History
Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver
With Benny
Wobbuffet originally belonged to aTrainer namedBenny. InTricks of the Trade, Benny was searching for someone to trade Wobbuffet with for a stronger Pokémon at thePokémon Swap Meet inPalmpona. He was not successful at first, though a Trainer with aStantler seemed to like his offer, but then bailed for aHoothoot at the last minute. Jessie's Poké Ball containing herLickitung accidentally fell into thetrade machine instead when she crashed into it. Unbeknownst to her, Lickitung got swapped for Wobbuffet.
With Jessie
Later, inTricks of the Trade, after the trade commenced, Jessie wanted to send out her Lickitung to battleAsh andhis friends. Much to her surprise, Wobbuffet appeared instead.James immediately looked up his moves for Jessie. Even though Wobbuffet had no offensive attacks, he managed to counterChikorita's attacks back to her. Nevertheless, Wobbuffet was still blasted off along with theTeam Rocket trio byPikachu'sThunderbolt.
Ever sinceTunnel Vision, Wobbuffet had his place in theTeam Rocket motto, first beforeMeowth (which usually left him very upset), and some episodes later, right after Meowth. He could often be heard crying out subsequent to the "Team Rocket is blasting off again!" line, even if he was not out of his Poké Ball when the team was sent blasting off. Wobbuffet was thus somewhat a fourth team member.
One time, inPower Play!, Wobbuffet popped out of his Poké Ball and redirected Meowth's attack back to himself. This gave Jessie the idea of building a Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet, which would counter any attack back to the user similar to Wobbuffet'sCounter.
InWobbu-Palooza!, Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket came across a festival honoring Wobbuffet. Jessie's Wobbuffet popped out of his Poké Ball much to the villagers' excitement. TheWobbuffet Festival crashers showed up to attack the Wobbuffet and Jessie sent out her own Wobbuffet to battle them. Jessie's single-handedly took out the Wobbuffet Festival crashers' Pokémon with the use of Counter and Mirror Coat.
InImitation Confrontation, Wobbuffet battledDuplica'sDitto, Mini-Dit. Mini-Dittransformed into Wobbuffet and used the same moveset to battle Wobbuffet and Arbok. As a result, Wobbuffet ended up losing to his miniature counterpart.
InThe Wayward Wobbuffet, Wobbuffet was tasked with guarding the Poké Pod containing Ash's Pikachu. During the chase to get the Pod, Wobbuffet, along with the Pod and the key to it, was separated from Jessie and went on an action-packed adventure. He soon bumped into a thief namedGoneff, who was not happy with Wobbuffet bumping into his vehicle and took Wobbuffet hostage. Team Rocket dug a hole and headed to the warehouse Goneff was hiding in to rescue Wobbuffet. Ash and hisTotodile went with them only for Totodile to get badly hurt byGolem. When Golem was about to finish off Totodile, Wobbuffet jumped in the way and sent Golem flying back to its Trainer. Ash was able to get the Poké Pod back but not the key, as Wobbuffet still had it as he flew away along with the Team Rocket trio on the Wobbuffet-shaped balloon. Ash sent outNoctowl to get the key from Wobbuffet and Pikachu was freed from the Poké Pod.
InRing Masters, Wobbuffet was entered into theSumo Conference, disguised as aMiltank facing off against a Trainer'sUrsaring. He was able to make quick work of his opponent with Counter, but was disqualified due toShonosuke noticing the use of the move.
InA Promise is a Promise, Jessie used Wobbuffet againstCassidy andButch to try and see which of them would steal aLugia. The attacks from both sides of Team Rocket's Pokémon ended up breaking the energy barrier holding Lugia captive, and it blasted them all away.
InWhy? Wynaut!, Team Rocket devised a plan to steal Ash'sBadges. Wobbuffet was handed the Badge case and ran ahead, and along the way he encountered a wildWynaut who also wanted the Badges. The two had an exchange until Team Rocket arrived, which startled Wobbuffet. This gave Wynaut time to flee with the case, leading to Wobbuffet being blamed for losing it. Wobbuffet explained to Meowth it was a blue Pokémon that stole it; Jessie concluded it must have been aWooper. They found a Wooper and chased after it straight into Ash and his badge case. A fight ensued, and Pikachu blasted them off with Thunderbolt.
Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire
Hoenn
InA Poached Ego!, Wobbuffet was sent out to battleRico'sTyranitar. He attempted to counter Tyranitar'sHyper Beam, but fainted due to the attack being too fast to counter.
InClaydol Big and Tall, Wobbuffet put on the disguise of a maid which made a humongous Claydol fall in love with him. This was part of a plan to get this dangerous Claydol back inside its stone Poké Ball. When Wobbuffet's disguise was revealed, Claydol was angry, but Claydol was returned to its stone Poké Ball before Wobbuffet was hurt.
InWho, What, When, Where, Wynaut?, Wobbuffet was separated from the rest of Team Rocket during a blast off. The trio spent the rest of the day searching for him, upon which he appeared eating a handful ofLiechi Berries. Seeing the potential in stealing the rare fruit, Wobbuffet led them to the place where he found them. The plan ended up failing when Ash and friends discovered what they were doing.
Kanto Battle Frontier
Wobbuffet made his stage debut in theBattle Stage of theSaffron CityPokémon Contest inA Hurdle for Squirtle. Jessie planned for him to use the countering technique againstHarley'sAriados. However, this backfired, as Ariados'sString Shot manipulated him into a puppet. Since then, he was used in other Contests, but would usually cause the elimination of Jessie for one reason or another.
Wobbuffet ran away from the group inFear Factor Phony after a fake ghost made by some Ghost Pokémon scared him off. While he was running away, he saw aKirlia dancing and fell in love with it. When Team Rocket caught Pikachu and Kirlia, Wobbuffet jumped after it into the mecha and broke Kirlia and its Psychic Pokémon friends free from Team Rocket's capture. Entirely thanks to Wobbuffet, Team Rocket's plan was completely ruined.
Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl
Wobbuffet went with Jessie, James, and Meowth to Sinnoh inFollowing A Maiden's Voyage! where he countered Meowth'sFury Swipes after an argument with Jessie. As a result, he sent Team Rocket blasting off and Pikachu falling in the forest.
Team Rocket was hired byTeam Galactic to steal theAdamant Orb from theEterna Historical Museum inA Secret Sphere of Influence!. Team Rocket successfully made the theft-framingNando in the process-but ultimately failed to get away with the orb.
InOne Big Happiny Family!, Wobbuffet participated in catchingBrock's Happiny and accidentally tugged on Team Rocket's balloon after trying to pull her down. After the balloon fell to the ground, Wobbuffet, Meowth, andMime Jr. made funny faces at Happiny but she was not happy about it. Later in the episode, Wobbuffet, Meowth, and Mime Jr. prevented Happiny from reuniting with Brock but she single-handedly defeated them by throwing them in the air.
InStaging a Heroes' Welcome!, Jessie used Wobbuffet in thePerformance Stage of theWallace Cup. After being sent out with aFlora Seal, Wobbuffet ran straight towards Jessie and used Counter, which sent her flying sky high. The performance failed to impress theContest Judges and, when the results were announced, Jessie was not among theCoordinators advancing to theContest Battles.
InArriving in Style!, Wobbuffet was used in theHearthome Collection, a fashion show forStylists and theirPokémon whose winner would get the chance to work on a photo shoot for thePoké Chic magazine. For the competition, Jessie asked James to come up with some stylishaccessories for her Pokémon, which James did by designing a necklace that was suitable for Wobbuffet'sshape. However, Jessie thought the necklace was too simplistic and decided to apply some make-up on Wobbuffet. When it came time for Jessie to show off her Pokémon, the judgesParis andHermione did not appreciate Wobbuffet's look. As a result, Wobbuffet was not among the three finalists of the competition.
InNoodles! Roamin' Off!, after Jessie, James, and Meowth had disbanded, James went after aShinyMetagross with the intention of presenting it to the boss and crediting the whole trio, believing the promise of success would be enough to bring Jessie and Meowth back. Upon learning what he was doing, Jessie went to rescue him, with Wobbuffet using Counter to block the boulders Metagross was throwing around. A second attempt failed due to Metagross's calculations, and the villainous team was defeated. Although they were blasted off again, the three were happy to be back together.
InDouble-Time Battle Training!, Jessie sent out Wobbuffet andYanmega topractice forPokémon Contests which follow theDouble Performance format. She commanded Wobbuffet to deflect Yanmega'sSilver Wind with Mirror Coat. However, this failed and theTeam Rocket trio was sent blasting off.
Pokémon the Series: Black & White
Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Wobbuffet atTeam Rocket's headquarters as he is not a Pokémon native in theUnova region and would attract attention. However, Wobbuffet made appearances along withMeowth in thePikachu shortsPK23,Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade, andEevee & Friends, despite not being present with the team during this period.
Wobbuffet's only appearance in aPokémon the Series: Black & White episode was inThe Dream Continues!. After returning toKanto and giving away their Unova Pokémon toGiovanni at the headquarters, the Team Rocket trio walked through a corridor only for Wobbuffet to pop up, surprising them. Wobbuffet was later seen with Team Rocket as they eavesdropped on Ash from the roof of his house inPallet Town, leaving forKalos with them and marking his return to Jessie's team.
Pokémon the Series: XY
Wobbuffet reappeared as a member of Jessie's team inPokémon the Series: XY, where he was shown to be much more competent in battle. InKalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, Wobbuffet was used in a battle against Pikachu, where he almost defeated Pikachu by returning hisThunderbolt right back at him withMirror Coat. However, a wildFroakie came in and defended Pikachu from a reflectedElectro Ball. Froakie helped defeat Wobbuffet by using its Frubbles to knock Wobbuffet on his back due to his inability to reflect moves that aren't attacks. Wobbuffet was soon blasted off by Pikachu, Froakie, andClemont's Bunnelby.
InA Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!, Wobbuffet was separated from Team Rocket along with Jessie after being blasted off by Pikachu. After falling into the sea due to aGloom, he was rescued byDr. White. He subsequently got romantically involved with Dr. White's female Wobbuffet. After Jessie tried to leave him behind with the Wobbuffet and Dr. White'sWynaut to help Team Rocket to fight aPokémon hunter, he appeared at the last second to deflect the Pokémon hunter'sRhyperior's attacks. Afterwards, Team Rocket's Pokémon, as well as Pikachu andFennekin combined their attacks to defeat Rhyperior. The Pokémon hunter was arrested by Dr. White andBeatrice, and Wobbuffet and Team Rocket left to continue following Ash and his friends.
InPerforming with Fiery Charm!, Wobbuffet was used in theDendemille Town Rookie ClassPokémon Showcase. In the Theme Performance, he and Meowth helped Jessie to make PokéPuffs and managed to proceed to the next round. During the Freestyle Performance, Jessie had Meowth bounce on Wobbuffet, while he was using Counter. In the end, Meowth used Fury Swipes to slice a bunch of Tomato Berries, resulting in a heart-shaped pile of berries. Despite their performance being well received by the audience, Jessie ended up in fifth place.
InA Dancing Debut!, Wobbuffet aided Jessie in makingPoké Puffs during the Theme Performances of theCouriway Town Rookie Class Pokémon Showcase and managed to help Jessie proceed to the next round. Later, he was used again during the Freestyle Performance along withGourgeist. After using Counter to let Jessie bounce in the air, he reflected Gourgeist'sShadow Ball with Mirror Coat to create a collision withSeed Bomb, resulting in amazing fireworks. In the end, their performance received the most votes from the audience, making Jessie the winner and earning her firstPrincess Key.
InAn Explosive Operation!, Wobbuffet battled againstTeam Flare, who tried capturingZ2, where he used Mirror Coat to deflectAliana'sDruddigon'sDragon Pulse back at them. After Z2 had been defeated by Team Flare, Wobbuffet, joined by Jessie, James and Meowth, tried to prevent Team Flare from capturing Z2, but were blasted off by their Pokémon.
Wobbuffet, along with his teammates, worked asMalva's assistants during theLumiose Conference fromA League of His Own! toDown to the Fiery Finish!, with the aim of earning money and capturing any strong Pokémon in theKalos League. However, they were not very pleased with their job and felt that they were over-working; despite this, they did not quit their jobs. InKalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!, they made it a point to steal the two finalists' Pokémon, Ash andAlain's, after the battle, but could not execute their plan due toTeam Flare wreaking havoc inLumiose City.
Wobbuffet faced Team Flare again inRocking Kalos Defenses!, this time againstCelosia'sDrapion andMable'sWeavile inLysandre Labs. He managed to deflect their attacks with Mirror Coat, allowing James to capture the two Scientists and their Pokémon in a net.
Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon
Wobbuffet continued to travel with Team Rocket in theAlola region, being the onlyparty Pokémon they retained from their journey through Kalos. Starting with this series, Wobbuffet appears outside of his Poké Ball more often.
InThe Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!, Wobbuffet participated in a battle against Ash, and, working with his teammates, was finally able to gain the upper-hand bypoisoning hisRowlet and dealing serious damage to Pikachu. AsMimikyu was about to launch one final attack,Bewear suddenly appeared from the water and took Team Rocket away with her.
InRacing to a Big Event!, Wobbuffet and Meowth teamed up inside of a Bewear robot to compete in thePokémon Pancake Race. Using the rocket thrusters, they shot towards the finish line, but were grabbed by Bewear right before winning.
InA Seasoned Search!, Team Rocket completed their secret base inBewear's den.
InSmashing with Sketch!, Jessie used Wobbuffet in thePokémon Ping-Pong tournament; They faced off againstIlima and hisSmeargle. Wobbuffet Countered the ball, with SmeargleSketching it to copy the attack. In an attempt to earn Jessie the victory, Meowth used the shine off his charm to blind Ilima. The strategy failed, with Ilima hearing the ball, and Meowth turned to Jessie and Wobbuffet, accidentally blinding them and costing them the match.
InA Battle Hand-Off!, Team Rocket acted as Ash's opponent during hisThrifty Megamarttrial. Mimikyu battled Pikachu, and eventually Mimikyu usedLet's Snuggle Forever, with all of Team Rocket working together to provide the Z-Power. However, Pikachu was able to survive the Z-Move when he shielded himself with his newly learnedElectroweb. When Ash'sElectrium Z turned into aPikashunium Z, Pikachu was able to use10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, which defeated Mimikyu.
InSecuring the Future!, Wobbuffet joined the rest of Alola in showeringNecrozma with light so it could return to itsnormal form.
InBeauty is Only Crystal Deep!, Wobbuffet attempted to protect Team Rocket from aPheromosa going around stealingZ-Crystals. While he was fast enough to respond to its attack, his Counter was easily overpowered.
InThe Dealer of Destruction!, Team Rocket metTeam Skull's leaderGuzma. They challenged him with Wobbuffet andMareanie, only to be defeated.
InSpying for the Big Guy!, Giovanni informed the group that he wanted them to send Bewear to him, as they had earlier stated they had caught her. They attempted to catch her before realizing it would be impossible, after whichMatori and her Meowth appeared demanding the Strong Arm Pokémon. They stalled her by promising other strong Pokémon-namely those belonging to Ash and his friends andGrandpa Forest. Both attempts failed, and Matori settled for takingStufful. Unable to let their friend be taken, the group tricked Matori into taking Meowth disguised as Stufful. When the ruse was discovered,Matori's Meowth attacked, which summoned Bewear to the rescue.
InLeague Offenders and Defenders!, Wobbuffet and Mareanie teamed up to stop someTeam Skull Grunts from destroying theManalo Stadium.
InThe Battlefield of Truth and Love!, Jessie used Wobbuffet in herManalo Conference battle against James. With his ability to counter any move, Wobbuffet initially had the upper hand against Mareanie. However, Mareanie launched a barrage ofSpike Cannons so relentless that Wobbuffet was unable to counter every single hit. This caused him to eventually lose, subsequently eliminating Jessie from the tournament.
InThank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Team Rocket received a call from HQ to return to headquarters. Unable to believe Mimikyu and Mareanie would be happy there, they released the two Pokémon before returning to Kanto.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
InIvysaur's Mysterious Tower!, Giovanni ordered Wobbuffet, Jessie, James, and Meowth to steal strong and rare Pokémon for the organization and make Team Rocket known and feared across the world and promised to deliver them a new secret weapon meant to help them achieve these objectives: TheRocket Prize Master. They used it for the first time against Ash andGoh, receiving aTyranitar andGyarados. Despite the powerful Pokémon, they lost to Ash's Pikachu.
Sometime prior toKicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!, Team Rocket was revealed to have made a secret base inVermilion City.
InA Talent for Imitation!, Team Rocket encountered a movie-starDitto who'd run away due to its inability to properlyTransform andKublock's short temper. Deciding to make Ditto a new member of Team Rocket, the group worked to teach Ditto to control its nerves and transform properly. After learning that Ditto was needed back, however, Team Rocket pretended they'd kidnapped Ditto to cover up the fact it ran away. The trio provoked Ash and Pikachu to blast them off, and with that Ditto was returned to the studio.
InA Little Rocket R & R!, Team Rocket was ordered to go on vacation to theResort Area inSinnoh. However, the reward was a ploy by Matori and her agents, who planned to steal many Pokémon from the Resort Area. After overhearing her insulting them, the four decided to get their revenge by helping Ash and Goh free the Pokémon. The subsequent battle quickly turned against Matori and her unit, and whenOfficer Jenny arrived, they retreated.
InMad About Blue!, Wobbuffet was presented to the Do-Blue Fanatics, who were enamored by his blue skin. Their obssession over it caused the Patient Pokémon to become unnerved and ran off. When Team Rocket caught up to him, Meowth learned that he was scared. Despite their attempts to calm him down, Wobbuffet grabbed his Poké Ball andrecalled himself, much to their surprise.
InShowdown at the Gates of Warp!, Wobbuffetdevolved intoWynaut as a result of a clash betweenDialga andPalkia distorting time. AfterArceus stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, theTemporal and Spatial Pokémon repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.
InRadio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!, Team Rocket was ordered by Giovanni to recruit new members for Team Rocket. They figured radio was the best method, and as a result, started a new late-night radio show. However, after their first episode, they discovered not a single person tuned in to listen. The second episode went no better, and as a result, they gave the show a major overhaul. Through many changes, Team Rocket's radio program started to become more and more popular, but along the way, they forgot about the goal of recruitment. They were later scolded by Giovanni for this, though they occasionally did the show for fun.
InThe Road Most Traveled!, Jessie briefly used Wobbuffet to battleAsh's Noivern. Despite managing to repel theSound Wave Pokémon'sBoomburst attack with Mirror Coat, Ash immediately usedDonphan to cancel out his counterattack.
InRocket Revengers!, Wobbuffet reunited with Team Rocket's Pokémon that had been residing atTeam Rocket HQ. Realizing the potential of such a large group, the team hatched a scheme to isolate Ash's Pikachu and capture him. Wobbuffet was one of the many Pokémon that waited at the end of the trap, where it watched as Team Rocket attempted to ambush the Mouse Pokémon. When everyone launched a group attack that Pikachu dodged, Wobbuffet shot it back with Mirror Coat to protect his Trainer. Eventually, a wildLatias that had been following Ash intervened and sent the evil group blasting off.
Personality and characteristics
Wobbuffet is used occasionally for battles. Its knowledge of moves likeCounter andMirror Coat comes in handy, since Team Rocket often find themselves on the receiving end of powerful attacks. Despite being powerful, Wobbuffet sees only infrequent use in battles.
Wobbuffet usually serves as a comic relief character due to his goofy, energetic, and looney personality. He emerges from hisPoké Ball frequently as a running gag, and often at inappropriate moments which frustrates Jessie at times. Team Rocket has also hadvarious vehicles and robots based on him. James once remarked that he makesMisty's Psyduck look like a genius. Wobbuffet is also noted for his inability to recognize awild Wynaut as a member of his own evolutionary line in Wynaut'sdebut episode.
Even though Jessie often seems annoyed with Wobbuffet, she was shown to truly care for him. This is showcased in a handful of episodes, includingWho, What, When, Where, Wynaut?, in which Wobbuffet temporarily went missing. Jessie was very worried and desperately went searching for him on the island. Another instance was inDealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama! where Jessie was upset atJames's idea to send Wobbuffet toGiovanni since they couldn't tell him apart fromNarissa'sDitto. Even though Wobbuffet has been absent, he has still been shown to be doing his comical pose every time Team Rocket do their motto.
Wobbuffet also seems to care for Jessie deeply and see her as a motherly figure. This can be seen inThe Wayward Wobbuffet, when he was lost and imagined a cloud in the shape of Jessie, childishly clapping with joy after noticing it. Even so, his loyalty has sometimes been in question, such as inFear Factor Phony, where he temporarily left the group to hang out with somePsychic-type Pokémon and even single-handedly stopped Team Rocket's plan to steal Pokémon. Since his return, Wobbuffet has taken back his role as the "fourth member" of the team. He also seems to get more battling time now, and his capability of reflecting attacks has proven useful many times. Before Jessie caught herPumpkaboo, Wobbuffet was her major battler, and did rather well, despite his incapability of using offensive moves. ByA Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!, he was shown to have become very close to Jessie, as seen when he chose to stay with her over a female Wobbuffet.
Wobbuffet appears to be good friends with Meowth. This was demonstrated when he was the only one to notice that anAlolanMeowth was not simply Team Rocket's Meowth covered in mud, whilst Jessie and James mistook it as that. Later, following an encounter between Meowth andMimikyu's true form, Wobbuffet was the only member to snap Meowth out of his horror and teared up in joy when Meowth recovered.
As seen inMad About Blue, Wobbuffet is shown to be under pressure after the Pokémon fanatics try to examine him due to his blue appearance.

During the ending credits, he popped out of hisPoké Ball whileJessie,James, andMeowth were in their Meowth balloon. He emerged from below Meowth, causing him to nearly fall out of the balloon.
InThe Power of Us, Jessie called for Wobbuffet's assistance as they fled fromToren's lab with a bottle ofEffect Spore extract.Ash andPikachu chased after the trio, though Wobbuffet'sMirror Coat allowed them to escape. Later, Team Rocket and Wobbuffet sought shelter in the localPokémon Center after the stolen Effect Spore leaked and sparked a large fire.

Trivia
- Wobbuffet was the firsttradedPokémon to become a part of the main cast.
- ForDP024,Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia is about Jessie's Wobbuffet. He writes thissenryū about him: 「きがつけば なのりもやってる ソーナンス」"He's introducing himself before you realize,Sonans."
- UntilDuplica pointed out the existence and effect ofMirror Coat to Jessie, she always told Wobbuffet to useCounter to deflect attacks. Depending on the move, Wobbuffet would "do what he had to do to defend himself". After this, due to Jessie having trouble distinguishing the two moves, she would instead commonly tell Wobbuffet to counterthat attack, seemingly letting him decide what to do himself.
- Wobbuffet spent 511 consecutive episodes as a part of Jessie'sparty, making him the Pokémon to have spent the most time on a main character's party before leaving, more than twocompleteseries together, and spending the third-most time as a main cast member, afterPikachu andMeowth.
- Wobbuffet is the onlyGeneration II Pokémon currently owned by Team Rocket.
- Wobbuffet is the only one of Team Rocket's Pokémon:
- To be obtained in Johto, not counting temporary Pokémon.
- To be in his Trainer's active party for more than three series.
- To appear at least once in everyseries they are main characters in, not countingMeowth as he belongs to neither Jessie nor James.
- Used in theoriginal series to still be owned by them.
- Wobbuffet is the first of Team Rocket's Pokémon to return to his Trainer'sparty after previously leaving.
- Wobbuffet has been to nine different coreregions, more than any other Pokémon belonging to a main character.
- InA Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!, it was confirmed that Wobbuffet is male. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, as Wobbuffet was caught before gender differences were introduced and the female variant had not yet appeared up until that episode.
- Aside fromAsh's Pikachu, Wobbuffet has appeared in the most episodes out of any Pokémon belonging to a main character, at 722 main series episodes.
