Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Attack.

Defense and Sp. Def share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

The stats describe a physical wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Defense stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side.

  • Bold +Def · −Atk Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Attack — a stat it does not use anyway.
  • Relaxed +Def · −Spe The same defensive gain, paid for with Speed it does not have anyway. Under Trick Room the drop becomes an advantage.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (18)

All Wobbuffet cards →

Wobbuffet has 18 cards in 16 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 57 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
