Basically, every single thing that Wobbuffet does, Gothitelle does better, not to mention that the Encore nerf hurt Wobbuffet pretty badly. Both aren't so good against a well-built offensive team anyway.

Yea o.k ngl that Wobb struggles a bit in this metagame, but it doesn't deserve to be E rank. For starters, Wobb has the wonderful advantage of trapping and eliminatnig revenge killers, which in turn make it easier for a select pokmeon to sweep. You underrate this quite a lot, when something like Volcarona really enjoys having that Terrakion or whatever eliminated, or if it just wants that free set up opportunity that Encore will give it. Wobb also gives set up sweepers a free turn to do whatever the fuck they want, and in this fast paced metagame, 1 turn is all you really need IMO (just look at RP Genesect, Salac Terrakion, RP Landorus for examples of devastating pokemon that require only a single turn of set up). Also js id argue that Wobb at least, shines better vs Offensive teams rather than stall teams (which have lots of utility moves which they don't mind being encored into). Basically, I have seen Wobb used very well, on a variety of team styles and quite frankly, reading your post makes me doubt you have actually played someone half decent at using Wobb.

C Rank: Reserved for Pokemon who can be effective given the right support, but either have crippling flaws that prevent them from consistently executing their strategy or are completely eclipsed by a Pokemon in the above ranks.

Wobb seems to fit this rank pretty well IMO
