It desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden. This behavior is said to be proof that its tail hides a secret.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Wobbuffet Best Moveset

max HP and Defense EVs and Impish nature turn Wobbuffet into a wall that doesn't fold easily. Rocky Helmet brings chip damage on every physical hit received for the long game, and the moveset handles sustain. Shadowtag fills in the gaps.

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 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, Wynaut evolves into Wobbuffet at level 15. Wobbuffet is the fully evolved form. It sits at 405 BST in its evolved form.

  • 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. Encore with Rocky Helmet 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.

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.
