Wynaut

Access to Shadow Tag and a couple of supportive options make Wynaut seem somewhat usable in double Shadow Tag teams to double down on threats with Wobbuffet. Wynaut’s lower bulk allows it to punish weak hits harder than Wobbuffet, making it able to take down Latias and Latios. It is able to use Encore to lock a foe into an attack to ensure that it does not become setup fodder. However, Wynaut has a wide array of issues that come with using it on a team. Mainly, Wynaut is directly inferior to Wobbuffet, which can better fulfill the role of a trapper, due to its much better bulk allowing it to retaliate against stronger hits. Wynaut’s horrid bulk causes it to faint against many threats such as Groudon, Kyogre, Deoxys-A, Ho-Oh, and Rayquaza. In addition to this, double trapper teams as a whole are niche. Because of this, along with its extremely passive nature, it is quite reliant on reads to make any notable impact within a match. Wynaut also faces the issue of not being able to hold Leftovers to soften up any blows that it takes. Overall, Wynaut is a terrible Pokemon, and should never be considered for use on a serious team.
