Wobbuffet Evolutions

USUM Wobbuffet Best Moveset
190 HP with AbilityShadow Tag preventing opponents from switching out. MoveCounter reflects physical damage at double power and MoveMirror Coat reflects special damage at double power. Cannot attack directly. The moveset works by forcing the opponent to attack into a Counter or Mirror Coat prediction, but fails against anything that can set up instead.

Moves List
Not a lot to pick from. Wobbuffet gets Mirror Coat for same-type damage, and Fighting coverage rounds things out. You're building around what's available rather than choosing from a deep bench.

Wobbuffet Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Wobbuffet can work for a story run. 405 BST is average, but Psychic typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, we rate Wobbuffet C-Tier: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. At 405 BST, it fits the support role. Mirrorcoat with Custapberry 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.
Base 33 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Wobbuffet is a mixed attacker with base 33 Attack and 33 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a support.
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.
