{{nihongo|'''Wynaut'''|ソーナノ|Sōnano|'''Sohnano''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is one of the {{pokenum}} [[List of Pokémon|fictional species]] of Pokémon from the [[Pokémon|Pokémon Franchise]] - a series of [[video game]]s, [[anime]], [[manga]], [[book]]s, [[trading card]]s and other media created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]].

It is the pre-evolved form of [[Wobbuffet]], its [[English-language]] name, Wynaut, coming from the phrase "Why not?", while Wynaut's Japanese name, Sohnano, is actually a reference to Wobbuffet's Japanese name, Sonans. While Wobbuffet's name means "So it seems", Wynaut's name means "Is that so?" - a quirky remark answered by its evolution.

==Biological characteristics==
Wynaut are cute, little, bluish Pokémon with a black, one-eyed tail. Sometimes docile, sometimes mischievous, but they are always playful. When Wynaut gather, they rub against each other to practice fighting techniques.

Wynaut is always seen with a big, happy smile on its face, regardless of what its actual mood is. To determine its real mood [[Pokémon Trainers]] must look at a Wynaut's tail. If it can be seen slapping its tail on the ground continuously, it can be presumed that it is in an angry temperament.

Wynaut evolves into the enigmatic [[Wobbuffet]], a complicated, yet incredibly powerful Pokémon, and can be assumed to have many of the same habits as its relative. Unlike Wobbuffet, however, Wynaut likes light and has been known to play on islands in the middle of the ocean, known in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']] as Mirage Island.

It can be presumed that, with its mouth open all the time, it consumes flies or other flying objects. This would be a possible explanation for the source of their food. Wynaut also loves to eat sweet fruits (i.e. berries). It cleverly picks berries using its earlike arms. Wynaut gather in berry gardens, drawn by the fragrance (this statement is backed up by their being found on Mirage Island, where the extremely rare Liechi Berry can be obtained).

==In the video games==
In all versions [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby & Sapphire,]] [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald,]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed & LeafGreen,]] Wynaut can be obtained by breeding two [[Wobbuffet]], with one of them holding the Lax Incense Item ''(Compare with breeding [[Azurill]]''). Also, in the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions, Wynaut can be caught in quantity on [[Mirage Island]], a location that appears extremely rarely and randomly off the west end of [[List of Hoenn locations#Pacifidlog Town|Pacifidlog Town]]. Due to the rarity of the island, this is not considered a very viable option for obtaining it. Finally, in these same versions, an egg containing a Wynaut can be obtained from a woman outside the hot springs in [[List of Hoenn locations#Lavaridge Town|Lavaridge Town]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] one is upset because of some [[Mankey]]. It then tells the protagonist and his/her partner to "Punish Bad Mankey." In doing so, the Wynaut plus its friend Wobbuffet help renovate the rescue team base, along with the [[Mankey]].

Wynaut begins with the moves Splash, Encore, and Charm. At level 15, it learns Counter, Mirror Coat, Safeguard, and Destiny Bond and after doing so it evolves into Wobbuffet. Wynaut can learn these seven moves and no others.

==Anime appearances==
[[Image:Wynaut Saves.jpg|right|thumb|Two Wynaut in "''Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?".]]
Wynaut’s Japanese debut was in the Pikachu short accompanying the fifth Pokémon movie, Camp Pikachu. In it, Wynaut is among the various residents of the countryside woods the short takes place in. Like its friends [[Duskull]] and [[Volbeat]] (also debuted in the short), Wynaut helps Pikachu and friends help the [[Pichu]] Bros. catch a train to a city.

In America, however, Wynaut’s first anime appearance was in the ''Pokémon: Master Quest'' series in the [[List of Johto locations#Blackthorn City|Blackthorn City]] story arc (making one of the first third-generation Pokemon to appear in the anime, where Wynaut is the Pokémon that mysteriously steals Team Rocket's food (which Wobbuffet was subsequently blamed for). After Ash Ketchum wins the Rising Badge, his badges were stolen by Team Rocket. Wynaut then helps Bayleef and Noctowl recover the eight badges.

Wynaut later appears in Hoenn on Mirage Island in ''Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?'' It also briefly appears in ''Delcatty Got Your Tongue!''

==In the trading card game==
There are two version of the Wynaut Pokémon trading card, in the EX Sandstorm and EX Legend Maker cardset. The card in [[EX Sandstorm]] is uncommon, and in [[EX Legend Maker]], it is common. Both have the Poké-POWER Baby Evolution, allowing it to evolve into [[Wobbuffet]] if the player has one in his or her hand.
