'''Pound''' is the name of [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[neutral special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and [[side special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is a short-range attack that sends Jigglypuff forward a short distance with its arm out in front of it to punch. Pound is very useful when [[Recovery|recovering]], as it can be used between [[Jump|jumps]] to give Jigglypuff more horizontal distance. This technique is required to beat [[Board the Platforms|Bonus 2]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Quickly pressing up after performing the Pound gains Jigglypuff a slight amount of vertical distance. This technique is known as the [[Rising Pound]]. One can also do a "falling Pound", by pressing down instead of up.

Although the Pound is mostly used for recovery and movement purposes, it can also be utilized as an effective attack. The Pound is a useful move that has a [[hitbox]] that stays out longer than one would expect, causing opponents to drop their guard too early at times. In certain situations, the Pound can also serve as a set-up for Jigglypuff's powerful [[Rest]] attack. Pound is also useful as an attack in ''Brawl'' due to its hitbox gaining the [[Shield damage|shield damage]] effect, causing it to deal heavy damage to an opponent's shield should they shield it.
