PvE Analysis

The long awaited bird is here,

Bringing its sack of holiday cheer.

Though its implementation was slow,

Why this was, we don't know

At least the bonus stardust is kind.

(Yeah that's not a real limerick, bite me.)

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Present + Ice PunchBest
  • Present is best used to bribe its targets rather than subdue them.

  • Ice Punch is Delibird’s most useful move on offense.  

  • Icy Wind is such a large step down in DPS, even Aerial Ace is even better than it.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Present + Ice PunchBest
  • Present makes no distinction between naughty or nice. Use with caution.

  • Ice Punch is slightly better than Aerial Ace, with an earlier damage window and slightly better coverage.

  • Icy Wind is once again too slow to rate.

PvP Analysis

Present + Icy Wind and Aerial Ace

Ice Shard and Quick Attack are legacy moves not available through Elite TMs. Present is a direct downgrade of Lock-On, but still manages to generate energy at 4.0 EPT. 

Icy Wind isn't particularly strong, but benefits from STAB and applies a guaranteed debuff on the opponent, even when shielded. Aerial Ace offers Flying-type coverage, though it's not particularly strong either. Ice Punch costs the least amount of energy, though only by 5, and doesn't really offer anything special. 

Great League0 / 5

Delibird lacks stats for PvP. A few niche wins here and there don't justify its use when considering that there's many other Pokemon to choose from. 

Ultra League0 / 5

Delibird's fast move does exactly what it sounds like, giving a Present to your opponent in the form of a free win. 

Master League00 / 5

Happy Holidays my friend, and thank you for the free win.
