It can inflate its body like a balloon (usually when it becomes angry this is accompanied by a distinctive "honk" sound), or flatten its body, much like fellow Nintendo character Kirby. Known as the Balloon Pokémon, Jigglypuff is shaped like a round ball with pink skin, large blue or green eyes, pointy ears, and a tuft of fur on its forehead. It has a pre-evolution, Igglybuff, which evolves when it reaches a certain point of happiness. When a Jigglypuff is exposed to a Moon Stone, it evolves into Wigglytuff. Deciding to use a name better suited for its jelly-like appearance, the species was renamed "Jigglypuff", a combination of the words "jiggly" and "puff".
Nintendo decided to give the various Pokémon species "clever and descriptive names" related to their appearance or features when translating the game for western audiences as a means to make the characters more relatable to American children. Its Japanese name "Purin", derives from the Japanese loanword for custard or pudding. Jigglypuff was one of 151 different Generation I Pokémon designs conceived by Game Freak's character development team and finalized by Ken Sugimori, for the first-generation of Pocket Monsters games Red and Green, which were localized outside Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue.
It also has appeared as a playable character in every entry of the Super Smash Bros. It has been featured in several forms of merchandise, including figurines, plush toys, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The character has been featured in a recurring role in the anime series and served as the focus for several printed adaptions of the franchise. Its English name is a combination of the words "jiggly" and "puff", intended to relate to its jelly-like appearance. Known as the Balloon Pokémon, Jigglypuff evolves from Igglybuff when it reaches a certain point of happiness, and evolves into Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone. Jigglypuff is also very well known for singing a lullaby in the Pokémon anime series. In the live-action musical Pokémon Live!, Jigglypuff is portrayed by Leah Smith. Jigglypuff is voiced by Rachael Lillis in English and by Mika Kanai in Japanese.
