Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Gold
- It hates light and shock. If attacked, it inflates its body to pump up its counterstrike.
- Silver
- To keep its pitchblack tail hidden, it lives quietly in the darkness. It is never first to attack.
- Crystal
- In order to conceal its black tail, it lives in a dark cave and only moves about at night.
- Ruby
- If two or more WOBBUFFET meet, they will turn competitive and try to outdo each other's endurance. However, they may try to see which one can endure the longest without food. TRAINERS need to beware of this habit.
- Sapphire
- WOBBUFFET does nothing but endure attacks - it won't attack on its own. However, it won't endure an attack on its tail. When that happens, the POKéMON will try to take the foe with it using DESTINY BOND.
- Emerald
- Usually docile, a WOBBUFFET strikes back ferociously if its black tail is attacked. It makes its lair in caves where it waits for nightfall.
- Fire Red
- To keep its pitch-black tail hidden, it lives quietly in the darkness. It is never first to attack.
- Leaf Green
- It hates light and shock. If attacked, it inflates its body to pump up its counterstrike.
