In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Benny was searching for someone to trade Wobbuffet with for a stronger Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] in [[Palmpona]]. He was not successful at first, though a Trainer with a {{p|Stantler}} seemed to like his offer, but then bailed for a {{p|Hoothoot}} at the last minute. Jessie's Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} then accidentally fell into the machine instead when she crashed into it. Unbeknownst to her, Lickitung got swapped for Wobbuffet. | ||

Wobbuffet went with Jessie, James, and Meowth to Sinnoh in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' where he countered Meowth's {{m|Fury Swipes}} after an argument with Jessie. As a result, he sent Team Rocket blasting off and Pikachu falling in the forest. In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', Wobbuffet participated in catching [[Brock'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, and {{TP|James|Mime 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. | Wobbuffet went with Jessie, James, and Meowth to Sinnoh in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' where he countered Meowth's {{m|Fury Swipes}} after an argument with Jessie.

After being sent out with a [[Seal|Flora Seal]], Wobbuffet ran straight towards Jessie and used Counter, which sent her flying sky high. The performance failed to impress the panel of judges and, when the results were announced, Jessie was not among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s. | ||
In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', Wobbuffet was used in the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose winner would get the chance to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. For the competition, Jessie asked James to come up with some stylish [[Accessory|accessories]] for her Pokémon, which James did by designing a necklace that was suitable for Wobbuffet's [[List of Pokémon by body style|body style]]. 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 judges [[Paris]] and [[Hermione]] did not appreciate Wobbuffet's look. As a result, Wobbuffet was not among the three finalists of the competition. | |||
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Jessie sent out Wobbuffet and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} to {{pkmn|training|practice}} for [[Pokémon Contest]]s which follow the [[Double Performance]] format. She commanded Wobbuffet to deflect Yanmega's {{m|Silver Wind}} with Mirror Coat. However, this failed and the [[Team Rocket trio]] was sent blasting off. | |||

Strangely, the three of these shorts take place during the {{series|BW}}, which Wobbuffet is normally absent from for the aforementioned reasons. It should be noted, however, that these shorts call into question their [[canon]]icity with the main anime series altogether. | ||
Wobbuffet's only appearance in a ''Best Wishes'' series episode was in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. After returning to [[Kanto]] and giving away their Unova Pokémon to {{an|Giovanni}} 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 in [[Pallet Town]], leaving for [[Kalos]] with them and marking his return to Jessie's team. | Wobbuffet's only appearance in a ''Best Wishes'' series episode was in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Wobbuffet was used in a battle against Pikachu, where he almost defeated Pikachu by returning his {{m|Thunderbolt}} right back at him with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. However, a wild {{AP|Froakie}} came in and defended Pikachu from a reflected {{m|Electro 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, and [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. | ||

In ''[[XY063|A 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 a {{p|Gloom}}, he was rescued by [[Dr. 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's {{p|Wynaut}} to help Team Rocket to fight a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|XY063}}, he appeared at the last second to deflect the Pokémon hunter's {{p|Rhyperior}}'s attacks. Afterwards, Team Rocket's Pokémon, as well as Pikachu and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} combined their attacks to defeat Rhyperior. The Pokémon hunter was arrested by Dr. White and [[Beatrice]], and Wobbuffet and Team Rocket left to continue following Ash and his friends. | |||
In ''[[XY079|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Wobbuffet was used in the [[Dendemille Town]] Rookie Class [[Pokémon Showcase]]. In the Theme Performance, he and Meowth helped Jessie to make PokéPuffs and managed to proceed to the next round. During the Free Performances, 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 was well received by the audience, Jessie ended up in fifth place. | |||
In ''[[ | In ''[[XY100|A Dancing Debut!]]'', Wobbuffet aided Jessie in making Poké Puffs during the Theme Performances of the [[Couriway Town]] Rookie Class Pokémon Showcase and managed to help Jessie proceed to the next round. Later, he was used again during the Free Performance round along with {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}. After using Counter to let Jessie bounce in the air, he reflected Gourgeist's {{m|Shadow Ball}} with Mirror Coat to create a collision with {{m|Seed Bomb}}, resulting in amazing fireworks. In the end, their performance received the most votes from the audience, making Jessie the winner and earning her first [[Princess Key]]. | ||
In [[XY106]], Wobbuffet battled against [[Team Flare]], who tried capturing {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Z2}}, where he used Mirror Coat to deflect [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Dragon 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 usually serves as a comic relief character. He emerges from his [[Poké Ball]] frequently as a running gag, and often at inappropriate times which frustrated Jessie at times. Team Rocket has also had [[Team Rocket's mechas|various vehicles and robots]] based on him.[[File:Wobbuffet pop out.png|thumb|250px | Wobbuffet usually serves as a comic relief character.

Even though Jessie often seems annoyed with Wobbuffet, she was shown to truly care for him. This is showcased in a handful of episodes, including ''[[AG113|Who, 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 in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' where Jessie was upset at [[James]]'s idea to send Wobbuffet to {{an|Giovanni}} since they couldn't tell him apart from [[Narissa]]'s {{p|Ditto}}. Even though Wobbuffet has been absent, he still been shown to be doing his comical pose every time Team Rocket do their motto. | Even though Jessie often seems annoyed with Wobbuffet, she was shown to truly care for him.
