01Overview

Meet Jigglypuff

Everything you need to know about the Balloon Pokémon — the creature behind the number.

Meet Jigglypuff, the Balloon Pokémon: a round pink puffball with enormous eyes and the most dangerous lullaby in the Pokémon world. It sits in the middle of a small, sweet family – the baby Igglybuff grows into Jigglypuff once it is truly fond of its Trainer, and a Moon Stone turns Jigglypuff into the taller, fluffier Wigglytuff. For five generations it was a plain Normal type, until X and Y added the Fairy type in 2013.

There isn't much to Jigglypuff except air. Its body is practically a sphere, finished off with pointed, black-lined ears, stubby little arms, feet only a touch longer than those arms and a neat curl of fur on its forehead. Being so full of air, it can puff itself up to drift away like a balloon, or let it all out and lie flat as a pancake. Wild Jigglypuff are mostly found on lush plains and in grassy meadows.

“It captivates foes with its huge, round eyes, then lulls them to sleep by singing a soothing melody.”

Pokédex · Pokémon Red (Japan), Green (Japan), FireRed & X · 1996

Then there's the voice. A Jigglypuff first captivates its audience with its big, round, wavering eyes, then fills lungs that outclass almost any other Pokémon's and begins to sing. It can tune the wavelength of its voice to match the brain waves of a deep sleeper, so few listeners stay awake for long – and since it never stops for breath, a foe that refuses to nod off can leave it in real trouble. Its range tops 12 octaves, though how well any one Jigglypuff sings comes down to practice, and the songs change from region to region; some sound more like shouting. It is even said to keep singing in its sleep.

The anime turned that lullaby into one of its best running jokes. The recurring Jigglypuff that debuted in 'The Song of Jigglypuff' in 1998 only wants someone to hear its song to the end, but every audience dozes off – so it puffs up in fury and scribbles all over their faces with the marker pen it uses as a microphone. It trailed Ash and his friends through Kanto, the Orange Islands and Johto, turned up in Hoenn and, years later, came back during the Sun & Moon series.

Few Pokémon have been famous for quite so long. Jigglypuff starred on one of the first two Pokémon trading cards ever released, alongside Pikachu, and it has been a fighter in every Super Smash Bros. game since the very first. Fans love the contrast at its heart: a squishy, adorable pop idol with a short fuse and a song that can put a whole town to sleep. Scarlet even added a wild-haired Paradox Pokémon, Scream Tail, rumoured to be a Jigglypuff from the distant past.

How big is Jigglypuff?

Jigglypuff stands 0.5 m (1′08″) tall – roughly knee height on an adult – and at 5.5 kg (12.1 lb) it weighs about as much as a well-fed house cat, which is quite something for a Pokémon that's mostly air.

Jigglypuff's base stats have never changed: 115 HP, 45 Attack, 20 Defense, 45 Sp. Atk, 25 Sp. Def and 20 Speed, a total of 270. That enormous HP is its standout stat, while its defences are paper-thin. In Generation I it had a single Special stat of 25; when Gold and Silver split Special in two, Sp. Def stayed at 25 and Sp. Atk rose to 45, so the split was a straight upgrade. Its base experience yield was 76 in Generations I–IV and has been 95 since Generation V. Base friendship was 70 in Generations II–VII and has been 50 since Generation VIII. It belongs to the Fast growth group, reaching level 100 at 800,000 Exp., and yields 2 HP effort values. Cute Charm was its only Ability in Generations III–V; Friend Guard arrived as its Hidden Ability in Generation V, and Competitive became a second regular Ability in Generation VI.

Jigglypuff was a pure Normal type in Generations I–V. Back then its only weakness was Fighting, it had no resistances and Ghost-type moves couldn't touch it. Gaining the Fairy type in X and Y cancelled out the Fighting weakness, added weaknesses to Poison and Steel and resistances to Bug and Dark – and put Dragon-type moves alongside Ghost on its list of immunities.

Spin-offs & cameos

Super Smash Bros.

Jigglypuff is one of the original twelve fighters who have appeared in every Super Smash Bros. game – and surely the most unlikely of them. It owes its place to Kirby: the original game's secret fighters were built on the skeletons of existing characters, and in a 1999 interview Masahiro Sakurai explained that Jigglypuff – picked ahead of Clefairy – was the Pokémon that could share the pink puffball's. In that 1999 debut it was one of four secret characters, unlocked by clearing the 1P Game and then beating it on Saffron City; armed with Pound, Sing and Rest, it had no real recovery move, just a stack of midair jumps. Melee gave it Rollout, three trophies (plus one for Igglybuff, whose text points out its red eyes) and a fearsome reputation: Rest can KO at very low damage, and in the hands of players such as Mango and Hungrybox – the winner of EVO 2016 – the Balloon Pokémon became a tournament favourite, even though a broken shield sends it rocketing off the top of the screen. Brawl was far less kind to it, but it did bring its Final Smash, Puff Up, which inflates Jigglypuff to giant size and shoves everyone off the stage – 11 years before Dynamax made giant Pokémon a core-series idea – as well as a sticker and a nightcap costume borrowed from Sleep Kirby. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U made it a starter, gave Rest back much of its punch and added custom moves such as Hyper Voice, Spinphony and Wakie Wakie, plus a nurse's cap costume. In Ultimate, fighter no. 12 is the last of the original veterans, with an 'All Original, All 64' Classic Mode route against its fellow ever-presents and, uniquely among the Pokémon fighters, no Master Hand at the end; a white Jigglypuff and a nurse-capped one even stand in for Clefairy and Chansey in their spirit battles. Wigglytuff never fights and is only name-checked in Jigglypuff's trophy descriptions, while Rachael Lillis's original English voice clips have been kept in every game.

Pokémon GO

Jigglypuff has been bouncing around Pokémon GO since launch day, 6 July 2016, and in those early months it even hatched from 2 km Eggs – a job it handed to Igglybuff when the first Johto Pokémon hatched on 12 December 2016. Igglybuff needs 25 Candy to become Jigglypuff, and Jigglypuff needs 50 more to inflate into Wigglytuff; as a buddy it finds a Candy every kilometre. Its moves have been reshuffled more than once: Play Rough made way for Dazzling Gleam in August 2016 and Body Slam for Gyro Ball in February 2017 (both now Elite moves), and Swift joined Pound, Feint Attack and Disarming Voice on 3 June 2024. Shiny Jigglypuff finally arrived on 16 April 2019, when Eggstravaganza introduced shiny Igglybuff – hatch one, evolve it, and the shiny line is yours. It has also been a one-star raid boss, starred in a Spotlight Hour on 10 November 2020 and, on New Year's Day 2024, dressed up for the occasion: a ribbon-wearing Jigglypuff, with a matching Wigglytuff, debuted for the New Year's event and returned for Road to Sinnoh that February.

Resident

Listed as no. 152 in Pokopia's Pokédex, Jigglypuff is a Hype specialist that likes a bright habitat and loves soft, cute and – naturally – wobbly stuff, along with play spaces, healing and sweet flavours.

Moves

In Red and Green, Jigglypuff's routine was simple: sing the opponent to sleep, then follow up with Pound, Disable and DoubleSlap, take a quick Rest, and finish with a hefty Body Slam or Double-Edge. Gold and Silver gave it Rollout and a baby, Igglybuff, who brought Charm, Sweet Kiss and party-trick Egg Moves such as Perish Song and Present. Ruby and Sapphire added Mimic and the booming Hyper Voice, Diamond and Pearl threw in Wake-Up Slap, the perfect follow-up for a foe it has just sung to sleep, and Black and White taught it Round, a song best performed as a group.

X and Y made Jigglypuff part Fairy, bringing Disarming Voice and Dazzling Gleam, with Play Rough following in Let's Go and Sword and Shield. Sun and Moon added the Stockpile, Swallow and Spit Up trio, and since Sword and Shield, Igglybuff's moves have been folded into an eight-move starting set. Scarlet and Violet stretch the TM list to 77 moves, and Legends: Z-A redraws everything again with Draining Kiss, Wish, Perish Song and Moonblast. Through it all, Sing has been there from level 1.

Signature moves

NormalSing

The lullaby that made Jigglypuff a star: its very first move in Red and Blue, learned at level 1 in every game since, and TM111 in Legends: Z-A.

PsychicRest

The trademark nap: level 29 (and TM44) in Red and Blue, and still learned at 20 in Sword, Shield, Scarlet and Violet.

RockRollout

Joined at level 19 in Gold and Silver, right after Defense Curl at 4, and curling up first doubles its power. It became an Egg Move in Sword and Shield and is back at level 10 in Legends: Z-A.

NormalHyper Voice

A room-shaking shout added at level 44 in Ruby and Sapphire. It has been in every level-up list since, apart from Let's Go, and is also TR42 in Sword and Shield and TM117 in Scarlet and Violet.

FairyDisarming Voice

The Fairy-type cry that came with the new type in X and Y (level 11 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), and part of the starting set since Sword and Shield.

NormalPerish Song

A haunting Egg Move from Marill since Gold and Silver: everyone who hears it faints after three turns unless they switch out. Legends: Z-A finally teaches it by level, at 50.

NormalDouble-Edge

The big finish: the last level-up move in every main-series game from Red and Blue to Scarlet and Violet, from level 39 in Generation I to 44 today.

Complete learnsets

Generation I · Red, Green, Blue & Yellow8 level-up · 32 TM/HM

Jigglypuff turns up on Route 3 in Red, Green and Blue, while Yellow moves it to Routes 5, 6, 7 and 8. Its eight level-up moves are the same in all four games: it starts with its famous Sing, picks up Pound at 9, Disable, Defense Curl and DoubleSlap, and finishes with Rest, Body Slam and Double-Edge at 39. Jigglypuff is a pure Normal type in this era, so its Normal-type attacks get the same-type bonus, and every move's category is set by its type. The transfer list shows moves a Jigglypuff can learn in Gold, Silver or Crystal and still bring back to these games through the Time Capsule.

Generation II · Gold, Silver & Crystal9 level-up · 36 TM/HM · 3 egg · 3 tutor

In Gold, Silver and Crystal, Jigglypuff can be caught on routes in both Johto and Kanto. Rollout joins the level-up list at 19 and Defense Curl moves up to 4, a handy pairing because curling up first doubles Rollout's power. Igglybuff arrives as Jigglypuff's baby form, and breeding brings Egg Moves for the first time: Perish Song, Present and Faint Attack. Crystal's move tutor adds Flamethrower, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. Some moves can only be picked up as an Igglybuff: Charm and Sweet Kiss by level, Icy Wind from TM16, Dizzy Punch from Crystal's Odd Egg, and Mimic, Petal Dance and Scary Face from Pokémon Center events. Categories still follow type, Curse is ???-type and Hidden Power's category depends on the type it rolls.

Jigglypuff lives on Route 115 in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and is back on Route 3 in FireRed and LeafGreen. Mimic and the booming Hyper Voice join the level-up list, which now runs to 11 moves and ends with Double-Edge at 49. Fake Tears and Wish become Egg Moves, and the move tutors in FireRed and LeafGreen, Emerald and Pokémon XD teach 23 different moves between them, from Body Slam to ThunderPunch. An Igglybuff can still bring Charm and Sweet Kiss, plus Icy Wind from the Emerald and XD move tutors and Tickle from a PokéPark Egg event. Categories still follow type.

Diamond, Pearl and Platinum keep Jigglypuff in the Trophy Garden; HeartGold and SoulSilver bring it back to Routes 3 and 4 and add the Safari Zone and two Pokéwalker routes, Resort and Night Sky's Edge. This is the first generation in which every move has its own physical or special category, so Hyper Voice now hits as a special attack. Gyro Ball and Wake-Up Slap join the level-up list, and Covet, Gravity and Last Resort become Egg Moves. The move tutors in Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver teach 18 moves, and an Igglybuff can learn Uproar from them. The transfer list holds moves that only the Generation III games can teach, plus Tickle from the PokéPark Egg Igglybuff.

The level-up list is the same in all four games and adds Round at 17, a song that gets stronger when allies sing it in the same turn. Captivate, Covet and Punishment are among 11 Egg Moves, and the move tutors, found only in Black 2 and White 2, offer 22 moves, Hyper Voice and Stealth Rock included. An Igglybuff can learn Uproar from a Black 2 and White 2 tutor, and an Igglybuff from the Dream World in Black and White can arrive knowing Helping Hand.

The big change: from X and Y onwards Jigglypuff is Normal and Fairy, so its Fairy moves get the same-type bonus too, with Disarming Voice in the level-up list and Dazzling Gleam on TM99. In X and Y it lives on Route 20, in Pokémon Village and in the Fairy-type Friend Safari; Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire bring back Route 115. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire also reshuffle the level-up list, so there are two level columns: in X and Y Disarming Voice is a late move at 50, while Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire teach it at 11 and close the list with Double-Edge at 49. Heal Pulse and Misty Terrain join the Egg Moves. Secret Power (TM94) can only be taught in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which are also the only games here with move tutors.

Jigglypuff appears on Routes 4 and 6 by day in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. One level-up list covers all four games, and the stomach trio of Stockpile, Swallow and Spit Up arrives together at 25. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon add 26 tutor moves, Ally Switch and Telekinesis included, and an Igglybuff can learn Uproar from a tutor there. The transfer list grows to 30 moves that a Jigglypuff can only bring from older games, from Bubble Beam to Zap Cannon.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! · Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee!10 level-up · 31 TM/HM

Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! put Jigglypuff on Routes 5, 6, 7 and 8. Its list is short and old-school: ten level-up moves, with Bide at 10 and Double-Edge to finish at 28, plus 31 TMs including Dazzling Gleam and Play Rough. There is no breeding and no move tutor. Values are as in these games, so Solar Beam hits for 200 here.

Generation VIII · Sword & Shield (Version 1.2.0+ and Expansion Pass), Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl21 level-up · 98 TM/HM · 18 egg · 2 tutor

Jigglypuff was not in Sword and Shield at launch: it became available with Version 1.2.0, the update released alongside The Isle of Armor. Without the Expansion Pass it can only be traded in; The Isle of Armor puts it on the Fields of Honor and Challenge Beach and in Max Raid Battles, and The Crown Tundra adds it to Dynamax Adventures. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl return it to the Trophy Garden. One level-up list covers both pairs: Igglybuff's Charm, Sweet Kiss and Copycat are folded into an eight-move starting set, so Igglybuff no longer has moves of its own to pass on, and Play Rough arrives at 40. Rollout, once a level-up move, is now an Egg Move. TM, TR and Egg Move rows are tagged SwSh or BDSP, and the Expansion Pass move tutor teaches Misty Explosion and Steel Roller. Many older moves, such as Double Slap, Wake-Up Slap and Feint Attack, can come along from earlier games but cannot be used in Sword and Shield. Jigglypuff does not appear in Legends: Arceus.

Jigglypuff joined Legends: Z-A with Version 2.0.0: it can be traded in, and the Mega Dimension expansion adds it to the 3★ and 4★ Fairy-type wild zones of Hyperspace Lumiose. Moves here have no PP or accuracy: each has the level at which it is learned, a level at which it becomes a Plus Move, its power and a cooldown. The level-up list is rebuilt from scratch: Tackle replaces Pound, Draining Kiss and Confusion arrive early, the old Egg Moves Wish and Perish Song are now learned by level, and Moonblast closes the list at 53. Sing is also TM111. There is no breeding or tutoring. Values are as in this game, so Rollout has 60 power and Tri Attack 40.

Jigglypuff in the anime

Debut EP045The Song of Jigglypuff · Its appearances on screen, and 4 other trainers who raised one.

No Pokémon has followed Ash quite like Jigglypuff. From The Song of Jigglypuff (EP045) onwards, a single wild Jigglypuff trailed his group across Kanto, the Orange Islands and Johto, turned up in Hoenn's Trick House (AG039) and, after a long break, came back for Ash's Alolan years before bowing out in Pokémon Journeys (JN136). Its routine is one of the anime's great running gags: it sings, everyone falls asleep, and it puffs up with fury and scribbles on every face with the marker it uses as a microphone. That lullaby has also stopped a gluttonous Snorlax so Ash could catch it (EP094), sent three Onix to sleep in their tunnel (EP149) and called up a giant Jigglypuff from an ancient bell (EP072).

Ash never caught one, but plenty of others have found a Jigglypuff worth keeping. A Rollout-happy wild one moved in with little Lisa and her dad in Rough, Tough Jigglypuff (AG138), the Coordinator Ursula spun hers through a Daybreak Contest routine with Gabite (DP161), and in The Legend of Thunder! Marina's Jigglypuff, Pink, took on Jimmy's Beedrill. Add a Poké Puff-tasting judge in Kalos, the battle that made Ash's Charmander evolve in I Choose You! and a POKÉTOON short all of its own, and Jigglypuff's anime life is far bigger than its balloon-sized frame suggests.

First seen: EP045The Song of Jigglypuff
Now: Still wild, still looking for an audience that stays awake, and currently in Kanto

Jigglypuff's career began with a song that would not come out. In the forest outside Neon Town (EP045), Misty tried to catch it, with Psyduck popping out by mistake before Staryu landed a Double-Edge. When the little Balloon Pokémon burst into tears, she hugged it, discovered that it could not sing and decided to coach it instead. Breathing lessons, a balloon trick that sent it soaring and a throat-soothing fruit from Brock did the job, and its first proper song knocked out Ash's group, their Pokémon and Team Rocket, who had hoped to record it. Psyduck seemed to pass the test, until it turned out to be asleep with its eyes open.

That was the night the marker came out. Waking up to a field of snoozing faces, Jigglypuff puffed up in fury, pulled a black marker from Ash's backpack and scribbled on everyone, the start of a gag that would run for more than two decades. Brock then suggested a concert for the sleepless, grumpy people of Neon Town, Team Rocket lent their stage truck while posing as rock stars, and Jigglypuff sang the entire town to sleep before decorating its faces too. Neon Town woke up rested and friendlier, and as Ash's group left, a small pink figure set off after them.

From then on Jigglypuff was the group's shadow. At Grampa Canyon, Misty actually asked it to sing the rampaging Aerodactyl to sleep, and it obliged so thoroughly that the whole canyon dozed off; Charizard covered its ears long enough to catch a sleeping Ash, and Officer Jenny later insisted the whole thing had been a dream (EP046). On Cinnabar Island it took the stage in Gary's hotel room, flooring him and his cheerleaders while Ash's group fled (EP058), and Ash had to stop it mid-song while the volcano erupted (EP059). Next it turned up stuck in one of a Blastoise's water cannons. Ash's Squirtle carried it back to the island after Team Rocket's submarine exploded, and Jigglypuff said thank you by singing everyone to sleep and doodling on faces and shells alike (EP060).

Its most heroic Kanto outing came in Clefairy Tales (EP062). A gang of space Clefairy had pinched its microphone marker, so Jigglypuff charged into their ship, beat them with Pound and Double Slap and took on their leader in the cockpit. When the alien-hunter Oswald yanked a lever that snapped off and turned out to be the missing marker, Jigglypuff snatched it back and sang the whole ship to sleep. It also wandered into a film audition just as the director called for singers (EP069), and in Pokémopolis its song made an ancient bell glow and called up a giant Jigglypuff, whose colossal lullaby and colossal paintbrush dealt with a giant Gengar and Alakazam (EP072). The little one, knocked flying by the giants, blasted off in Team Rocket's place.

A microphone-shaped lever carried it to the Orange Islands. As Team Rocket bundled Ash's group onto a broken-down blimp, Jigglypuff hopped up to sing into the lever, dumped the ballast water and was carried into the sky with its foot tangled in a rope (EP082). It spent the flight 'haunting' the blimp under a white sheet and ended it by singing Team Rocket off their makeshift parachute and into the sea. On Team Rocket's next blimp it sang Ash and Misty to sleep in a cage, then floated out of the hatch with the villains (EP083), and it beat Ash to the punch with a lullaby for a stubborn Lapras, sending Tracey to sleep on their very first meeting and ruining his sketch (EP084).

The islands were full of near misses. Team Rocket briefly took it for one of Pinkan Island's special pink Pokémon, until they remembered that every Jigglypuff is pink (EP088), and a pink shape rising from the sea turned out to be Jigglypuff rather than a Gyarados (EP092). For once, though, Ash went looking for it. With a Snorlax eating its way through the Seven Grapefruit Islands, the gang built Jigglypuff a stage, complete with signs and a fresh set of coloured markers, and when it sang, Ash and Pikachu stayed awake just long enough for a Thunder and a Poké Ball (EP094). The new markers went straight onto everyone's faces. It burst out of a fruit pile to ruin a day off (EP098), sneaked aboard the ferry home to Kanto (EP114) and was carried away with Team Rocket's circus tent when they tried to trap Professor Oak's laboratory (EP115).

In Johto it slid merrily down a hill after the group tumbled down it (EP117) and trailed them to the Onix Tunnel, where Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull ran off with its microphone (EP149). Hunting for it, Jigglypuff fell into three pitfall traps, with Ash's Bulbasaur hauling it out each time, and briefly teamed up with a lonely Meowth before Snubbull chomped on its tail. Once it had its microphone back, it sang three Onix to sleep so the group could slip through. They later found it frozen solid on the way to Snowtop Mountain (EP189): Cyndaquil thawed it out, it Double Slapped the pushy photographer Todd, pointed the way to Articuno and was blown off by a Blizzard, before serenading Team Rocket in a cave whose echo made the song even stronger.

There was no escaping it anywhere. When Team Rocket kept flinging its microphone away inside a power plant, Jigglypuff retrieved it to sing the Magnemite, Magneton and Electrode to sleep, then gave Brock a fresh pair of drawn-on eyes and eyelashes (EP199). It perched on the wing of Wings Alexander's plane and dozed off everyone aboard (EP223). Then jealousy took over. On the road to Blackthorn City it gatecrashed Brittany's concert rehearsal, envied the praise heaped on her two Igglybuff and kicked them when no one was looking (EP243). Team Rocket bagged it along with the Igglybuff and left it tied to a tree with its mouth taped shut, but once freed it waded back in with Double Slap, and its closing solo put everyone to sleep, even the narrator.

Jigglypuff followed Ash to Hoenn only once. In the Trick House it trailed Alanna through the mazes, singing Ash's group to sleep along the way, until it met the listener it had always wanted: Alanna's Whismur, whose Soundproof Ability kept it awake for the whole song. Jigglypuff was so thrilled that it danced with it. At the grand finale, though, Whismur nodded off as well, worn out from an earlier battle, and Jigglypuff marked every face in the crowd and stormed off (AG039). It was Rachael Lillis's last performance in the role, and its last TV appearance until Alola, Kanto! (SM042).

Jigglypuff came back when Ash's Alolan classmates visited Kanto (SM042). Mallow, Lillie and Lana were thrilled to meet their first Jigglypuff; Ash, Pikachu, Brock and Misty knew exactly what was coming, and everyone woke at dusk laughing at each other's doodled faces. It stowed away on the plane to Alola (SM043), where one of Nebby's runaway Teleports dropped Ash right in front of it (SM045), and it met its match at the Pokémon School (SM056): Samson Oak's always-dozing Komala kept dodging the marker in its sleep, learned the song itself, and finally drew on Jigglypuff, which saw its reflection and burst out laughing. After singing Grandpa Forest the Drampa to sleep (SM096) and sneaking aboard Ash's plane home (SM146), it made its final appearance in This Could be the Start of Something Big! (JN136).

Personality

Jigglypuff is a diva in a very small package: sassy, hungry for attention and convinced that its lullaby deserves a wide-awake audience. It never gets one, because its song sends every listener to dreamland, and the moment it hears snoring it puffs up with rage and scribbles over their faces. Its temper runs hot. It sneakily kicked Pikachu for trying to sing along (EP045), bullied Brittany's two Igglybuff out of jealousy (EP243) and turned a budding 'Dream Team' with Meowth into a three-way scuffle with Snubbull (EP149). Yet it melts for anyone who truly listens: when Alanna's Soundproof Whismur stayed awake for a whole song, Jigglypuff was so delighted that it danced with it (AG039).

Jigglypuff

First seen: AG138Rough, Tough Jigglypuff

Mitch, a former company executive and professional Pokéblock taster, gave up his job and spent six months trying to catch a Jigglypuff, the only thing his daughter Lisa wanted for her fifth birthday (AG138). This one was a handful: Cute Charm left his Loudred infatuated, it scorched Team Rocket with Flamethrower, bowled Pikachu over twice with Rollout and kept singing everyone except the Soundproof Loudred to sleep. When Max's plan trapped it in a cabin lined with sound-reflecting panels, its own Sing bounced back and sent it to sleep along with everyone else, and Mitch decided it belonged in the wild. But the Jigglypuff turned up at his home in a huff because he had stopped chasing it, Lisa was overjoyed, and it happily accepted Mitch's invitation to join the family, celebrating with a duet with Lisa that put everyone to sleep.

Ursula's Jigglypuff

First seen: DP161Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!

Ursula, the Coordinator who wrote off Dawn's Wallace Cup win as a fluke, brought out her Jigglypuff for one dazzling routine at the Daybreak Contest (DP161). Partnered with Gabite in a Double Performance, it rolled across the stage with Rollout under Gabite's direction, was flung skyward by Iron Tail, shattered Gabite's Stone Edge into glitter with Hyper Voice and clashed its Gyro Ball against Sand Tomb in a burst of light, before finishing balanced on Gabite's claw. The appeal carried Ursula into the battle rounds, where she switched to other Pokémon and reached the final before losing to Dawn.

Marina's Jigglypuff
Marina
Coordinator and would-be Pokémon Idol (The Legend of Thunder!)
Jigglypuff (nicknamed Pink)

First seen: The Legend of Thunder!

Marina from New Bark Town dreams of being a Pokémon Idol, so naturally her team includes a Jigglypuff, nicknamed Pink. When Jimmy scoffed that training and stardom don't mix, she challenged him to a two-on-two battle and led with Pink (The Legend of Thunder!, a TV special later dubbed as the first three episodes of Pokémon Chronicles). Sing got nowhere because the beating of Beedrill's wings scattered the sound, and although Pink puffed itself up and floated clear of Twineedle, putting its dance lessons to good use, a Pin Missile knocked it out. Marina went on to become a Top Coordinator, and a video of her Double Performance with Pink and her Feraligatr, Wani-Wani, appears in A Stand-Up Sit-Down! (DP041).

Ash & Jigglypuff

Ash has never caught a Jigglypuff, yet no Pokémon has spent longer on his heels: the recurring Jigglypuff trailed him from Kanto to Alola, and its song even stopped a gluttonous Snorlax long enough for him to catch it (EP094). In the TV series, his only real battle against one came in Rough, Tough Jigglypuff, when Pikachu and Mitch's Loudred tried to wear down a Rollout-happy wild Jigglypuff and ended up asleep alongside it (AG138). On the big screen, his Charmander evolved into Charmeleon while battling a Trainer's Jigglypuff in I Choose You! (M20).

Anime trivia

  • Jigglypuff vanished from the anime between A Poké-BLOCK Party! (AG039) and Alola, Kanto! (SM042), and came back with a new English voice: Rachael Lillis, who also voiced Misty and Jessie, played it until AG039, Michele Knotz took over from SM042, and Mika Kanai has voiced it in Japanese throughout.
  • Two 56th episodes share one joke. In The Ultimate Test (EP056), a Jigglypuff seen from above stumps Ash, Jessie and James, and the Japanese Who's That Pokémon? of Let Sleeping Pokémon Lie! (SM056) answers it by showing Jigglypuff from below.
  • Jigglypuff's song is strong enough to knock out the narrator. It happened for the first time in Same Old Song and Dance (EP243), and again with Lisa's Jigglypuff in Rough, Tough Jigglypuff (AG138).
  • In The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis (EP072), it was Jigglypuff rather than Team Rocket who blasted off, after the giant Gengar knocked the giant Alakazam into it.
  • Its lullaby echoes around the anime: Swablu's song in True Blue Swablu (AG064) shares its melody, and in the Pikachu shorts a Marill (from Pikachu's Exploration Club, PK18) and a Minccino (Pikachu's Summer Bridge Story, PK22) puff up in fury after singing their audiences to sleep, a direct parody of Jigglypuff.
  • In Caterpie's Big Dilemma (AG142), Dr. Gordon sings into a karaoke microphone topped with a little Jigglypuff figure holding its own tiny marker, and promptly sends himself to sleep.
  • The English dub of The Johto Journeys turned Jigglypuff's lullaby into 'Song of Jigglypuff', a Pokémon Karaokémon sing-along shown at the end of several episodes, Tunnel Vision (EP149) among them.
  • A Poké Problem in Let Sleeping Pokémon Lie! (SM056) asked which Pokémon becomes Komala's greatest rival. The answer, of course, was Jigglypuff.

“Jigglypuff, a Balloon Pokémon. It has large friendly eyes and it sings a pleasant song.”

05On the big screen

Jigglypuff in the movies

6 films, 2 Pikachu shorts and 2 specials featuring Jigglypuff.

On the big screen Jigglypuff is mostly a scene-stealer in small roles. The anime's own Jigglypuff slips into the intros of Celebi: The Voice of the Forest and Pokémon Heroes, and into Japan's extended cut of Mewtwo Strikes Back. Its two best film moments are recent. In I Choose You!, a battle with a Jigglypuff is what makes Ash's Charmander evolve, and in Detective Pikachu a Jigglypuff in a café sings the anime's lullaby in Rachael Lillis's original voice. Even where it doesn't appear, its song does: a music box in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew plays the tune. On TV, Marina's Pink battles in The Legend of Thunder!, and in 2021 the POKÉTOON short Jigglypuff's Song finally gave the species a starring role.

The anime's recurring Jigglypuff (Kanzenban intro only); Neesha's Wigglytuff and a cloned Wigglytuff

Jigglypuff missed the cinema cut of the very first film, but it sneaked into the extended Kanzenban version shown on Japanese TV from July 1999. That cut adds a five-minute intro, 'Satoshi's Journey', that looks back at the start of Ash's adventure, and the anime's own Jigglypuff appears in it. In the film itself the family is represented by Wigglytuff: Neesha's, plus the copy Mewtwo clones from it.

The TV series' wandering songstress makes a quick cameo in the opening sequence, a small guest spot before the time-travelling story with Celebi gets under way. It is the anime Jigglypuff's first cameo in a cinema release.

The film retells Ash's first journey and changes one well-known moment. On TV, Ash's Charmander evolved while fending off a stampede of Exeggutor. Here it becomes Charmeleon after a battle with a Trainer's Jigglypuff. An Igglybuff also appears.

Four Jigglypuff, including a café singer

Four Jigglypuff appear in the live-action film, and one of them gets a great little scene in the café where Tim and Pikachu go looking for leads. Holding a microphone that doubles as a marker pen, a nod to the anime's doodling diva, it sings the anime's lullaby, and by the time Tim walks in it seems to have sent a customer to sleep already. The voice is Rachael Lillis's original English recording.

Pikachu shorts

  • PK24Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade (2012) · The anime's recurring Jigglypuff
    For once the anime's Jigglypuff is in the audience: it's one of the guests at Meloetta's night-time concert on the plateaus, along with the Pichu Brothers, the Spiky-eared Pichu and Ash's Pignite. It also appears in the short's version of the ending song, Look Look☆Here. Shown with Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice.
  • PT08Jigglypuff's Song (POKÉTOON) (2021) · Peaches's Jigglypuff; Alba's Jigglypuff; a chorus of wild Jigglypuff
    Jigglypuff finally gets a short all to itself, and it's the only species in it. Peaches found her scruffy, spiky-haired Jigglypuff crying under a tree in the park, and now the two are practically family, yet it runs off whenever anyone asks it to sing. Once, when it joined in with a chorus of wild Jigglypuff, its strange voice frightened them, and it ran off in tears. When show-off Alba, whose own Jigglypuff is a polished singer, sneers that it won't sing because it doesn't love Peaches, it sings out proudly at last. The ending is pure Jigglypuff: it now sings every day, and its listeners keep falling asleep.

TV specials

  • The Legend of Thunder! (2001)
    Marina, who dreams of being a Pokémon Idol, opens a two-on-two battle with her friend Jimmy by sending out Pink, her green-eyed Jigglypuff. Beedrill's buzzing wings block out Pink's Sing, and although its dance lessons help it puff up and float clear of Twineedle, a Pin Missile ends the round. The English dub replaced all of the special's music except three seconds of Jigglypuff's song.
  • "A Ripple in Time" by Pokémon × Daniel Arsham (2022)
    Artist Daniel Arsham's animated short puts Ash and Pikachu in a stadium battle against Arsham and his Cubone, until Celebi throws them forward into an overgrown future full of crystallised Pokémon. The short is packed with cameos, from Misty and Brock to Cynthia and Ritchie, and the anime's own Jigglypuff is among them.

Jigglypuff in the Pokémon TCG

72 cards since 1999, oldest first. Tap any card to see it full size.

Jigglypuff's first decade in the card game is one long lullaby. Kagemaru Himeno's Jungle card made its English booster debut in June 1999, putting rivals to sleep for a single Energy, and that November its true first card followed: Keiji Kinebuchi's First Aid and Double-edge promo, given away in Japan with CoroCoro Comic back in 1996 and now offered through the soundtrack of Pokémon: The First Movie. From then on the balloon Pokémon stayed a Colorless Basic, nearly always a humble Common, but its ways of making opponents doze kept multiplying: Sing in Southern Islands, a Lullaby that bites in Skyridge, a Sleepy Song that lulls every Defending Pokémon in EX Hidden Legends, Sleep Inducer, Hypnoblast and Hypnotic Gaze, plus a Rest that patches it up before it nods off. Erika showed its kinder side in Gym Challenge, Expand turned its famous puffing-up into a damage shield, and the artwork found room for scenery, from a Southern Islands field of flowers that joins up with Ledyba and Butterfree to Atsuko Nishida's Whirl Islands backdrop in HeartGold & SoulSilver. Japan added a Challenge Hiroba holo in 2009, and through all of it Jigglypuff stayed Colorless: its Fairy makeover was still a few years away.

From 2011 onwards Jigglypuff turned into one of the card game's most reliable supporting acts, and its cards double as a history of the game's type chart. It opened the era as the same Colorless sleepy-head as ever, singing and slapping on Next Destinies, then turned Fairy type with XY in 2014 and stayed that way all through the Sun & Moon years, from Ken Sugimori's Lost Thunder illustration to the fluffy, photo-real movie star of Detective Pikachu. When the Fairy type was retired in Sword & Shield it simply switched to Psychic, before going back to Colorless with 151, landing its first Shiny card in Paldean Fates and kicking off its Mega Evolution-era run in Phantasmal Flames. Along the way it shared a TAG TEAM with Mega Lopunny, popped up in Happy Meals and a Build-A-Bear Workshop promotion, and became a regular in Pokémon TCG Pocket, where some of its best-loved artworks got a second life.

Jigglypuff in manga, books & other media

From the earliest manga to story books and songs.

Jigglypuff's best stories off the TV screen are about its singing. In comics it has been everything from a party trick to a heroine. Green's Jiggly in Pokémon Adventures carries her about like a hot-air balloon, and Magical Pokémon Journey turns Jigglypuff into a spoilt princess whose cooking can floor a room. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu it sings a Snorlax to sleep, and in an American newspaper strip it lives with Ash and writes its own songs. On the bookshelf, Jigglypuff's Magic Lullaby, written by Jessie's Japanese voice actress Megumi Hayashibara, gives it a story of its own, and Scholastic's chapter books and readers keep bringing it back as a lullaby singer, a face-doodler and even a balloon that floats Ash to safety. Its lullaby also became a full-length song, Song of Jigglypuff on the Totally Pokémon CD. The stage musical Pokémon Live! included the face-doodling routine, and Jigglypuff has flown on Pokémon Jets since 1998.

Jigglypuff trivia

Name origins, design secrets and the facts that make Jigglypuff such a fan favourite.

What’s in a name?

'Jigglypuff' says exactly what it is: 'jiggly', for that soft, wobbling body, plus 'puff' – a burst of air, or swelling up, which is just what it does when it sings or sulks. Its Japanese name, プリン (Purin), is the word for custard pudding, the wobbly crème caramel that is a favourite treat in Japan. It may also echo puripuri, meaning huffy or cross – a fair description of its temper – as well as puchi (petite) and the English 'pretty'. The pudding theme runs deep: while Red and Green were being made, its English name was going to be 'Pudding', and in Mandarin it is 胖丁 (Pàngdīng), which blends the words for 'fat' and 'pudding'. France calls it Rondoudou – round, soft and named after a caramel sweet – while in Germany it is Pummeluff, a chubby little ball of fluff.

Design origins

At heart, Jigglypuff is a balloon: a round, air-filled body that it can inflate and deflate at will. Its soft fur and soothing songs suggest the musical plush toys that sing small children to sleep, while its squashy round shape recalls a powder puff – or a cream puff. Its pink, rubbery look, and the fact that it can learn Bounce, could just as easily make it a bouncing rubber ball. A lunar thread runs through the family too: Wigglytuff's long rabbit-like ears may nod to the Moon rabbit of East Asian folklore, which suits a line that evolves with a Moon Stone and later gained the Fairy type. Artists haven't always agreed on the details, either – Ken Sugimori's artwork and the Super Smash Bros. games usually give Jigglypuff green eyes and a paler tea-rose pink, much closer to its Shiny colouring than the blue-eyed look it usually has in the games.

  1. Counting expansions, Jigglypuff can be caught in the wild in more core series games than any other Pokémon. Legends: Arceus is the only one where you won't find it.
  2. Jigglypuff and Pikachu were the first Pokémon cards ever released: a pair of promos given away with CoroCoro Comic on 15 October 1996, five days before the first booster packs went on sale.
  3. The English version of that historic card, Black Star Promo #7, came with early copies of the Pokémon: The First Movie soundtrack in 1999 – in North America through a mail-in offer.
  4. Jigglypuff and Igglybuff are the only Pokémon with a catch rate of exactly 170.
  5. The Balloon Pokémon club is a small one: only the Jigglypuff family, Qwilfish and Drifloon share the category.
  6. While Red and Green were in development, Jigglypuff's English name was going to be 'Pudding' – a straight translation of its Japanese name, Purin.
  7. The opening of Pokémon Blue shows Gengar battling a Jigglypuff – but thanks to an oversight, Jigglypuff is purple instead of pink, probably a leftover from the purple Nidorino Gengar fights in the original Red and Green.
  8. Jigglypuff caught in Red, Blue or Yellow arrive in Gold, Silver or Crystal holding a Polkadot Bow, an item that powers up Normal-type moves.
  9. Ultra Sun's Pokédex reveals that recordings of Jigglypuff lullabies are sold in department stores – look for the CDs near the bedding.
  10. According to Moon's Pokédex, Jigglypuff have a vocal range of more than 12 octaves, but each one's singing skill comes down to its own effort.
  11. Sapphire's Pokédex warns that Jigglypuff never stop to breathe while singing, so an opponent that refuses to fall asleep can put its life in danger.
  12. Scarlet's Paradox Pokémon Scream Tail is rumoured to be a Jigglypuff from a billion years ago. One version of Professor Sada calls it Jigglypuff's ancestor; another calls it a counterpart from a parallel timeline.
  13. Pokémon Sleep notes that Jigglypuff carry on singing even while they are fast asleep.
  14. The English dub's 'Who's That Pokémon?' in 'The Song of Jigglypuff' showed it with green eyes – at the time, a feature of Shiny Jigglypuff.
  15. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Green's Jigglypuff, Jiggly, makes its debut as an emergency balloon, floating Red and Green away from a rampaging Tauros.
  16. Its names read like a dessert menu: Purin is Japanese for custard pudding, the Mandarin 胖丁 means 'fat pudding', and the French Rondoudou echoes roudoudou, a caramel sweet.
  17. The anime's singing Jigglypuff is voiced by Mika Kanai in Japanese; in English it was Rachael Lillis, and Michele Knotz since the Sun & Moon series.
