What is the mystery behind Wobbuffet's tail?

3 minute read

“It desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden. It is said to be proof the tail hides a secret.”

From Diamond,Pearl,Platinum,Black, andWhite’sPokedexentry.

Does anybody know anything about this, or any story released from the Pokemon company or Gamefreak?I’m just curious about this! This seems like another one of those mysteries like the missingno. one, or something!

P.S. This doesn’t have to be from the game, but can be from anything Pokemon related.

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.

-from Bulbapedia

According to this Pokedex entry in Sapphire, the Wobbuffet tries to take the Pokemon with it using Destiny Bond. It’s tail is obviously important, right? Yet we know little about it. The theory that I have come up with for the importance of it’s tail is this: it is a key to another dimension. When another attacks or even touches it, it unlocks a separate world from ours. Using Destiny Bond, it drags the Pokemon assaulting its tail into its realm and traps it there for all eternity, hiding its secret along with its assailant before its world could be seen and discovered. Pretty freaky.

The truth behind its tail is that the black “tail” is actually its real body, it is small and hidden so it will not be as noticeable and targeted for attack so it can remain unharmed. The main blue/purple body is actually its tail, or “shield” if you will. And this is no theory, its true.

Okay this is a bit weird, but here I go:

Wynaut. Weak, tail one eyeWobbufett. Strong endurance.Protects tail with two eyes, seemed to developUnown one eye, holds a major Secret behind pokemon itself and holds Hidden PowerUNown - Not ownedWynaut loses its cyclops tail, it is now UN ownedUN OWNED - UnownWobbufett owns a tail with a secret, Unown is the secret behind pokemon.Literally behind Wobbufett, he keeps the unown safe as it grows into something more powerful.And grants Wobbufett great power,Woubafetts are competitive against each other, because they know, what secrets are held, and test the secret’s strength. (Endurance)Woubbafett uses destiny bond to conceal its secret after defeat, for it shall not allow it to use its fully developed hidden power.Woubafett is the protector of Unowns and its un-tamable power, which it attempts to harness when using its attack moves (Counter, Mirror Coat, Safegaurd, Destiny Bond) all moves that require some sort of strange power to use, excluding counter, but then again wobbufetta does not seem able to counter on its own, with its small arms and legs)The show , shows wobbufett coating himself, even when using Counter, to counter enemy attacks. Unown is a Psychic type, as well as Wobbufett, but his Stats dictate that he isn’t very strong with special forces. Which explains the Psychic coating which comes from Unown.The wynaut train themselves by squashing each other for endurance, in this act, the Unown behind it can be removed and develops its strange Psychic powers and its shape.Unown live in an alternate dimention, so when Destiny Bond is used, the unown accesses its power and sends it to an alternate dimention upon losing a battle.Of course in the game, this isnt shown, but how can wobbufett possibly bring its enemy along with it? It must be some sort of super power, which is why, when the tail is attacked, the destiny bond is used, because the tail unleashes its Dimentional powers, or its big secret.

This is a theory based of the ability shadow tag and the fact that the tail looks almost like a shadow but I believe the tail is a another entity that infests the host and feeds off the hosts negativity and negative emotions the “parasite” also infests the host so that the offspring of it will also have a “tail” but since the entity has completely infested the body the host can no longer survive without them but the entity can survive without the host (although for a short amount of time before death by hunger) the host uses destiny bond not for the foe to share the same fate but for the entity to knocked out with them so that the entity can not flee and that wobbuffet can continue to live.

please excuse my grammar.

Nothing really, just another story, like Spinda’s unique spots. Though if there was something behind it,, I’m not sure what its use would be.
