Wobbuffet

If you attack it, it attacks back, regardless of friends or foes. It’s kind of like a punching bag? Wobbuffet (, Sonans) is a creature in the media franchise.

Origin
is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #202 as the "Patient Pokémon". It is notable for being, along with its pre-evolution, the only Pokémon unable to learn any damaging move whatsoever (with the exception of the emergency move ): its only way to directly damage its opponent is by counterattacking with or , or forcing a mutual KO with.

is a Fighting-type move. When its user is hit by an opponent's physical move, it deals double the damage received, without taking into account weaknesses or resistance. Wobbuffet knows the move by default.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Wobbuffet appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Wobbuffet uses Counter as its attack. Wobbuffet rocks back and forth when the player attacks it or hits it with an item. Any character that makes contact with Wobbuffet's Counter will take damage. If Wobbuffet hasn't been hit, contact with it will still cause very minor knockback, but will cause no damage. The power of Wobbuffet's Counter attack varies. If Wobbuffet is hit with a weak attack, it won't wobble a lot and will deal a small amount of damage. If Wobbuffet is hit with a strong attack, it will wobble more intensely and Counter will then cause more damage. Also, characters can get trapped in a Wobbuffet's Counter if it is not too powerful. Wobbuffet's attack harms both opponents and the summoner.

Only certain types of items, namely battering and explosive items, will affect Wobbuffet. Other Pokémon will also not affect it, with the exception of Electrode (from the explosion) and another Wobbuffet (but only when it initially spawns and when it raises its arm to perform its cry). Containers will take damage, but will not cause Wobbuffet to wobble. Green and Red Shells won't affect it unless they are moving across the ground.

In the Event Match Legendary Pokémon, Wobbuffet is the only non-Legendary Pokémon that will come out of Poké Balls, and while every legendary has their appearance rate doubled, Wobbuffet will appear for the remaining percentage of appearance rate. Wobbuffet's appearance as a common Pokémon in this event match is to discourage other characters from expecting a powerful legendary Pokémon. However, Wobbuffet can be useful in this Event Match. Characters that have a high damage percentage can be KO'd, with the Fighting Wire Frames that appear in the Event Match also struggling to avoid Counter.

As a stage element
A giant balloon of Wobbuffet (in actuality, the 3D model of Wobbuffet used in  for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and moving "platforms" that make the Poké Floats stage. It appears from the side horizontally and jerkily.

Trophy
Wobbuffet is featured as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various single-player Regular Matches.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Wobbuffet returns to reprise its role from Melee, with a few changes. Instead of dealing no damage when it isn't wobbling, it will now always deal at least 1%. It can now be hit by most items, including other Poké Ball Pokémon. Finally, its head glows pink when stricken and its voice clip was changed.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Wobbuffet doesn't appear as a Poké Ball Pokémon, but rather as a spirit.
