Biology

Delcatty, a dainty-looking feline with a violet-shaded collar-like outgrowth and ears to match, is a highly laid back, unconcerned species of Pokémon. It prefers to live completely free of priorities, doing only what it pleases at its own pace. Since these include eating and sleeping, its daily routine is completely random. However, its activities are generally more nocturnal than not. ^[3]

Delcatty does not stake a claim on a personal lair like other more territorial species of Pokémon. Rather, it makes it a habit to wander about and seek out more comfortable spots when it decides it’s time to sleep. Even here it is not defensive; if another Pokémon approaches its spot, Delcatty will take off for another place rather than fight.^[3]

These habits seem to contrast with Delcatty’s popular image of charm and appeal. Domesticated Delcatty are highly regarded by fashion-trendy female trainers who oftentimes use the Pokémon in competitions revolving around its style and fur.^[3]

(Its name was thought to be "Skittyskat", an equivalent to "kitty cat".)

In the video games

Delcatty is obtained only by evolving a Skitty^[3] with usage of a Moon Stone.^[4] Alternately, it can be snagged from Cipher Admin Lovrina in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Skitty (エネコ Eneko in Japan, Eneco in Germany and Skitty in France) is a fictional character of the Pokémon Franchise. ...

Delcatty is a widely ignored Pokémon in competitive battling; all its base stats are below average, for in fact none of them are higher than 70 ^[3]. Delcatty’s primary selling point is its ability to learn the exclusive Heal Bell upon leveling up (actually, it can only learn this while a Skitty; just don't make Skitty evolve until after level 37). Its ability is also helpful; infatuating the opposite gender gives it a 50% chance of not being hit. It also has a wide move pool, though many of its moves cannot be utilized well.

It is stolen by Butch and Cassidy, but Casey's Meganium helps to get it back. now. ... Pokémon Chronicles was a spin-off series of the Pokémon anime, revolving around characters other than Ash. ...
