The 'wobble method' is still the best way to look for exoplanets because it tells you the mass, not the size, of a planet. The 'transit method' only tells you its size which can be deceptive. Jupiter would be a star if it had 80 times its mass, but its size would not be much larger because it would also be denser.

And Pluto is not a planet. Never was.
