Special abilities
Wynaut is somewhat skilled at countering enemy attacks, although doesn't do so as well as Wobbuffet can. Like Wobbuffet, Wynaut are incapable of harming foes outside of counterattacks. Wynaut have high endurance, which they hone by squeezing up against one another on moonlit nights.
Behavior
Wynaut are always smiling, even when they're not happy. As a result, it communicates its emotions through its tail. If a Wynaut is slapping the ground with its tail, it is angry. On moonlit nights, hordes of Wynaut will gather to squeeze up against one another. The intent of this activity is to strengthen their endurance and allow for more powerful counterattacks. They are drawn to fruit gardens by the scent and will pick fruit with their earlike arms.
Wynaut is only found on Mirage Island, where it is the sole species. It is unknown why Wynaut only appear there. Mirage Island is also the only place the Liechi Berry is found naturally. This leads to the theory that they need to feed on the Liechi Berry to survive in the wild.

Origin
Name origin
Wynaut's name is pronounced identically to the phrase "why not?"
Sohnano is almost homophonous with the phrase そうなの sō na no, which means "really?", with only a difference in tone. This name, when paired with the Japanese name of its evolution, Wobbuffet, ソーナンス Sonans, makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "really?" followed by "that's the way it is," and so on, as seen in Camp Pikachu.
In other languages
German: Isso - A possible corruption of Is so or the German "Ist es so?" ("Is it so?").
Chinese (Taiwan): 小果然 Xiǎo Guǒ Rán - "小" means small or young. "果然" means "really/indeed/as expected" or "if indeed". 果然 is also a reference to 果然翁 (Wobuffet).
