Biology
Skitty is a Pokémon that is considered cute even by its Pokédex definition. According to the Pokédex, it also loves to play with moving objects just like Meowth. Because of this, it often chases its own tail until it is dizzy. However, Skitty is more like Clefairy due to rarity, pink color and it's means of evolution. Its appearance is described by the following: each ear is split into three points, its tail starts skinny, followed by a sausage shape and ending with three cherry-like points. Its body is little and its paws are stumpy. It has no nose, like Meowth, and its eyes are squinty.
Skitty are unique pokemon, as they are the only species of Pokemon to naturally learn the move Assist, which randomly picks a move off the other pokemon from your party and attacks with it. Note: There are pokemon where Assist can be bred into them, for example Meowth.
In the Games
Skitty can only be found on Route 116, North of Rustboro City, and they appear rarely. This is also the first place players actually see Skitty because one of the minor NPCs has it in her house as a pet.
A version of Skitty that knows Pay Day can be obtained from Pokémon Box.
It evolves into Delcatty with the use of a Moon Stone.

In the Anime
In the Pokémon anime, May has a Skitty that she uses for contests. It can juggle and perform a variety of attacks, for which it also is useful in battle, when it is not chasing its own tail. May's Skitty (like Jessie & James' Wobbuffet and Misty's Psyduck) has a knack for coming out of its Pokéball at some inappropriate moments, which may make May's opponent think its her next battle pokémon.
In the Pokémon Chronicles episode "A Little Skitty" , Meowth falls in love with a female Skitty that's sleeping on a balcony and tries to impress her with flowers, songs, etc. However, a runaway Azurill always ruins the moment.
In the Manga
In Pokémon Adventures, Ruby had a Skitty named Coco (derived from its Japanese name, Eneko) which was his staple Pokémon for Cute Contests. Coco evolved in Granite Cave when she accidentally touched a Moon Stone.
