Strategy Overview

While Skitty may seem dwarfed by many other sweepers in Little Cup in terms of both power and Speed, Skitty has one thing going for it: Normalize. Normalize gives Skitty STAB on literally every attacking move it knows, while admittedly sacrificing any coverage it would have gotten. But if opposing Pokemon that resist or are immune to Normal-type attacks have been removed, Skitty can be quite difficult to stop. While Skitty is a fun Pokemon to use, for the most part it is outclassed by other priority users such as Croagunk, Aipom, Meowth, and Glameow, all of whom have better stats across the board. Basically, Skitty is just another fun Normal-type that is unlikely to see any real competitive use.
