Wobbuffet's name is a combination of ''wobble'' and ''buffet'', meaning to strike repeatedly, possibly referring to its action of slapping its own forehead.

It is based on the late Japanese comedian 林家三平 ''Sanpei Hayashiya'', who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, そうなんす、奥さん ''sō na-n-su, okusan'', "That's the way it is, ma'am."

In the anime

EP173 featured a town in which everyone owned a Wobbuffet.

In the manga

In the TCG

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

When released from a Pokéball, Wobbuffet will stand on the stage in one place. Anyone attacking or running into it will be damaged by its Counter, including the player who threw the Pokéball.

Wobbuffet is also a Pokéfloat. It appears on its side and never fully reveals itself. When it first appears, it will quickly return off-screen but will then come back and remain to allow for fighting to take place on top of it.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen
It hates light and shock. If attacked, it inflates its body to pump up its counterstrike.
Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed
To keep its pitchblack tail hidden, it lives quietly in the darkness. It is never first to attack.
Pokémon Ruby
If two or more Wobbuffet meet, they will turn competitive and try to outdo the other's endurance. However, they may try to see which one can endure the longest without food. Trainers need to beware of this habit.
Pokémon Sapphire
Wobbuffet does nothing but endure attacks - it won't attack on its own. However, it won't endure an attack on its tail. When that happens, the Pokémon will try to take the foe with it using Destiny Bond.
Pokémon Emerald
Usually docile, a Wobbuffet strikes back ferociously if its black tail is attacked. It makes its lair in caves where it waits for nightfall.

Trivia

Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its pre-evolution, Wynaut, ソーナノ Sohnano, makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "that's the way it is" followed by "really?", and so on, as seen in Camp Pikachu.

In addition, its form and available moves are based on a punching bag; that is, when it is hit, it bounces back.

Name origin
