Top Party Hat Wobbuffet Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Party Hat Wobbuffet counters as such:

  • Shadow Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
  • Mega Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
  • Shadow Absol: Snarl, Payback
  • Mega Absol: Snarl, Payback
  • Mega Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
  • Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Crunch
  • Shadow Chandelure: Incinerate, Shadow Ball
  • Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Crunch
  • Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Party Hat Wobbuffet with efficiency.

  • Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Pheromosa: Bug Bite, Bug Buzz
  • Chandelure: Hex, Poltergeist
  • Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
  • Regigigas: Ghost-type Hidden Power, Giga Impact
  • Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Zoroark: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Absol: Snarl, Payback
  • Honchkrow: Snarl, Dark Pulse
  • Sharpedo: Bite, Crunch

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Party Hat Wobbuffet can be defeated with one Trainer, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.

Shiny Odds

The Shiny rate for this event-themed Pokémon is not known but likely boosted.
