FRLG Wynaut Best Moveset
AbilityShadow Tag traps the opponent on the field. MoveCounter and MoveMirror Coat reflect damage at double power. MoveEncore locks the opponent into one move, then the correct reflect punishes. The moveset is identical to Wobbuffet's strategy at a smaller scale, locking and reflecting from the baby stage.
