This Wobbuffet first appeared in [[Original series|''Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver'']], the portions of the original series set in [[Johto]], and he has appeared in all subsequent series. Prior to [[Jessie]], Wobbuffet had one known {{pkmn|Trainer}}, {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}.

Wobbuffet first appeared in [[EP146|EP146, ''Tricks of the Trade'']], when he was traded to [[Jessie]].
 
In many ways, Wobbuffet acts as a fourth member of the [[Team Rocket trio]]. Wobbuffet has appeared in the {{motto|Team Rocket motto}} since ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]''. Though Wobbuffet first appeared before {{MTR}} in the motto (usually upsetting Meowth), he began appearing right after Meowth some episodes later. Wobbuffet could often be heard crying out following the "Team Rocket is blasting off again!" line, even if he was not out of his [[Poké Ball]] when the team blasted off.

[[File:Wobbuffet initial appearance.png|thumb|200px|right|Wobbuffet's first appearance, with original {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}]]
Wobbuffet originally belonged to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}. 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.
 
At the beginning of ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Wobbuffet had a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}. Benny wanted to trade Wobbuffet for a stronger Pokémon at the {{pkmn|Swap Meet}} in [[Palmpona]]. While not successful at first, Benny found a Trainer with a {{p|Stantler}} who seemed to like his offer; however, this trainer chose instead to trade for a {{p|Hoothoot}} at the last minute. [[Jessie]] then accidentally crashed into the trading machine, and the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell into the machine—trading her Lickitung to Benny for Wobbuffet.

Later, in ''Tricks of the Trade'', after the trade had commenced, Jessie wanted to send out her Lickitung to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Much to her surprise, Wobbuffet appeared instead. [[James]] then immediately looked up his moves for Jessie. Even though Wobbuffet had no offensive attacks, he managed to counter {{AP|Chikorita}}'s attacks back to her. Nevertheless, Wobbuffet was still blasted off along with the [[Team Rocket trio]] by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. 


Later in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', [[Jessie]] tried to send out her {{tp|Jessie|Lickitung}} to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Much to her surprise, Wobbuffet appeared instead. Though Wobbuffet had no offensive attacks, he managed to counter {{AP|Chikorita}}'s attacks back to her. Nevertheless, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} caused Wobbuffet to blast off with the [[Team Rocket trio]]. Wobbuffet stayed with Jessie and Team Rocket through the remainder of the [[original series]].
Ever since ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', Wobbuffet had his place in the {{motto|Team Rocket motto}}, first before {{MTR}} (which usually left him very upset), and some episodes later, right after Meowth. He could often be heard crying out subsequent to the "Team Rocket is blasting off again!" line, even if he was not out of his Poké Ball when the team was sent blasting off. Wobbuffet was thus somewhat a fourth team member.


In ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]'', Wobbuffet popped out of his [[Poké Ball]] and redirected {{MTR}}'s attack back to himself. This redirection gave Jessie the idea of building a [[Team Rocket's mechas#Original series|Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet]], which would counter any attack back to the user similar to Wobbuffet's {{m|Counter}}. This mecha appeared later in the episode, though it was destroyed by Ash's {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Chikorita}}.
One time, in ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]'', Wobbuffet popped out of his Poké Ball and redirected Meowth's attack back to himself. This gave Jessie the idea of building a Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet, which would counter any attack back to the user similar to Wobbuffet's {{m|Counter}}.


In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket came across [[Wobbuffet Village]] during the village's annual [[Wobbuffet Festival]]. Jessie's Wobbuffet popped out of his Poké Ball, much to the villagers' excitement. When the [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]] showed up to attack the assembled Wobbuffet, Jessie sent out her own Wobbuffet to battle them. Jessie's Wobbuffet, using its Counter and {{m|Mirror Coat}}, single-handedly took out the festival crashers' Pokémon.

The [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]] then showed up to attack the Wobbuffet and Jessie sent out her own Wobbuffet to battle them. Jessie's single-handedly took out the Wobbuffet Festival crashers' Pokémon with the use of Counter and Mirror Coat.


In ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Wobbuffet battled [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}}, Mini-Dit. Mini-Dit {{m|transform}}ed into Wobbuffet and used its moveset to battle Wobbuffet and {{tp|Jessie|Arbok}}. As a result, Wobbuffet ended up losing to his miniature counterpart.

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 then 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 then 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.
