Delcatty (Japanese: エネコロロ Enekororo) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Skitty via Moon Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Delcatty are medium-sized Pokémon with a mostly tan body. The sides of Delcatty’s head have a pointed, whisker-like protrusion. Delcatty have purple ears with three tufts of fur at the tips and a purple ruff-like collar with spherical extensions around their necks. Delcatty also possess a purple flower-like tuft of hair on the ends of their thin tails. Their build makes them seem related to the Eeveelutions. Notably, their build also makes them look a lot more feline than their previous evolution.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like many Normal-type Pokémon, Delcatty is capable of learning many elemental attacks. Delcatty has also been found with the ability Cute Charm, which infatuates foe on contact if they are the opposite gender to Delcatty.

Behavior

Delcatty are docile Pokémon that rarely ever put up with conflict. Delcatty prefers to live an unfettered existence in which it can do as it pleases at its own pace. Because it eats and sleeps whenever it decides, its schedule is completely random. Rather than seeking a permanent nest, it habitually seeks comfortable spots and sleeps there. If other Pokémon approach it as it sleeps, Delcatty will never fight, and instead moves somewhere else. Delcatty are popular among female Trainers, used in competition for their style and sublime fur. It is nocturnal and active at dusk.
