Wynaut(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Psychic-type Baby Pokémon that made its first appearance in Pokémon the Series episode Fangs for Nothin' before debuting in the games with the third generation games Ruby and Sapphire. It is the preevolution of Wobbuffet using Lax Incense.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Wynaut is a small, bipedal Pokémon covered in blue fur. Its head is spherical with ear-like, fingerless arms on either side and a bulbous growth on its forehead. It has a wide mouth with a serrated upper jaw and a pink tongue. Its eyes appear closed, each curving upward to a point in the center. The fur on its body ends in a zigzag pattern, extending over its short legs. Wynaut's tail is long and completely black, ending in a round, flattened tip with a white, eye-like spot.
Wynaut tends to live in caves and travel in herds. It will test its endurance by squeezing up against other Wynaut at night. In doing so, it strengthens itself, toughens its spirit, and learns to deal powerful counterattacks. When angered, it will slap the ground with its tail. As it loves to eat sweet fruit, it is also drawn to fruit gardens.
Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
Other Pokémon games[]
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: Wobbuffet and Wynaut send the player on a mission into the Uproar Forest. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Wynaut also makes an appearance discussing the identity of the strongest Pokémon with Lombre and Bellsprout in the cutscene that unlocks the Western Cave.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: A different Wobbuffet and Wynaut duo appear in Explorers of Sky, first seen examining a rock outside of Treasure Town. Several days later, the two are seen standing outside an entrance where the rock once was, and usher the player and partner into what is revealed to be Spinda's Café, where the pair manage the Recycle Shop. Later in the game, Wynaut informs the player of any new areas discovered after the introduction of Spinda's Project P.
Super Smash Bros. series[]
In the anime[]
Wynaut debuted during the Blackthorn City arc, which began in Fangs for Nothin' and ended in Why? Wynaut!. However, Jessie's Wobbuffet, Ash Ketchum's Bayleef and Noctowl were the only ones to see it throughout the entire storyline.
Origin and inspiration[]
Wynaut is probably based on an Okiagari-koboshi doll, a Japanese traditional doll with squinted eyes that stands back upright when pushed over. It is a symbol of perseverance.
