Delcatty#301

Its strongest point is Speed — higher than 74% of species. On the other hand, Sp. Def — lower than 71% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. In defense it has 1 weakness and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Speed, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (65) is 10 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 74% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry

TCG cards (13)

All Delcatty cards →

Delcatty has 13 cards in 12 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 324 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 15 cycles, which is roughly 4,100 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
