Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan-colored {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|blob-like creature}} with a black tail that has two eye-spots on it. Wobbuffet has flipper-like arms and a crooked expression on its face, as opposed to the perpetual smile that {{p|Wynaut|its pre-evolved form}} has. Its face, as with Wynaut, is an east Asian {{wp|emote#Asian style|emote}}. It also walks on four stubby legs at its base.
Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan-colored blob-shaped Pokémon with a black tail that has two eye-spots on it. Wobbuffet has flipper-like arms and a crooked expression on its face. A female Wobuffet has a lipstick-like mark on its mouth. Its face appears like an east Asian {{wp|emote#Asian style|emote}}. It also walks on four stubby legs at its base. Wobbuffet seems to be highly skilled at countering enemy attacks. It is also greatly tolerant of enemy attacks and can endure more attacks than most other Pokémon. If it is knocked out, it is capable of taking the attacker down with it, although it will usually only attempt this if its tail is attacked. It is typically a stoic Pokémon, but it hates light and shock.


====Gender differences====
In a battle, Wobbuffet never makes the first move. Its preferred style of battling mainly consists of counterattacks, depending entirely on how harshly foes damage it. It will inflate its body in order to do so. Wobbuffet is very protective of its tail, to the point where one will suddenly turn uncharacteristically aggressive if its tail is targeted by an enemy. When two or more Wobbuffet meet, they tend to turn competitive in some kind of play and will often try to test each other's endurance. These tests of endurance can include a competition to see who can go the longest without eating, which their Trainers should be wary about. Owing mainly to their overprotective nature where their pitch-black tails are concerned, as well as their hatred of light, Wobbuffet live in dark places, usually {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, in order to keep their tails perpetually hidden. It can also be found near bodies of water that are surrounded by forests.
Female Wobbuffet appear to be wearing lipstick.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Owing mainly to their overprotective nature where their pitch-black tails are concerned, as well as their hatred of light, Wobbuffet live in dark places, usually caves, in order to keep their tails perpetually hidden. Some can be found near bodies of water, namely lakes [[Lake Acuity|Acuity]], [[Lake Valor|Valor]], and [[Lake Verity|Verity]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Since these lakes are surrounded by dense forests and Wobbuffet that live near these lakes can only be lured into appearing before Trainers by the [[Poké Radar]], it can be implied that Wobbuffet will also live in forests, provided that they are dense and dark enough to hide their tails. There is also a large population of Wobbuffet in [[Wobbuffet Village]] seen in ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza]]'', where most residents have a Wobbuffet. Every year, the village holds the [[Wobbuffet Festival]] to honor the spirit of the Wobbuffet.
