Delcatty
From Free net encyclopedia
Delcatty (エネコロロ Enekororo in Japan, Enekoro in Germany, Delcatty in France) is a fictional character from Pokémon franchise.
This Pokémon's name is a portmanteau of delicate, referring to its beautiful appearance, and cat, in the same nature that Skitty's name contains kitty within it.

Biology
Delcatty, a dainty-looking feline with a violet-shaded collar-like outgrowth and ears to match, is a highly laid back, unconcerned specie of Pokémon. It prefers to live completely free of priorities, doing only what it pleases at its own pace. Since these include eating and sleeping, its daily routine is completely random. However, its activities are generally more nocturnal than not.
Delcatty does not stake a claim on a personal lair like other more territorial species of Pokémon. Rather, it makes it a habit to wander about and seek out more comfortable spots when it decides it’s time to sleep. Even here it is not defensive; if another Pokémon approaches its spot, Delcatty will take off for another place rather than fight.
These habits seem to contrast with Delcatty’s popular image of charm and appeal. Domesticated Delcatty are highly regarded by fashion-trendy female trainers who oftentimes use the Pokémon in competitions revolving around its style and fur.
In the video games
Delcatty is obtained only by evolving a Skitty with usage of a Moon Stone. Alternately, it can be snagged by Cipher Admin Lovrina in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
Delcatty is a widely ignored Pokémon in competitive battling; all its base stats are below average, for in fact none of them are higher than 70. Delcatty’s primary selling point is its Cute Charm ability that may infatuate the attacking Pokémon if it is of opposite gender.
75% of the Delcatty population is female while 25% are male. Also, theoretically, if Delcatty were encountered in the wild, there would be a 5% chance that it would hold the Leppa Berry item, but as such, it can only be obtained through evolution and trade.
In the Anime
Currently, Delcatty only had 2 appearances in the anime. First, it was owned by a trainer who had a crush on Misty in Pokémon Chronicles. It was stolen by Butch and Cassidy, but Casey's Meganium helped to get it back.
Later, one was used by a Pokémon coordinator Abby which the gang met on their way to Verdanturf town. Abby taught May's Skitty Blizzard then which she later used in a Pokémon Contest against Timmy's Dusclops.

- EX Ruby & Sapphire
- EX Ruby & Sapphire
