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.
If two or more Wobbuffet meet, they will turn competitive and try to outdo each other’s endurance. However, they may try to see which one can endure the longest without food. Trainers need to beware of this habit.
Wobbuffet does nothing but endure attacks—it won’t attack on its own. However, it won’t endure an attack on its tail. When that happens, the Pokémon will try to take the foe with it using Destiny Bond.
Wobbuffet Weakness
Type-wise, Wobbuffet takes extra damage from Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Wobbuffet's overall bulk (190/58/58) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Wobbuffet Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Wynaut evolves into Wobbuffet at level 15. Wobbuffet is the fully evolved form. It sits at 405 BST in its evolved form.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Wobbuffet can work for a story run. 405 BST is average, but Psychic typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, we rate Wobbuffet C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. At 405 BST, it fits the support role. Encore with Leftovers is the standard set.
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.
