Wobbuffet (Japanese: ソーナンス Sonans) was the only Pokémon caught by Jessie of Team Rocket during her travels through Johto. His voice actor in Japanese is 上田 祐司 Yūji Ueda, and his English voice actor is unknown.
Jessie obtained Wobbuffet in the episode Tricks of the Trade after accidentally trading her Lickitung for him. Wobbuffet's previous trainer was a boy named Benny who had trained Wobbuffet hard but wanted to try training a new Pokémon.
Wobbuffet occasionally battles, but since he cannot initiate attacks, he must wait to be attacked first. This comes in handy, since Team Rocket often finds itself on the receiving end of powerful Pokémon attacks. He serves as more of a comic effect character, emerging from his Poké Ball frequently and often at inappropriate times, effectively annoying Jessie. Since the episode Tunnel Vision, Wobbuffet has his place in the Team Rocket motto, right after Meowth. His Japanese name is fitting for his role, as its name (Sōnansu) means "It is so," equivalent to Meowth's "That's right!" This also serves as a joke when he shouts his name after Team Rocket comes up with an idea or plan- it is as if he is agreeing with them. Another joke involving his Japanese name is his interactions with his Baby form, Wynaut. Wynaut's name in Japanese, Sōnano, means "really?", so a Sonans-Sonano conversation can understandably go on for an extended period of time.
Although Jessie often seems annoyed with Wobbuffet, she truly cares for him. This is showcased in a handful of episodes, including Wynaut of Mirage Island!, in which Wobbuffet temporarily went missing. Jessie was very worried and desperately went searching for him on the island.
Episodes primarily featuring Wobbuffet are Wobbu-Palooza, in which Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket came across a festival honoring Wobbuffet and Jessie's Wobbuffet saved the day, and The Wayward Wobbuffet, in which Wobbuffet became separated from Jessie and went on an action-packed adventure. Team Rocket have also had various vehicles and robots based on him, like the Wobbu-Warrior.
In AG146, Wobbuffet fell in love with a Kirlia, giving her a flower and rescuing her from the rest of Team Rocket.
