Why is Wobbuffet an UBER

[SneazzL.com]

The Title says it

 

[zeppelin]

it depends on the moveset...if you give it a crap moveset then it wont be uber.

i suppose it is ube because of a good moveset/stats..

just my opinion

 

[obada]

I dont know, its funny.
Why would such a crazy thing be a uber actually?
But I agree with you, maybe because of its stats.

 

[i dont know 2 A.K.A. quilava lover]

uber means old woobufet is old so then he is a non-legendary uber

 

[Kalosian]

I Belive it's Uber becouse of Shadow tag, Encore and it has Very high HP.

 

[killerjaw01]

What do you mean by old? As in ancient?

 

[Levski]

Wobbufet's Mirror Coat or Counter can faint any Pokemon if you guess right, and it's high HP makes those moves even more powerful. You can get Encore by Wynaut, which makes the opponent repeat the move, so you can be sure what you have to use: Mirror Coat or Counter. Shadow Tag is also a very good Ability.
EDIT:

uber means old woobufet is old so then he is a non-legendary uber

No Uber means super in German not old.

 

[obada]

Yeah, a non legendary uber.
But is it old, ancient?

 

[Blazichu]

I think Wobbufett in Uber because of his stats and his move set

 

[MetalMario]

Two words: Shadow Tag.

Many kinds of Pokémon have no way of countering Wobbuffet. It can survive their hits and OHKO them with the corresponding counter. All the owner has to do is switch in on them and they're now helpless to escape, preventing them from switching in anything that can counter Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet's Encore prevents them from outstalling it. If they use a damaging move, proceed to kill them; if they use Sub or some set-up move, take advantage of their out-of-commission time to switch in something else, such as a Choice Bander, that can kill them.

Wobbuffet takes out it enemies while they are left helpless to stop it.

 

[The Benmeister]

Wobbufet is only uber because it can faint anything if used correctly. With its high HP it can resist attacks then counter back with Counter or Mirror Coat to take out even the most uber of ubers. With Encore (from Wyanut) it's even better as it makes things predictable to counter. And of course, if Wobbufet falls Destiny Bond says hello. Shadow Tag just adds to the already challenging battle, forcing you to attack it in most cases only to be countered. The only plausible way to always counter it is a Physical attacking Ghost type or a Special attacking Dark type (type immunity).

The people who said its because of its stats or otherwise have no idea what they're talking about (except for HP, of course).

 

[Volteon]

Two words: Shadow Tag.

More one: Encore:

First turn use encore, if you encored a stat up attack, switch for any counter of that Pokémon, if you encored an damage attack, use mirror coat or Counter depending on what move it is.

If things are bad, just use Destiny Bond!

Wobbuffet can KO at least 2 Pokémon if used correctly.

 

[The Organizer]

Bercause of its amazing hp and move set.

 

[bLASTOIse_MAsTer]

Well, it has ridicuously huge amount of HP, can counter any attack double, can keep you in the battle no matter what, and if you're all in the battle, you're dead meat unless you have a one-hit KO move.

 

[SwordofAeons]

Hmm....

Encore an attack.
Mirror coat/Counter it until the pokemon is dead.

 

[eldes]

wabby has only 3 counters IIRC
ToxiDuggy, ToxiPory and CalmGarde
that's another reason why it's Uber

 

[MetalMario]

Wobbuffet is countered by:

Toxic stallers/trappers
Other indirect damaging stallers
Special sweeping Darks
Physical sweeping Ghosts
Things with Sub+recovery move (beware of Encore)
Other random obscure things

 

[Volteon]

Toxic stallers/trappers

Perish trapers... Why everyone forget about them? Well, it will KO itself, but at least KOs wobby too.

Also Sableye can hit every move in Wobbufet without get mirror coated or countered. (There´s also shedinja, but it´s an apart case, also Shedinja can´t mean look)

uber means old woobufet is old so then he is a non-legendary uber

UBER is actually a germen word meaning above and beyond

 

[WhiteWizard42]

everyone seems to be forgetting wobbuffet's biggest counter:

wobbuffet

if they're both holding leftovers, and shadow tag prevents either from switching out, the game goes forever.
