===Attacks=== | |||
Pound: Pound is an attack used by Jigglypuff in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the original, it is done by simply pressing the B Button, but in Melee, the player must tilt the Control Stick to the side, then press B. Jigglypuff will go on to slap forward the opponent weakly. Although it doesn't do very much damage, it is very useful when surrounded by enemies. It also works as a recovery move. Although Pound was originally the neutral B Button attack, it got replaced by Rollout, and became the Smash B move. In Super Smash Bros., Kirby was able to use Pound when he sucked up Jigglypuff. If Jigglypuff stood on the edge of the platform and used Pound, like many attacks, it would not fall off. However, Kirby, doing the same thing, would go forward off of the platform, for some reason. In Melee, he could only use Rollout. | |||
Pound is an actual move that Jigglypuff can use in the Pokémon series. However, it is not a very strong move. | |||
Roll Out: Rollout is one of Jigglypuff's special moves from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. One of its most powerful attacks, the Pokémon must charge up to perform it. The strength of the attack depends on the length of time it charges. To perform the attack, Jigglypuff spins around in place, gaining speed the longer it does so. When it is satisfied with the energy level, Jigglypuff launches itself in the direction it was spinning. Any player attacked is sent flying. However, if Jigglypuff makes no contact with another player, there is a chance that it will fly off the edge of the course for a Self-Destruct. If Kirby swallows Jigglypuff in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he'll be able to use Rollout. If Kirby does this, he will, instead of "Jigglypuff", say "Purin", which is its Japanese name. | |||
The move was added to Jigglypuff's arsenal for Super Smash Bros. Melee. While most other characters were given a new B→ attack, this attack replaced Jigglypuff's basic B Button move, Pound, from the original Super Smash Bros. Pound was assigned to B→. Rollout is also a move that Jigglypuff can learn in the Pokémon series. | |||
Sing: Sing is a move done by Jigglypuff in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is executed by pressing Up on the Control Stick, and pressing B soon after. It will then sing its name in a musical tone to put players to sleep. Players will be immobile while sleeping, and will be completely open to attacks for a few seconds until the effect wears off. However, it does not work for airborne enemies, leaving Jigglypuff open for attack. Additionally, sometimes the opponents will wake up the instant Jigglypuff finishes the attack. In other words, the less damage the sleeping targets have, the quicker it is for them to wake up. Sing does no damage, but is a good escape move, and if done correctly, leaves the victims open for attack. It's not very good for a recovery move, however. | |||
Sing originally was Jigglypuff's signature move in the Pokémon anime series. Additionally, other Pokémon can also learn the move in the games. | |||
Rest: Rest is a move used by Jigglypuff in the Super Smash Bros. games. It is executed by pressing down B. Jigglypuff will then fall asleep. If Jigglypuff is touching any characters while doing this move, the characters will be hit by a very powerful shock, sending them flying in the air. It almost always KOs opponents, no matter how healthy they are, but there are a few exceptions. It is hard to do, because the player must be touching the opposing players before it works, and if it fails, then Jigglypuff will fall asleep for a few seconds. Until Jiggypuff awakens, it will not be able to move. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, connecting the attack will cause a flower to grow on opponents' heads, which causes their damage to rise for a while. The attack is also noticeably weaker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as well. | |||
Rest is an actual move in the Pokémon series. However, it puts the user to sleep to recover HP, while in Super Smash Bros., it does not heal, it sends the opponent flying. | |||
Puff Up is Jigglypuff's Final Smash in the video game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl . Once Jigglypuff opens up a Smash Ball, it stands in one spot, and begins increasing in size. It continues growing for about five seconds, before it finally reaches the limit, and begins shrinking at a faster rate. Any opposing player that hits Jigglypuff while in this state bounces off of it, in a similar fashion to the Bumper. | |||
Jigglypuff's size during this Final Smash is gigantic - roughly 16 times its original diameter, or nearly the entire width of Final Destination. This allows Jigglypuff to cover most of the stage area, giving it a high chance of hitting an opposing player. However, it's not as effective on large stages. | |||
The distance an opponent flies apparently increases the larger Jigglypuff is, but it only causes damage if any contact is made with Jigglypuff as it is shrinking back to normal size. Jigglypuff is also unable to move around whilst using this move, so one should try and catch an opposing player close to an edge if using this Final Smash. | |||
A glitch in the Bridge of Eldin stage can allow the player to permanently play as Giant Jigglypuff after the Final Smash, but the effects wear off if Jigglypuff is knocked out. Furthermore, if Jigglypuff is captured by Yoshi's Egg Lay move during the glitch, it will increase in size exponentially every time it breaks out of the egg. At the "Pirate Ship" stage Jigglypuff can also remain large by releasing its final smash between the boulder floating in the water and between the bottom of the ship. Although Jigglypuff's size has been dramatically increased, it does not mean that Jigglypuff's base power has increased nor is it harder to KO. This means even though Jigglypuff is larger its overall smash stats do not increase. | |||
This is Jigglypuff's only move that isn't from the Pokémon games. | |||

Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin (プリン, Purin), in Germany as Pummeluff, and in France as Rondoudou, is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
It shares with Luigi the distinction of being an unlockable character in all three Smash Bros. games. Traditionally, it was the first secret character to be unlocked.
Creature description
Jigglypuff first appears as one of the 151 species of Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Blue, 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.
Jigglypuff is similar to Kirby in appearance, but with 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 smashers and others who have not played Pokémon to refer to Jigglypuff as "she". Within the Pokémon world, there are both male and female Jigglypuff, and females are more common than males, but the Smash character is always referred to as "it".
The 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.
In Super Smash Bros.
As a playable character
- Main article: Jigglypuff (SSB)
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 Kirby, it has a slightly better jump than Kirby. Jigglypuff is in the middle of the tier list.
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
As a playable character
- Main article: Jigglypuff (SSBM)
Jigglypuff returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the eleven secret characters. It is unlockable after clearing Classic or Adventure with any character, except Mario unless Dr. Mario is unlocked already. Jigglypuff is 1st on the tier list, tied with Fox and Falco. 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.
In Single-player
Jigglypuff appears on Classic Mode on any Pokémon stage and sometimes appears in a Doubles, Giant or a Team Match. In All-Star Mode Jigglypuff's stage is Poké Floats.
Trophies
Jigglypuff has three trophies in its name, just like all the other playable characters; the original trophy, the Smash Red trophy, and the Smash Blue trophy. Its original trophy reads as follows:
- 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, 09/98
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a playable character
- Main article: Jigglypuff (SSBB)
Jigglypuff appears once again in Brawl. Jigglypuff appears the same as before, but is more difficult to unlock previous installations of the series, considering it was the 33rd character introduced on the Dojo and the last veteran 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 35 out of 38 on the current tier list.
How to unlock
- Play 350 VS matches, then beat Jigglypuff in a match on Pokémon Stadium 2.
- Complete the Subspace Emissary, then beat 20 events in Event Mode. Afterwards, beat Jigglypuff in a match on Pokémon Stadium 2.
- Complete the Subspace Emissary, then return to The Swamp. On the last part of the level, where the player is shooting through barrels, stop on the platform below the new door. Go in and beat Jigglypuff. The player will then have completed the stage and unlocked Jigglypuff.

This is Jigglypuff's only move that isn't from the Pokémon games.
Trophy Description
- A Balloon Pokémon. It invites opponents in close with its big, round eyes, then puts them to sleep with a sleepy 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.
- Pokémon Red/Blue
- Pokémon Diamond/Pearl
Trivia
- Though some people think that Jigglypuff's appearance never changed through out the series, it has. Jigglypuff's arms are positioned more outward in Melee and the position changed back to what it was in the original game in Brawl. Also, in the original SSB, the light in Jigglypuff's eyes was in the opposite direction than in Melee and Brawl.
- If held too long, Jigglypuff's shield will break and fly vertically upwards, instantly giving the player a self-destruct. This occurs in all three Smash games, however, in some areas, it provides a favorable advantage (see shield jump).
