Jigglypuff
Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン Purin) is a dual-type Normal/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon series. Before Generation VI, Jigglypuff was classified solely as a Normal-type Pokémon. This character is well-known for its distinctive spherical shape, pink color, and large blue eyes. Jigglypuff evolves from Igglybuff when leveled up with high friendship and can further evolve into Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is believed that the Paradox Pokémon Scream Tail is an ancient relative of Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff’s backstory includes its evolutionary line, starting as Igglybuff, a small Pokémon that needs to build a strong bond with its trainer to evolve. Once it evolves into Jigglypuff, it retains its charming and cute appearance but gains the unique ability to sing lullabies that can put opponents to sleep. This ability makes Jigglypuff a fascinating and strategic addition to any trainer’s team. The lore around Jigglypuff is enriched with the ancient connection to Scream Tail, suggesting a long lineage that spans over a billion years.
In the Pokémon world, Jigglypuff holds a special place due to its singing ability, which is often utilized in battles to incapacitate opponents by putting them to sleep. This makes Jigglypuff a valuable Pokémon for trainers looking to gain an advantage in battles. Additionally, Jigglypuff has appeared in various Pokémon media, including games, anime, and merchandise, making it one of the more recognizable Pokémon characters. Its role in the Super Smash Bros. series has also cemented its popularity among fans.
Jigglypuff is characterized by its pink, balloon-like body that can inflate and deflate at will. Its large, expressive eyes can mesmerize opponents, and its singing ability is its most distinctive trait. Jigglypuff can sing lullabies that induce sleep in anyone who hears them, adjusting the wavelength of its voice to match the brain waves of those in deep sleep. This ability, combined with its capacity to inflate its body, allows Jigglypuff to float in the air. Known for its wide vocal range, Jigglypuff's song varies by region, with some variations sounding more like shouting. Jigglypuff typically inhabits lush green plains and grassy meadows, adding to its serene and gentle nature.
