Jigglypuff’s History

Hello Smashers, Today we’ll talk about the round pink ball pokemon which has appeared in all Super Smash Brothers games, Jigglypuff!

Since the pokemon franchise’s history has already been covered we’ll talk about Jigglypuff’s appearances through history.

Jigglypuff is one of the 493 species of Pokémon creatures from Pokémon. Jigglypuff is among one of the most recognizable Pokémon, due to its singing and pink, fat, squirrel-like appearance being considered very cute. The name Jigglypuff is a portmanteau of the words jiggly, referring to its motion, and puff, referring to its buoyancy.

Awww, isn’t she cute?
Its body is globular, pink, fluffy, cuddly, and accented with stubby appendages, a tiny tuft of a single curl of hair, and enormous blue eyes, featuring green eyes for its alternate color version. Its skin is rubbery and stretchy. Jigglypuff can inflate its body like a balloon, or flatten its body, much like fellow Nintendo character Kirby. An exact limit to the size it can grow to in this manner is unknown. Jigglypuff evolves from Igglybuff with a high level of friendship, and to Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Jigglypuff’s song puts its listener to sleep. The song’s sound waves match the brain waves of something that is asleep, and anything within earshot will be affected unless protected by an innate ability (such as Insomnia or Soundproof) or interference from additional sounds. Jigglypuff can easily adjust the wavelength of its voice, without pausing to take a breath. If the target shows no sign of sleepiness, there is a possibility it will not stop singing.

Here we see Jigglypuff sleeping peacefully

Jigglypuff can be found in all of the Pokémon video games, as well as Pokémon Snap, which makes an allusion to the anime’s counterpart. At one point of the game, a Jigglypuff bothered by Koffing can be rescued. If done, it and two others will appear to sing towards the end of the stage, with the central one holding the anime version’s marker-based “microphone”, and will swell up in anger if the player uses the pokéflute item at this time.

The Jigglypuff we all love, or hate

Jigglypuff is an unlockable character in all three games of the Super Smash Bros. series. It can jump multiple times in midair (in the first two games, the only other character that could do this was Kirby. In Brawl, other characters were given this ability, although the only ones who could fly were Charizard, Meta Knight, and Pit). The Rest attack, in which Jigglypuff descends near an opponent and immediately goes to rest, is difficult to connect, but when successful, often rockets even healthy opponents off the stage; this makes it one of the most powerful attacks in the game.^[10] Jigglypuff’s Pound move has also been given one of the highest priorities in the game; the use of Pound will override most enemy attacks. In Brawl, Jigglypuff’s Final Smash is called Puff Up; Jigglypuff puffs up bigger and bigger, then it delivers one massive hit. It is absolutely devastating on small stages, but will be challenging to use effectively on larger stages. In the Super Smash Bros. games, Jigglypuff is often underrated by players considering it as the Dan Hibiki of the series (also due to similar colours) due to its slow speed and light weight, but these are outweighed by its multi-jumping, maneuverability, and combo attacking abilities.

Well that’s all for now, stay tuned for more news and updates!
