Jigglypuff (プリン, Purin) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. It was first confirmed by a leaker's Twitch stream, was later leaked again in an official Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshot on the official website, was shown several times throughout the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Nintendo Direct, shown in some pictures of the day, and was finally officially confirmed on November 5, 2014. It is also featured in the opening movie.

Jigglypuff is once again voiced by Rachel Lillis with the same voice clips from earlier installments.

How to unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Collect 30 different equipment items.
• Play 120 VS Matches.

Jigglypuff must then be defeated on Unova Pokémon League.

Jigglypuff does not need to be unlocked in the Wii U version.

Changes from Brawl

Being considered one of the worst characters in Brawl, Jigglypuff has been significantly buffed to become a more balanced character. Jigglypuff is not quite back to its strength from Melee, but is considered to be closer to its strength from Smash 64. Generally, its attacks now have more utility and less lag. Despite still being able to jump 6 times, Jigglypuff's recovery potential was nerfed. To compensate, however, some attacks were given more KOing power, such as its Back Aerial.

Aesthetics

Its appearance, much like the other returning playable Pokémon, has been updated to match recent appearances, notably Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. It is, like most other characters, more expressive than in previous iterations. It has brighter, more cyan colored eyes, which are also much smaller than in previous iterations and farther apart from each other, and a wider, higher-positioned mouth.

Attributes

• Jigglypuff's mouth is now closed and smiling, instead of being open as in previous games.
• The increase in shield damage in most characters' attacks makes it easier for Jigglypuff's shield to break, therefore instantly KOing it, and worsening its defense.

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack and up tilt have been sped up.
• Up tilt and forward tilt do 1% more damage.
• Dash attack has less ending lag and is stronger.
• Forward smash deals less damage.
• Up smash is stronger and deals more knockback.

Aerial attacks

• Forward air and down air deal less damage.
• Neutral air, back aerial, and back throw deal 1% more damage and have more knockback.
• Up air has more reach.
• Back aerial is drastically more powerful to the point where it can reliably KO under 120%.
• Due to back air's increased power, it loses some of its Wall of pain ability.

Throws/other attacks

• Jigglypuff now uses its other arm to pummel, instead of its hair curl.
• Dash grab has less ending lag.
• Forward throw deals 1% more damage and has slightly less endlag.
• Down throw and up throw do more damage.

Special moves

• Rollout deals much less damage and knockback and Jigglypuff can no longer move in midair after striking an opponent.
• Pound deals more shield damage.
• Pound has lost some of its momentum, reducing its horizontal recovery capabilities.
• Due to the changes in hitstun mechanics, Jigglypuff can now perform true combos into Rest, greatly improving its utility once again. Rest is also stronger, deals 5% more damage and has a larger hitbox, improving its utility even more.
• Puff Up now makes Jigglypuff grow so much, it almost envelops the whole stage.
• Puff Up also now makes the stage shake.
• Jigglypuff's eyes now continue to glow yellow from the Final Smash effect when performing Puff Up.

Jigglypuff

This Normal/Fairy-type Pokémon is best known for its soothing singing, which can put foes to sleep. In Smash Bros., it fights best in the air and can even jump six times in a row. The downside, though, is that Jigglypuff's so light, most opponents could launch it in their sleep!

Jigglypuff (Alt.)

Jigglypuff's down special Rest sends this Pokémon into a deep sleep that damages and launches any foe it's touching upon napping. They'll even take damage after being hit! It's a pretty challenging move to land, though, and it leaves Jigglypuff wide open to revenge. Be careful when you use it.

Trivia

• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the first Smash game where Jigglypuff is a starter character.
  • As a result, Jigglypuff had appeared in various official screenshots and videos without acknowledgement before its official reveal.
  • That being said, Jigglypuff, Ness and Ganondorf are the only veterans to be both starters and an unlockables in Smash 4
• Xander Mobus, the announcer of Super Smash Bros. 4, has stated in an interview that he found Jigglypuff's Japanese name "Purin" the hardest name to pronounce, owing to the difficulty of properly pronouncing the "r" in it.
• Jigglypuff was the last character overall to be fully confirmed on the Smash 4 website.
• Super Smash Bros. 4 is the only Smash Bros. game to not have Jigglypuff fully face the screen in its official art.
• In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, while Jigglypuff's textures are completely unique, the actual 3D model is extremely similar to the model used in Pokémon X and Y. This likely means its model is based on said model.[1]
