Accidentally trading her Lickitung for it, Wobbuffet has become a staple Pokémon of Team Rocket, essentially a fourth team member.

However Wobbuffet's loyalty to Jessie has sometimes been in question, such as when it defended a Kirlia that it was in love with. Wobbuffet is not a battling Pokémon by nature, but has been known to hold its own in battles with Ash & Co, Contest Battles and even a battle against Articuno.
