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 installments, with the exception of [[bulbapedia: Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']], but was added through an update alongside the Expansion Pass. 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 {{s|bulbapedia|Pokédex}} categorizes Jigglypuff at #039 as the "Balloon Pokémon".

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 because it cannot breathe.

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). 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 [[buff]]ed 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.

*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.

*Until ''SSB4'', Jigglypuff had green eyes, the same color as its {{s|bulbapedia|shiny}} coloration, instead of the normal blue color seen in its official artwork. This also matches the recurring Jigglypuff character from the anime.

*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. After its debut in ''SSB'', [[Rollout]] took the place of [[Pound]] as its neutral special (with Pound being relegated to being its side special) in ''Melee''. Rollout renders Jigglypuff helpless after usage in the air, though this property has been removed as of ''Brawl''.
