Jigglypuff would begin to follow the gang throughout their journey until during the [[Advanced Generation series]]. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep. This goal was mentioned by {{MTR}} during a conversation between the two Pokémon in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', when they made a short-lived agreement to pursue their dreams together. Jigglypuff became absorbed in its dream to become a famous singer, tending to shift between reality and fantasy. Because of this, it frequently went great lengths to protect its microphone-like marker. | Jigglypuff would begin to follow the gang throughout their journey until during the [[Advanced Generation series]].

Jigglypuff made yet another appearance in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' where it sang most of its song, putting {{Gary}} and his {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} to sleep. It appeared in the next episode, and many other episodes to come, following Ash and always looking for opportunities to sing on a stage or for a crowd. It also made a small cameo at the beginning of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. It seems to have a desire to become a Pokémon diva of some sort, but currently its primary goal is to find someone who can listen to its song the whole way through. It came close to achieving this goal in ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party]]'' when it met a {{p|Whismur}} whose {{a|Soundproof}} Ability negated the effects of the song, though the friendship between the two was short lived because the Whismur ended up passing out from exhaustion the second time Jigglypuff sang, making Jigglypuff think its song had put its new friend to sleep. | Jigglypuff made yet another appearance in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' where it sang most of its song, putting {{Gary}} and his {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} to sleep.

Jigglypuff is characterized by its sassy attitude and love of attention. In ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', it secretly attacks Pikachu as an envious response to Ash's affection for his Pokémon. Similarly, in ''[[EP243|Same Old Song and Dance]]'', it bullies two {{p|Igglybuff}} who perform with their Trainer {{jo|Brittany}}. Jigglypuff is also quick-tempered, ending potential friendships with those who upset it (like with Meowth in ''Tunnel Vision''). | Jigglypuff is characterized by its sassy attitude and love of attention.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker. However, there have been two instances in which characters have listened to a portion of its song without getting drowsy: the first being during Jigglypuff's first performance in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', and the second during its brief appearance in ''[[EP054|Case of the K-9 Capers]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were trying to fight off a brainwashed {{p|Growlithe}} Squad. In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party]]'', its song is finally heard completely by a {{p|Whismur}}, though the Whismur would faint during Jigglypuff's second performance due to exhaustion from a previous unrelated battle. | Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag.

Besides its marker, Jigglypuff also has a voice-changing microphone which it picked up in ''[[EP054|Case of the K-9 Capers]]'', but it has yet to use it. It is assumed that this item was intended to be reused in a different plot but was abandoned, much like the [[GS Ball]]. | Besides its marker, Jigglypuff also has a voice-changing microphone which it picked up in ''[[EP054|Case of the K-9 Capers]]'', but it has yet to use it.

Jigglypuff appears only once in {{series|Advanced Generation}}, in the episode ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party]]''. It has not appeared since then, except in the form of a karaoke mike in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', which had a miniature Jigglypuff on it complete with its own tiny marker. Based on how scarcely it is seen at this point, the Jigglypuff which followed Ash through a large portion of his journey may have faded from the anime cast completely. However, it has been parodied, notably in ''[[PK18|Pikachu's Exploration Club]]'', where a {{p|Marill}} frequently appeared, singing, putting {{MTR}} and Team Rocket's other Pokémon to sleep, and getting angry, causing it to puff up. | Jigglypuff appears only once in {{series|Advanced Generation}}, in the episode ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]''.
