl''.
*Jigglypuff and [[Ganondorf]] are the only characters to rank dead last on the current tier lists for multiple games. The NTSC and European tier lists for ''Brawl'' and the ''Ultimate'' tier list place Ganondorf dead last, while the Japanese tier list for ''Brawl'' and the ''Smash 4'' tier list place Jigglypuff dead last.

Article on Bulbapedia Jigglypuff (Pokémon)

Jigglypuff (プリン, Purin), is a creature from the Pokémon series. It debuted in the series' first generation, and is considered part of the "perfect-attendance crew" throughout the entire Super Smash Bros. series.

Origin[edit]

Jigglypuff's original artwork from Pokémon Red and Blue.

Jigglypuff first appears as one of the 151 species of Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Green, and has appeared in all subsequent mainline installments except Pokémon Legends: Arceus (though it was also absent from 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 Pokédex categorizes Jigglypuff at #039 as the "Balloon Pokémon". Jigglypuff also has an apparent ancient relative known as Scream Tail, a Paradox Pokémon that debuted in 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.

One particular Jigglypuff is a highly prominent and popular recurring character in the Pokémon anime series, often seen carrying a marker that resembles a microphone. It is well known for putting any human or Pokémon to sleep with its irresistible singing; however, this causes it to become angry and scribble over its audience's faces while they are asleep.

Jigglypuff's somewhat feminine appearance and voice often leads fans to refer to it as "she". Indeed, while there are both male and female Jigglypuff within the Pokémon universe, females are more common than males, with 75% of all Jigglypuff being female. However, per The Pokémon Company's stance on referring to Pokémon with gender-neutral pronouns regardless of gender differences, the Jigglypuff in the Super Smash Bros. series is referred to as "it".

In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Jigglypuff (SSB)
Official artwork of Jigglypuff from Super Smash Bros.

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. 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.[1] 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 Kirby, its jumps are weaker than Kirby's. Jigglypuff is right in the middle of the tier list, being ranked 6 out of 12.

In-game description:

The Balloon PKMN with the big, round eyes. It sings a soothing melody, sending those that hear it to sleep. When mad, it puffs itself up. As a Balloon PKMN, its body is light, weak, and easy to knock away.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Jigglypuff (SSBM)
Jigglypuff, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Jigglypuff returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the eleven secret characters. It is unlockable after clearing Classic or Adventure mode with any character except Mario (unless Dr. Mario is unlocked already). Like a few other characters, it has a new neutral special move, Rollout, which replaces its previous neutral special Pound, now its side special. Jigglypuff has been largely buffed from Smash 64 to Melee, and is now ranked 3rd on the tier list in S tier. It is the only character that gets instantly KO'ed from a broken shield, as Jigglypuff is shot upwards at incredible speeds instead of being stunned.

Trophies[edit]

Jigglypuff has three trophies to its name, just like all the other playable characters; the original trophy, acquired by clearing Classic Mode with it on any difficulty, and "Smash Red" and "Smash Blue" trophies won by clearing Adventure and All-Star Modes, respectively.

Jigglypuff's Classic Mode trophy in Melee
Jigglypuff
(1.0/1.01 NTSC) This balloon Pokémon invites its opponents in close with its big, round eyes and then puts them to sleep with a soothing lullaby. It puffs itself up when angry, and while it may look adorable, it's not to be trifled with: it knows several powerful techniques. Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff after exposure to a Moon Stone.

Pokémon Red & Blue (9/98)
Jigglypuff's Adventure Mode trophy in Melee
Jigglypuff SMASH
Jigglypuff's normal attacks are weak, and because of its light weight it's easily sent flying. However, with its incredible midair agility, it seems to dance when airborne. Rollout is a powerful speed attack, but be careful not to fly off the edge. Pound does serious damage, and it can also help as a recovery move.
B: Rollout
Smash B: Pound
Jigglypuff's All-Star Mode trophy in Melee
Jigglypuff SMASH
Jigglypuff can put its enemies to sleep if they are in range of its Sing attack, although the attack does not work on airborne foes. Rest puts Jigglypuff into a deep sleep, but at the instant it drops off, an intense energy force radiates out of the exact center of its body. If this force comes in contact with an enemy, look out! Rest is Jigglypuff's wild card.

Down & B: Rest

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Jigglypuff (SSBB)
Jigglypuff, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

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's Final Smash is Puff Up. It inflates and gets larger and pushes any character off the stage, and Jigglypuff is invulnerable during this form.

Jigglypuff ranks 36th out of 38 (in F tier) on the current tier list, suffering extreme nerfs from Melee. Jigglypuff suffered from the biggest tier drop from one of the best characters in Melee to a candidate for the worst character in Brawl. Due to the mechanics, its back and forward aerials are no longer as disjointed, its combo ability was more reliant on hitstun, and its approach capabilities are also poor. As a result, Jigglypuff is considered non-viable in Brawl.

Trophy[edit]

A Balloon Pokémon. It invites opponents in close with its big, round eyes, then puts them to sleep with a calming song. The secret to the song's unfailing efficacy is Jigglypuff's ability to sing on the wavelength that will make its opponent the sleepiest. It also uses Attract to infatuate opponents who touch it. It uses a Moon Stone to evolve into Wigglytuff.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Jigglypuff (SSB4)
Jigglypuff, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. 4.

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 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Jigglypuff (SSBU)
Jigglypuff, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

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 GimR to consider moving it to a much higher tier, while players such as Mr.R believe the buffs are overrated and that it should remain as a low tier character.
