How to Get Jigglypuff in Pokémon GO [All Forms]

Are you enchanted by Jigglypuff - the adorable, pink, balloon-like Pokémon with big sparkling eyes? As one of the most iconic characters in the Pokémon universe, Jigglypuff is beloved for its lullaby in the Pokémon anime, where its songs could literally put everyone to sleep. Naturally, many trainers want to add Jigglypuff (and its evolutions) to their Pokémon GO collection.

In this guide, I'll walk you through how to catch Jigglypuff in Pokémon GO, covering both normal and shiny versions, evolution methods, and tips to get the most out of this charming Fairy-type Pokémon.

Part 1. How to Get Jigglypuff in Pokémon GO [Normal/Shiny]

Getting Jigglypuff isn't too tricky, but there are multiple ways you can add one to your Pokédex. Whether you're hunting for the normal or shiny version, here are the main methods:

#1. Catch in Pokémon GO from the Wild

For trainers looking to register this Pokémon to the Pokédex, the good news is that Jigglypuff is a relatively common spawn in the wild. From my experience, Jigglypuff pops up pretty often in residential neighborhoods and parks. It's not locked to any special biome, so you don't have to go hiking up mountains or hanging around lakes just to find one.

To maximize your chances, be mindful of the in-game weather. Jigglypuff gets boosted spawns in Cloudy and Partly Cloudy conditions. This means, if the in-game weather shows clouds, your Jigglypuff will show up with higher CP and give you extra Stardust. That's a nice bonus if you're planning to evolve it later.

#2. Complete Research Tasks [Time Limited]

Jigglypuff occasionally appears as a reward for Field Research tasks during themed events - such as Valentine's Day or Fairy-type celebrations. While it's not currently in the standard rotation (as of August 2025), it's always worth checking the Today tab for ongoing event tasks.

#3. Evolve from Igglybuff with 25 Candies

Another way to get Jigglypuff is by evolving its baby form, Igglybuff, which can hatch from 2 km eggs. Don't forget to check the Pokémon Pool before you put the egg into Incubators.

• Hatch Igglybuff → Earn 5–15 Jigglypuff Candies.
• Evolve Igglybuff → Costs 25 Candies.

#4. Take Advantage of Online Tools

Want to maximize your Jigglypuff hunt without endless walking? Online community resources like Pokémon Maps and event calendars can help track when Jigglypuff has boosted spawn rates.

And if you can't go outside to explore, don't worry, TunesKit Location Changer can be a convenient to take you virtually move around the Pokémon GO map - with 5 flexible movement modes. With this, you can:

• Jump to Jigglypuff nests worldwide with coordinates online;
• Explore stronger Jigglypuff with Cloudy weather in time;
• Hatch Pokémon GO eggs without walking.

Part 2. How to Find Jigglypuff in Pokémon GO with Costume

Catching a shiny Jigglypuff is already exciting, but there's an even rarer version: costumed Jigglypuff. At the moment, the only costume released for Jigglypuff features a cute ribbon on its head, making it a must-have for collectors.

#1. Wait for and Join the New Year's Event in Pokémon GO

The main way to find a Jigglypuff with a ribbon is during the annual Pokémon GO New Year's Event. In past years, the Jigglypuff wearing a ribbon has appeared in the wild and as a research reward during the New Year event.

So, if you're hoping to grab this special version, make sure to watch for event announcements around late December, since costume spawns are usually tied to holiday celebrations.

#2. Trade with Pokémon GO Friends

Missed the event? Don't worry - your next option is trading with another trainer. Here's what you need to know about trading a costume Jigglypuff in Pokémon GO:

• A new costume counts as a Special Trade and costs more Stardust than normal trades.
• The Stardust cost drops significantly as your Friendship Level with the other trainer increases (Good Friend → Best Friend).
• You'll need to be within 100 meters of the other player to trade.

But what if you can't meet your trading partner in person? That's where TunesKit Location Changer comes in handy. This tool lets you virtually change your GPS location, meaning you can bypass Pokémon GO's trade distance restriction and trade with friends anywhere in the world.

Part 3. What Does Jigglypuff Evolve into Pokémon GO

As the middle stage of a three-part evolution line, Jigglypuff can be evolved into its final form Wigglytuff with 50 Jigglypuff Candy. And unlike some other Pokémons like Eevee, no special evolution items are required for the this Jigglypuff evolution.

Importantly, if you evolve a costumed Jigglypuff, it will keep its outfit after evolution. That means you can end up with a costumed Wigglytuff, such as one wearing a ribbon or festive hat, making it even more unique.

How to Get Jigglypuff Candy Faster for Evolution

Since Jigglypuff is a relatively common spawn in Pokémon GO, collecting candies for evolution isn’t too difficult. Here are the best ways to speed up the process:

• Catch Jigglypuff in the wild: 3 Candy (Double with Pinap Berry).
• Walk with Jigglypuff as your Buddy: You'll earn candies as you explore;
• Transfer extra Jigglypuff to Professor Willow in exchange for one candy each.;
• Join special events like Spotlight Hour, which often provide bonus candy when catching, trading, or transferring Pokémon.

Part 4. Jigglypuff Family in Battle: Best Moveset and Battle Strategy

In this part, I'll show you the performance and stats of Jigglypuff Family for battle. And to sum up, while Jigglypuff itself doesn't have the stats to perform well in Raids or competitive PvP, its evolution Wigglytuff is a surprising powerhouse in the Great League (CP capped at 1500). Thanks to its bulk and Fairy-type fast move, Wigglytuff is a reliable “Charmer” that can hold its own against many meta threats.

Quick Reference: Igglybuff, Jigglypuff & Wigglytuff Stats

Here is a look at the base stats for Jigglypuff and its final evolution. Note Wigglytuff's incredibly high Stamina, which is the key to its bulkiness in battle. Therefore, it's suggested to evolve Jigglypuff if you don't have other Normal and Fairy type choice for battles.

✨ Notice Wigglytuff's incredibly high Stamina, which gives it exceptional staying power in battle. If you don't have many strong Fairy- or Normal-type Pokémon, evolving Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff is a great choice.

Winning Strategy: Key Matchups and Counters

Wigglytuff's role is simple: soak up damage and hit hard with Charm. Here's where it excels and struggles:

✅ Wigglytuff dominates against:

• Dragon-types (Altaria, Zweilous) thanks to double resistance.
• Dark- and Fighting-types like Umbreon, Sableye, Scrafty, and Medicham.

⚠️ Wigglytuff struggles against:

• Steel-types (Registeel, Galarian Stunfisk, Skarmory).
• Poison-types (Nidoqueen, Drapion).

When Wigglytuff was first introduced to Pokémon GO, it was considered very strong. Over time, as more Fairy-types and Steel-type counters entered the game, its dominance faded. Still, in Great League battles, Wigglytuff remains a solid budget option thanks to its bulk and charm damage.

And don't forget - its high CP and massive stamina also make Wigglytuff a great Gym defender, helping you earn PokéCoins more reliably.
