Jigglypuff is an adorable creature that most fans of the Pokemon franchise have adored since generation 1. Even though Jigglypuff is admired by the majority of the fan base for its cute appearance and unique array of attacks, there are a lot of things that are easily overlooked about this fascinating Pokemon.
Jigglypuff has many attacks and attributes that are easy to miss when it is encountered in the games or the anime. Every trainer should have knowledge about this creature since it is so commonly encountered in most regions of the Pokemon world.
10 Jigglypuff Can Use Its Eyes To Hypnotize People And Other Pokemon
Jigglypuff has a ton of powerful abilities that are easy to miss because of its cute exterior. One such example is the ability to hypnotize other creatures around it, which is one of Jigglypuff's most powerful attacks.
Jigglypuff is able to hypnotize both people and Pokemon through many methods, including singing and using its adorable eyes to infatuate them. Trainers that happen to encounter a Jigglypuff in the wild may not think much of it at first, but they will be terrified upon meeting the next one after dealing with Jigglypuff's secret attack.
9 Jigglypuff Became A Fairy-Type In Generation 6
Jigglypuff was originally a Normal-type, but it got the addition of the Fairy-typing after Generation VI was introduced to the franchise. There weren't many Fairy-type Pokemon in this generation since the type was only just introduced, and as such, it was easy for fans to overlook that Jigglypuff even gained this new type.
Not a lot of Pokemon have undergone a type change throughout the franchise's history, which is why Jigglypuff's switch is such a major deal. With Jigglypuff's new type, it also gained a vast array of Fairy-type attacks for trainers to teach it.
8 Jigglypuff Is Classified As The Balloon Pokemon
A lot of trainers look at Jigglypuff and wonder what the creature is actually classified as in the Pokemon franchise; the answer may be surprising. Jigglypuff is officially known as the balloon Pokemon, sharing this classification with Drifloon.
Jigglypuff may be round; however, it doesn't exactly look like a balloon. Even so, it is easy to see why the creators of the original Kanto Pokemon chose to classify Jigglypuff as a balloon since it doesn't look similar to any animal in the real world.
7 75 Percent Of Jigglypuffs Are Female
The majority of Jigglypuff's that are encountered in the wild are female, which makes sense when taking into account the cute design of this Pokemon.
A male Jigglypuff is actually quite rare, and if a trainer wants to capture one for their Pokedex, then they will have to work extra hard to find it. Since the gender percentage of Pokemon doesn't often come up in the franchise, it's easy to miss this interesting fact about Jigglypuff.
6 Jigglypuff Prefers To Live In Meadow-Like Locations
Jigglypuff has a preference for making its home in either a plains-like location or a meadow. This is most likely because Jigglypuff isn't an incredibly strong creature, and there aren't a ton of tough Pokemon hiding around Meadows. Usually, the strongest Kanto Pokemon are found hiding deep within caves or in more rough conditions.
The best place to find a Jigglypuff is in grassy terrain, and in most Pokemon games, they are also found in low-level locations such as the first few towns of the region.
5 Jigglypuff Has Green Eyes In Its Shiny Form
Trainers that happen to get lucky and encounter a shiny Jigglypuff might be surprised about how similar its color scheme is compared to the regular version.
Jigglypuff keeps its pink color for its body; however, the most distinct change that it gains is its green eyes. Usually, Jigglypuff will have an aqua blue color for its eyes, but its shiny form completely changes this with a much deeper-looking green. This change may be preferable for some trainers, depending on their favorite color.
4 None Of Jigglypuff's Evolutionary Line Evolve By Leveling Up
Igglybuff, Jigglypuff's pre-evolution, evolves by reaching a high friendship with its trainer. Wigglytuff, Jigglypuff's evolution, evolves when exposed to a moonstone. Igglybuff isn't a very strong baby Pokemon, so the sooner a trainer gains its affection, the better.
It isn't particularly uncommon for a Pokemon to evolve through a method other than leveling up; however, most Pokemon don't have an evolutionary line that requires two special requirements outside of simply leveling them up to a certain level. A lot of trainers don't know how to level up an Igglypuff since Jigglypuff is usually encountered in the wild, having already evolved into a Jigglypuff.
3 Jigglypuff's Song Changes Depending On What Region It's In
Jigglypuff is a unique Pokemon, and one of its most special traits is having a beautiful singing voice. The song that Jigglypuff sings is dependent on which region it comes from as it seems to learn a different tune when it is born in or lives in another region.
It's great that Jigglypuff is able to learn more than one song because, although its original tune is great, it would get quite boring listening to the same song over and over again after capturing a few Jigglypuffs. It is likely that this Pokemon is able to learn multiple songs by communicating with other Jigglypuffs from different regions.
2 Jigglypuff Stands 0.5 Meters Tall
Jigglypuff isn't a very tall Pokemon, and it is easy to see that simply by looking at it compared to a human or a larger creature. However, it may come as a surprise to learn that Jigglypuff is only 0.5 meters tall, or 1.6 feet.
Jigglypuff is an incredibly tiny Pokemon. Although it may be able to hypnotize others with its eyes and perform powerful Fairy-type attacks, it may have trouble defeating Pokemon that use physical attacks such as Take Down.
1 Jigglypuff Often Risks Its Life To Put Other Pokemon To Sleep
When Jigglypuff is faced with a dangerous threat, it sometimes will risk its own life in order to ensure that its opponent falls asleep. This is one of the reasons why Jigglypuff makes such a loyal companion since it would be willing to risk its life to save its trainer by attempting to put a dangerous Pokemon to sleep.
There aren't a lot of Pokemon that would be willing to risk their lives to defeat an enemy; most creatures would probably just flee from the fight. Jigglypuff may be a physically weaker Pokemon, but its courage and determination completely make up for its lack of size.
