Skitty (Japanese: エネコ Eneco) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Delcatty when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Biology

Skitty is a pink, feline Pokémon with a stumpy body and four short legs. On its face is a cream-colored, crescent-shaped marking. It has slit-like eyes and tufted ears with purple interiors. Its slender tail has a bulky pink section at the end, terminated by three pin-like structures with yellow ball-like tips. In battle, its tail puffs out, and threatens opponents with a sharp growl.

It is fascinated by moving objects, and chases them. It is known to chase its own tail and become dizzy from it. Although it can be difficult to earn its trust, it is very popular due to its adorable looks and behavior. It can use the moves of other Pokémon through the use of Assist, its former signature move. It lives in holes in trees in forests.

Trivia

• Because of its inclusion in the Field Egg Group, it is possible to breed two Pokémon as different as Skitty and Wailord together. This has become the center of the Hot Skitty on Wailord Action joke.
• The cream-colored section of Skitty's face is shaped like a crescent moon, which may be related to the fact that Skitty evolves using a Moon Stone.
• Prior to Platinum, a Skitty with Normalize could not directly damage a Ghost-type Pokémon. It now can, however, by learning Foresight.
• The Fluffy Tail, an item that allows escape from battle in the same way that a Poké Doll does, resembles Skitty's tail. It was likely introduced because Clefairy cannot be found in Hoenn.
• Skitty is the only Generation III Pokémon that evolves via Moon Stone.

Origin

Skitty is based on a kitten with its tail resembling foxtail grass.

Name origin

Skitty is a combination of skittish and kitty (slang for cat).

Eneco is a combination of 狗尾草 enokorogusa (foxtail grass, a type of plant that Skitty's tail resembles) and 猫 neko (cat).
