Strategy Overview

With the Shadow Tag ban in OU, Wobbuffet became completely worthless. Without Shadow Tag, Wobbuffet is easily played around by every offensive Pokemon. It is also crippled by Toxic and other forms of residual damage like sand, entry hazards, and status from Pokemon such as Politoed, Ferrothorn, and Jellicent. It should never be used in any serious match. If one must use Wobbuffet, it should be used strictly as death fodder.
