Jessie's Wobbuffet: Difference between revisions

==History==

[[File:Wobbuffet initial appearance.png|thumb|200px|left|Wobbuffet's first appearance, under the ownership of Benny]]

Wobbuffet originally belonged to a Trainer named {{jo|Benny}}. 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]]. Benny was not successful at first, though a Trainer with a {{p|Stantler}} seemed to 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.

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

In ''[[EP192|The Wayward Wobbuffet]]'', Wobbuffet was tasked the job to guard the Poké Pod containing Ash's Pikachu. During the chase to get the Pod, Wobbuffet, along with the Pod and the key to it, went serperate from Jessie and went on an action-packed adventure. It bumped into a thief named [[Goneff]] who was not happy with Wobbuffet bumping into his vehicle. However, Goneff took Wobbuffet hostage. Team Rocket then dug a hole and headed to the warehouse Goneff was hiding from underground to rescue Wobbuffet. Ash and his {{AP|Totodile}} went with them only for Totodile to get badly hurt by Golem. When Golem was about to finish off Totodile, Wobbuffet jumped in the way and sent Golem flying to its Trainer. Ash was then able to get the Poké Pod back but Wobbuffet still had the key as it flew away along with the Team Rocket trio on the Wobbuffet-shaped balloon. Ash sent out {{AP|Noctowl}} to get the key from Wobbuffet, however. Noctowl was successful and Pikachu was freed from the Poké Pod.

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

Jessie relied on Wobbuffet more often in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, including during their participation in the [[Wallace Cup]]. However, it often did not do well similar to the ones in Kanto.
