Wobbuffet Guide
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Wobbuffet's biggest threats include Heracross (Bug), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Tyranitar (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. At base 33 Speed, Wobbuffet won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Wynaut evolves into Wobbuffet at level 15. Wobbuffet is the fully evolved form. It sits at 405 BST in its evolved form.
