====[[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]====
[[Jessie]] has a Wobbuffet that frequently emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] to shout its name or cause what Jessie considers to be trouble. It has appeared in almost every episode since she accidentally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for it in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''. She rarely uses Wobbuffet in battle, but when she does, the results are generally good. On the other hand, Jessie's few attempts at using Wobbuffet in Contests have all had negative results. It was left at Team Rocket's headquarters prior to Jessie, [[James]] and {{MTR}}'s departure to the [[Unova]] region. It was later reunited with Jessie when the trio returned to Kanto, and it was the only one of Jessie's Pokémon to accompany her to the [[Kalos]] region.
