Skitty is a Pokémon that is considered cute even by its Pokédex definition. According the Pokédex, it also loves to play with round 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 and pink color.
It evolves into Delcatty with the use of a Moon Stone.

Availability
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.
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 a special episode not released outside of Japan featuring the Pichu Brothers and Meowth, 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.
Name Origin
The name Skitty is derived from the words skittish and kitty.
