Strategy Overview

When looking at Wynaut, you'll probably be asking yourself why this cute little creature was banished to the forbidden land of Ubers. With terrible stats and the fact that Wobbuffet completely and utterly outclasses it, really the only reason Wynaut is banned from standard play is its access to the taboo combo of Shadow Tag and Encore. However, it does have a minor perk over its big brother Wobbuffet in that it has lower defensive stats, allowing it to activate Custap Berry faster, which, in and of itself, is a gimmick. When it comes down to it, Wobbuffet is always the better option on a serious team, but then again, why not use Wynaut?
