nice contextomy there

Anyway, I'll admit I haven't really seen many people using Wobb (only #83 in most recent stats), but I have used it and found it mediocre every time I did. I absolutely hated the fact that it had to take damage in order to deal damage; Also, if the opponent sees Wobbuffet in the team preview, I don't think they're going to send out their Scarf Terrakion carelessly. I certainly wouldn't. IMO, trapping and killing revenge killers is an very, very small niche, and I believe I said this at one point anyway:

Gothitelle can beat Choiced users locked into the appropriate move as well, but there's a key here: It can deal damage without having to take damage.
So, I'm thinking Gothitelle has some use against offensive teams (however little use that is), but loads more utility against Stall than Wobbuffet (who is pretty useless against stall). Wobbuffet, however, does have a niche in being able to support setup sweepers with Encore, but I've found that it still can't do that consistently enough (read: Counter/Mirror Coat/Encore mindgames, not gonna win these every time)
