Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan blob-like creature that is extremely "stiff" in both posture and expression, resembling a blue punching bag in some respects. The Pokédex states that it hates light and shock, so it lives quietly in the darkness of caves during the daytime and only comes out in the night. For some reason always desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden, and if its tail is attacked it strikes back ferociously with either its countering abilities or its Destiny Bond battle ability. People theorize this proves its tail hides a secret. Its tail aside, the creature does nothing but endure attacks - it won't attack on its own, and is never first to attack. Instead, it relies on counterstrikes, and if attacked, it inflates its body to pump out its counterattacking ability. If two or more Wobbuffet meet, they will turn competitive and try to outdo each other's endurance. Trainers need to beware their occasional habit of trying to see which one can endure the longest without food, however.

[[File:202WobbuffetGS.png|thumb|left|Wobbuffet's official artwork from ''Pokémon Gold and Silver''.]]
{{pkmn|Wobbuffet}} is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation II}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #202 as the "Patient Pokémon". It is notable for being, along with its pre-evolution {{pkmn|Wynaut}}, the only Pokémon unable to learn any damaging move whatsoever (with the exception of the emergency move {{iw|bulbapedia|Struggle|move}}): its only way to directly damage its opponent is by counterattacking with {{iw|bulbapedia|Counter|move}} or {{iw|bulbapedia|Mirror Coat|move}}, or forcing a mutual KO with {{iw|bulbapedia|Destiny Bond|move}}.


Wobbuffet is a recurring character in the Pokemon anime as one of the main Pokemon of Team Rocket, right alongside [[Meowth]]. It is owned by Jessie, and it is seen so much, it almost is considered a fourth member of Team Rocket. Jessie accidentally traded Lickitung for Wobbuffet. In the video games, it is infamous for its ability to annihilate opponents through counterattacks and a huge amount of Hit Points, and an ability that prevents the opponent from switching Pokemon, making it banned to the "Uber tier" of Pokemon metagame play. It has been recommended that it be tested in lower tiers, but its dominance suggests it should remain in the Uber tier.
Counter is a Fighting-type move. When its user is hit by an opponent's physical move, it deals double the damage received, without taking into account weaknesses or resistance. Wobbuffet knows the move by default.

Wobbuffet appears as a Pokeball Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Wobbuffet uses Counter as its attack. Wobbuffet rocks back and forth when the player attacks it or hits it with an [[item]]. Any character that makes contact with Wobbuffet's Counter will take damage. If Wobbuffet hasn't been hit, contact with it will still cause very minor knockback, but will cause no damage. The power of Wobbuffet's Counter attack varies. If Wobbuffet is hit with a weak attack, it won't wobble a lot. If Wobbuffet is hit with a strong attack, Counter will then cause more damage. Wobbuffet will also wobble if it is hit by an item. Wobbuffet will wobble more intensly if hit with a powerful item. A character will take more damage if they are hit with a faster wobbling Wobbuffet. Also, characters can get trapped in a Wobbuffet's Counter if it is not too powerful. Wobbuffet's attack harms both opponents and the summoner.

If Wobbuffet hasn't been hit, contact with it will still cause very minor knockback, but will cause no damage. The power of Wobbuffet's Counter attack varies. If Wobbuffet is hit with a weak attack, it won't wobble a lot and will deal a small amount of damage.

Wobbuffet's attack harms both opponents and the summoner.
 
Only certain types of items, namely battering and explosive items, will affect Wobbuffet. Other Pokémon will also not affect it, with the exception of [[Electrode]] (from the explosion) and another Wobbuffet (but only when it initially spawns and when it raises its arm to perform its cry). Containers will take damage, but will not cause Wobbuffet to wobble. [[green shell|Green]] and [[Red Shell]]s won't affect it unless they are moving across the ground.

Wobbuffet's appearance as a common Pokémon in this event match is to discourage other characters from expecting a powerful legendary Pokémon. However, Wobbuffet can be useful in this Event Match. If Wobbuffet is hit with a powerful attack from a legendary Pokémon then it will start to wobble intensly. Characters that have a high damage percentage have the possibility of dying. The [[Wire Frames]] will have a hard time to try and avoid Wobbuffet's Counter in this Event Match.

Wobbuffet (ソーナンス, Sonans) is a creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Origin[edit]

Wobbuffet's official artwork from Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Wobbuffet is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #202 as the "Patient Pokémon". It is notable for being, along with its pre-evolution Wynaut, the only Pokémon unable to learn any damaging move whatsoever (with the exception of the emergency move Struggle): its only way to directly damage its opponent is by counterattacking with Counter or Mirror Coat, or forcing a mutual KO with Destiny Bond.

Counter is a Fighting-type move. When its user is hit by an opponent's physical move, it deals double the damage received, without taking into account weaknesses or resistance. Wobbuffet knows the move by default.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Wobbuffet in Melee.

Wobbuffet appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Wobbuffet uses Counter as its attack. Wobbuffet rocks back and forth when the player attacks it or hits it with an item. Any character that makes contact with Wobbuffet's Counter will take damage. If Wobbuffet hasn't been hit, contact with it will still cause very minor knockback, but will cause no damage. The power of Wobbuffet's Counter attack varies. If Wobbuffet is hit with a weak attack, it won't wobble a lot and will deal a small amount of damage. If Wobbuffet is hit with a strong attack, it will wobble more intensely and Counter will then cause more damage. Also, characters can get trapped in a Wobbuffet's Counter if it is not too powerful. Wobbuffet's attack harms both opponents and the summoner.

Only certain types of items, namely battering and explosive items, will affect Wobbuffet. Other Pokémon will also not affect it, with the exception of Electrode (from the explosion) and another Wobbuffet (but only when it initially spawns and when it raises its arm to perform its cry). Containers will take damage, but will not cause Wobbuffet to wobble. Green and Red Shells won't affect it unless they are moving across the ground.

In the Event Match Legendary Pokémon, Wobbuffet is the only non-Legendary Pokémon that will come out of Poké Balls, and while every legendary has their appearance rate doubled, Wobbuffet will appear for the remaining percentage of appearance rate. Wobbuffet's appearance as a common Pokémon in this event match is to discourage other characters from expecting a powerful legendary Pokémon. However, Wobbuffet can be useful in this Event Match. Characters that have a high damage percentage can be KO'd, with the Fighting Wire Frames that appear in the Event Match also struggling to avoid Counter.

As a stage element[edit]

Wobbuffet's appearance in Poke Floats.

A giant balloon of Wobbuffet (in actuality, the 3D model of Wobbuffet used in Pokémon Stadium 2 for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and moving "platforms" that make the Poké Floats stage. It appears from the side horizontally and jerkily.

Trophy[edit]

Wobbuffet is featured as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various single-player Regular Matches.
