In ''[[EP192|The 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, were separated from Jessie and went on an action-packed adventure. He soon bumped into a thief named [[Goneff]], 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 his {{AP|Totodile}} went with them only for Totodile to get badly hurt by {{p|Golem}}. 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 out {{AP|Noctowl}} to get the key from Wobbuffet and Pikachu was freed from the Poké Pod.

In ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', Wobbuffet was entered into the [[Sumo Conference]], facing off against a Trainer's {{p|Ursaring}}. He was able to make quick work of his opponent with Counter, but was disqualified due to [[Shonosuke]] noticing the use of the move.

In ''[[SM122|Spying 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.

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.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Jessie used Wobbuffet in her [[Manalo Conference]] battle against James. With his ability to counter any move, Wobbuffet initially had the upper hand against Mareanie.

This caused him to eventually lose, subsequently eliminating Jessie from the tournament.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', Team Rocket encountered a movie-star {{p|Ditto}} who'd run away due to its inability to properly {{m|Transform}} and its [[Kublock|Trainer's]] short temper.

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.

The subsequent battle quickly turned against Matori and her unit, and when [[Officer Jenny]] arrived, they retreated.

Wobbuffet is used occasionally for battles. Its knowledge of moves like {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} comes in handy, since Team Rocket often find themselves on the receiving end of powerful attacks. 
Wobbuffet is used occasionally for battles. Its knowledge of moves like {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror 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 his {{i|Poké Ball}} frequently as a running gag, and often at inappropriate moments which frustrated Jessie at times. Team Rocket has also had [[Team Rocket's mechas|various vehicles and robots]] based on him. James once remarked that he makes [[Misty's Psyduck]] look like a genius. Wobbuffet is also noted for his inability to recognize a {{pkmn2|wild}} Wynaut as a member of his own evolutionary family in Wynaut's [[EP255|debut 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, 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 has still been shown to be doing his comical pose every time Team Rocket do their motto.
