In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, if two Pokémon have no usable moves other than {{m|Struggle}}, it may or may not be possible to indefinitely recover the [[HP]] lost by repeately using a held serving of [[Leftovers]] depending on the [[stats]] of each Pokémon. This is due to the fact that Struggle's [[recoil]] is 1/4 of the damage dealt in these generations and Leftovers restores 1/16 of the holder's HP every turn. | In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, if two Pokémon have no usable moves other than {{m|Struggle}}, it may or may not be possible to indefinitely recover the [[HP]] lost by repeately using a held serving of [[Leftovers]] depending on the [[stats]] of each Pokémon.

In these generations, if two {{p|Wobbuffet}} are holding Leftovers, this causes an endless battle due to Wobbuffet's low attack and high HP. Wobbuffet has no damaging moves other than countering moves, therefore two Wobbuffet battling each other have no option but to spend their entire PP until they start using Struggle. | In these generations, if two opposing {{p|Wobbuffet}} are holding Leftovers, this causes an endless battle due to Wobbuffet's low attack and high HP.

In Generation III, Wobbuffet's only available Ability is {{a|Shadow Tag}}, which [[escape prevention|prevents the opponent from escaping]] (the player would be unable to exchange them by other Pokémon in battle). From [[Generation IV]] onwards, when two opposing Pokémon have Shadow Tag, they are able to escape the battle nonetheless. | |||
Similarly, an endless battle is possible between a {{p|Wobbuffet}} and a Pokémon with {{m|Transform}} (such as {{p|Ditto}} or {{p|Mew}}), both holding Leftovers, once the latter Pokémon transforms into Wobbuffet as well. | Similarly, an endless battle is possible between a {{p|Wobbuffet}} and a Pokémon with {{m|Transform}} (such as {{p|Ditto}} or {{p|Mew}}), both holding Leftovers, once the latter Pokémon transforms into Wobbuffet as well. | ||
