In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Jessie used Wobbuffet against [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] to try and see which of them would steal a {{an|Lugia}}. The attacks from both sides of Team Rocket's Pokémon ended up breaking the energy barrier holding Lugia captive, and it blasted them all away.

Wobbuffet ran away from the group in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' after a fake ghost made by some Ghost Pokémon scared him off. While he was running away, he saw a {{p|Kirlia}} dancing and fell in love with it. When Team Rocket caught Pikachu and Kirlia, Wobbuffet jumped after it into the mecha and broke Kirlia and its Psychic Pokémon friends free from Team Rocket's capture. Entirely thanks to Wobbuffet, Team Rocket's plan was completely ruined.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Wobbuffet at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket's headquarters}} as he is not a Pokémon native in the [[Unova]] region and would attract attention.

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 reappeared as a member of Jessie's team in the {{series|XY}}, where he was shown to be much more competent in battle. 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 ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Wobbuffet battled against [[Team Flare]], who tried capturing [[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 faced Team Flare again in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', this time against [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Drapion}} and [[Mable]]'s {{p|Weavile}} in [[Lysandre Labs]]. He managed to deflect their attacks with Mirror Coat, allowing James to capture the two Scientists and their Pokémon in a net.

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. However, Mareanie launched a barrage of {{m|Spike Cannon}}s so relentless that Wobbuffet was unable to counter every single hit. This caused him to eventually lose, subsequently eliminating Jessie from the tournament.
