| '''Wobbuffet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソーナンス''' ''Sonans'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]].
| |
| | |
| It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wynaut}} starting at [[level]] 15.
| |
| | |
| ==Biology==
| |
| ===Physiology===
| |
| Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan-colored blob-like creature with a black tail that has two eye-spots on it. Wobbuffet has flipper-like arms and a crooked expression on its face as a opposed to the perpetual smile that {{p|Wynaut|its un-evolved form}} has. It also walks on four legs at its base.
| |
| ====Gender differences====
| |
| Female Wobbuffet appear to be wearing lipstick.
| |
| | |
| ====Special abilities====
| |
| Wobbuffet is only capable of {{m|counter}}ing enemy attacks. However, it is highly effective at doing this due to its high endurance. It also has the curious ability to {{a|Shadow Tag|keep its opponent from retreating}}.
| |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| When two Wobbuffet meet, they usually try to test each others' endurance. Even though Wobbuffet are classified as "Patient" Pokémon, a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who has it often finds that his or her Wobbuffet tends to pop out of its [[Poké Ball]] by itself, shouting out in agreement of something someone said.
| |
| | |
| ===Habitat===
| |
| [[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
| |
| Wobbuffet live in dark caves to keep their tail hidden.

| |
| | |
| ==In the anime==
| |
| [[Image:Musashitosonans.jpg|right|thumb|Jessie and Wobbuffet]]
| |
| [[Jessie]] has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} that frequently emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] to shout its name or cause what Jessie considers to be trouble. It has appeared in almost every episode since she accidentally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for it in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''. However, she rarely uses Wobbuffet in battle.
| |
| | |
| ''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a town in which everyone owned a Wobbuffet.
| |
| | |
| ==In the manga==
| |
| ===Pokémon Special===
| |
| Wobbuffet first appeared in {{PSV|11}} under the ownership of {{special|Crystal}}'s mother.
| |
| | |
| ==In the TCG==

| | |
| ==Other appearances==
| |
| [[Image:Wobbuffet Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Wobbuffet in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
| |
| ===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
| |
| When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Wobbuffet will stand on the stage in one place. Anyone attacking or running into it will be damaged by its {{m|Counter}}, apart from the player who threw the Poké Ball, who will only be knocked back.
| |
| | |
| Wobbuffet is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]] in Melee. It appears on its side and never fully reveals itself. When it first appears, it will quickly return off-screen but will then come back and remain to allow for fighting to take place on top of it.
| |
| | |
| ====Melee trophy information====
| |
| A Patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet lives in darkness to hide its mismatched black tail. Even for a stoic Pokémon, this creature is a testament to self-control; it will not actively attack an opponent. Its {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} moves are solely used for reflecting attacks directly back at its antagonist.
| |
| | |
| ==Game data==
| |
| ===NPC appearances===
| |
| * [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Wobbuffet and {{p|Wynaut}} send the {{player}} on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Notably, the Wobbuffet is the only Pokémon in the entire game that doesn't speak human language.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its pre-evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, ソーナノ ''Sohnano'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "that's the way it is" followed by "really?", and so on, as seen in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.
| |
| * Wobbuffet has the third highest base {{stat|HP}} stat in the {{pkmn|games}}, after {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Chansey}}.
| |
| ** It also has the highest base HP of all {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, the only stat among this type that is ''not'' dominated by any form of {{p|Deoxys}}.
| |
| * Wobbuffet is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
| |
| * It is one of five evolution families to learn both {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. The others are {{p|Deoxys}} in Defense Forme (via [[level|leveling up]]), {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Mudkip}} (both via {{pkmn|breeding}}), and {{p|Squirtle}} (via breeding and [[move tutor|move tutoring]] in {{game|Emerald}}).
| |
| * If the opponent does not attack Wobbuffet, Wobbuffet cannot harm the opponent except with {{m|Struggle}}.
| |
| *Wobbuffet's tail has two "eyes", while its pre-evolution {{p|Wynaut}}'s tail only has one.
| |
| | |
| ===Origin===
| |
| It may be based on the late Japanese comedian 林家三平 ''{{wp|Sanpei Hayashiya}}'', who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, そうなんす、奥さん ''sō na-n-su, okusan'', "That's the way it is, ma'am."
| |
| | |
| In addition, its form and available moves may be based on a {{wp|punching bag}}; that is, when it is hit, it bounces back. It may also be based on Inky from the Pac-Man series.
| |
| | |
| ====Name origin====
| |
| Wobbuffet's name is a combination of ''wobble'' and ''buffet'', meaning to strike repeatedly, possibly referring to its action of slapping its own forehead. Its Japanese name is homophonous with the interjection そうなんす ''sō na-n-su'', which roughly means "that's the way it is."
| |
| | |
| ==In other languages==
| |
| * [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Woingenau - Means "Where to, exactly?".
| |
| * [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Qulbutoke - A play on ''Culbuto'' (the French trademarked name for {{wp|Weeble}}s) and the expression ''OK''.
| |
| * [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마자용 ''Majayong'' - A play on ''Majayo'', which means "That's correct/That's right".
