* Wobbuffet was banned from many unofficial tournaments until Generation V, due to its unique moveset and Ability, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, making it somewhat difficult to counter. | * Wobbuffet was banned from many unofficial tournaments until Generation V, due to its unique moveset and Ability, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, making it somewhat difficult to counter. | ||
* Before [[Generation IV]], Wobbuffet could not damage a {{t|Ghost}}- or {{type|Dark}} Pokémon (without the use of Struggle) that uses an attack of its own type because all Ghost moves were physical (the Ghost type is immune to {{m|Counter}}) and all Dark moves were special (the Dark type is immune to {{m|Mirror Coat}}). It is still not possible for Wobbuffet to counter the Ghost/Dark typed {{p|Sableye}} or {{p|Spiritomb}} without the assistance of another Pokémon using moves such as {{m|Foresight}} and/or {{m|Miracle Eye}} first. | * Before [[Generation IV]], Wobbuffet could not damage a {{t|Ghost}}- or {{type|Dark}} Pokémon (without the use of Struggle) that uses an attack of its own type because all Ghost moves were physical (the Ghost type is immune to {{m|Counter}}) and all Dark moves were special (the Dark type is immune to {{m|Mirror Coat}}).

* In [[Generation III]], if two Wobbuffet with Leftovers are facing each other in a Single Battle, the battle will become endless as all of Wobbuffet's moves do not directly damage the opponent, and the player cannot switch to their other Pokémon due to {{a|Shadow Tag}}. Even if the Wobbuffet use {{m|Struggle}}, the damage will be healed quickly by Leftovers. Shadow Tag and Struggle were both changed in [[Generation IV]], likely as a direct response to this scenario. | * In [[Generation III]], if two Wobbuffet with Leftovers are facing each other in a Single Battle, the battle will become endless as all of Wobbuffet's moves do not directly damage the opponent, and the player cannot switch to their other Pokémon due to {{a|Shadow Tag}}.
