Stats & Training
Raw HP carries Wobbuffet's bulk more than the defenses do. Attack barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Patient Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden. It is said to be proof the tail hides a secret.

Wobbuffet Guide
In Diamond & 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 Diamond & Pearl, Wynaut evolves into Wobbuffet at level 15. Wobbuffet is the fully evolved form. It sits at 405 BST in its evolved form.
In Diamond & Pearl, Wobbuffet can work for a story run. 405 BST is average, but Psychic typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
For Diamond & Pearl, we rate Wobbuffet C-Tier: a niche pick in Diamond & Pearl's meta. At 405 BST, it fits the support role. Base 190 HP stands out.
Shadow Tag is the go-to ability for Wobbuffet. It prevents opponents from fleeing or switching out. Its hidden ability Telepathy can work in specific setups.
Game Availability
Available in 16 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Wobbuffet spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
