Delcatty
PvE Analysis
While cats may have nine lives, Delcatty has zero uses, mostly due to a long list of superior choices. Pitiful stats, a lack of any STAB movesets, and a Normal typing that isn't Super Effective against anything results in little reason to pick this feline.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
It really doesn't matter. | Best |
---|
- Feint Attack generally performs best, though it doesn't really synergize with any of Delcatty's charge moves.
- Charm pairs well with Fairy-type charge moves to fulfill a Fairy-type role.
- Zen Headbutt doesn't really mean much for Delcatty.
- Wild Charge on paper performs the best in a neutral fight, but doesn't synergize with any of Delcatty's fast moves.
- Play Rough shares the same typing as Charm to let Delcatty act as a Fairy-type attacker.
- Disarming Voice is an inferior move.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Charm + Play Rough or Wild Charge | Best |
---|
- Charm hits the hardest on defense, and covers against Delcatty's weakness to Fighting-types.
- Feint Attack and Zen Headbutt are inferior on defense in terms of damage output.
- Play Rough is harder to dodge than Wild Charge, and also provides more meaningful coverage.
- Disarming Voice is a 3-bar move, but is very easy to dodge.
PvP Analysis
Charm or Feint Attack + Disarming Voice and Wild Charge | Best |
---|
Charm is a powerful option to deal large amounts of damage without worrying about being shielded, but it also offers the worst energy generation in the game. Feint Attack sports the average all-around performance, which lets Delcatty access its charge move sooner.
Disarming Voice is good charge move option, with a moderate energy cost and Damage per Energy, it demands the least energy among Delcatty's charge moves and can be used more frequently. Wild Charge is a powerful move that offers interesting coverage, and can also catch unsuspecting opponents by surprise. Play Rough is an inferior charge move compared to the previous two.
Great League | 1.5 / 5 |
---|---|
Delcatty is an underdogcat in PvP, and is generally overlooked due to greater popularity surrounding meta picks. That may work to Delcatty's advantage though, as unsuspecting opponents may get caught off guard by Delcatty's unusual moveset. With a max CP of 1496, Delcatty unfortunately needs to be fully powered up to level 40 to reach its full potential, which makes this cat rather expensive to use for PvP. With a relatively balanced stat distribution that somewhat leans towards its stamina, Delcatty does have some decent bulk to back it up, though this isn't enough to let it dominate most meta picks. | |
Ultra League | 0 / 5 |
Delcatty has a max CP of 1496, which is barely enough for Great League, let alone Ultra League. Its Normal typing and access to Charm lets it beat Giratina Origin Forme, but that's about the only thing it has going for it. | |
Master League | 0 / 5 |
This cat ain't slaying no dragons or dinosaurs. |
