What is it that makes man seek out the unknown? Why chart the coast of Hoenn or sail deep into the ocean? There is one answer common to all explorers, despite many answers to that question which would seem obvious to ordinary men: "Wynaut?"

Yet Wynaut are a strange choice of pokemon to propel journeys into frightening seas. They are not particularly powerful, and once the secret of Lax Incense was discovered millennia ago, they ceased to be a rare pokemon; indeed, a few have speculated that they simply meant "Why not" instead of anything to do with this pokemon.

Yet to others, Wynaut are emblematic of the wonders beyond the known world. One of the first ships to sail from Hoenn, back when that land had forgotten all others, discovered an island once thought to have been imagined and still unmarked on most maps. Yet this island's existence has been corroborated throughout the ages, for all who located this island brought back the same strange, delicious berry whose seeds would grow in no other soil – and the same tales of an island as hard to locate as a mirage, inhabited solely by wild Wynaut.

The Wynaut are remarkable not for their appearance – for in truth they are nothing more special than baby Wobbuffet – but for their strange behavior. With no predators and no battles, pokemon evolution has come to a complete halt, yet many of the Wynaut on this island tower over even Wobbuffet. Some explorers wrote that they must surely give birth to Wynaut of their own, but none could cite eggs or other definitive evidence. This gave birth to the idea that the Wynaut, with their lives spent free of battle and a diet entirely composed entirely of Liechi berries, had discovered the secret of immortality.
