Wobbuffet's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Wobbuffet PvE Analysis

The Psychic type has some of the strongest Pokémon in the game, boasting quite a high ATK stat on average. With a meager 60 ATK, Wobbuffet falls short of this discussion altogether.

However, it also has a massive HP of 382, instantly making it a contender for Gym defense.

⚔️ Raids

Don't even try using Wobbuffet in 1-Star Raids. The damage output is exceedingly low.

🛡️ Gyms

Wobbuffet is not at the level of Blissey in Gym defense but its huge HP does make it great, especially because it would deplete slowly. This results in less Candy required to be fed and a long-lasting defense at all times.

Wobbuffet PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Wobbuffet is bulky enough to stand ground and with Counter in its moveset, it actually pulls off wins over Bastiodon, Diggersby, Dunsparce, Lapras, and Empoleon! That doesn't make Wobbuffet a worthy Great League Pokémon by any means but that schtick makes it a memorable contender for this format!

Wobbuffet maxes out at only 1160 CP, making it inadequate for the Ultra and Master League.
