Skitty are pink feline Pokémon with a stumpy body, big head, and a slender tail with a bulky pink section. The section includes three pin-like appendiges with cream-colored heads that resemble the toes of a cat's paw. The four limbs are extremely stubby and short. On Skitty's face is what resembles a lopsided crescent moon marking that is cream in color. This all adds to an image of [[Cute Contest|cuteness]]. They have slit-like eyes and ears with purple insides and three tufts of fur at the tips.

Skitty, along with {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, and their evolutions, is able to wield the {{m|Assist}} attack, which allows Skitty to use a random attack that's known by any other Pokémon on its trainer's [[party|team]]. Unlike other cat-like Pokémon like {{p|Meowth}} or {{p|Glameow}}, Skitty doesn't {{m|scratch}} or {{m|bite}} and instead slaps with its tail, which allows Skitty to pull off a relatively powerful {{m|DoubleSlap}} or {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}. Like most {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, Skitty can learn many elemental attacks.

Skitty are fascinated by and will chase anything that moves (a personality trait that is found in "real-world" kittens). Skitty will even chase its own tail. It may also make its tail puff out in battle, along with threatening its foes with a sharp growl. It is said to be difficult to earn its trust.
Coco was one of Ruby's first Pokémon along with Nana, and Ruru. She is used in the Cute category of Pokémon Contest's and like the rest of his Pokémon, is a really powerful battler. She evolved into a Delcatty after accidentally being exposed to a Moon Stone on Steven Stone's belt.
Pokémon Ranger: Teresa, a resident of Fall City, owns six Skitty. When they all run away during the second numbered mission, she gets the player to retrieve them for her.
