He's centralizing the metagame around it, demanding people to drastically change their teams and carry more pokemon who can deal with him smartly, on the expence of other useful moves. Mean Look is something you should rarely see on Dusknoir, but it does beat Wobba 1 on 1, because even if he encores your Mean Look, he can't run away, and you'll be free to use Shadow Sneak afterwards.

The bolded is so true.
Tbh, i dont even see why it even got tested for OU, is it not obvious that this pokemon has as stupid ability and even more stupid moves to go with it ?. Deoxys i can understand, it can hardly sweep, it can pressure stall a bit, but wobby is just too broken.
Also people seem to be forgetting when they say " Its not hard to beat" that you dont know when its going to come out, say for instance your Choice Band weavile has just finished something off with Pursuit, and then Wobby comes in, its going to revenge kill your ass, which is ironic seeing as Choice Band weavile is a revenge killer. It can then come back later with Wish support and wreck the rest of your sweepers in the same fashion, whilst wrecking your set ups such as dragon dances with Encore along the way. If you attack it its going to Encore and mirror coat or counter. Even status is not a good counter to it, it can use safeguard and it is even worse with cleric support.
Its just too stupid and over centralizing the metagame which is why things are put in uber initially and should actually be put back in ubers where it belongs.
