Strategy Overview

Normalize really is an interesting and unique ability, and it's only found on Delcatty and its pre-evolution Skitty. The problem with it though is that Normal attacks are already the go-to moves for generic high damage and interesting effects. Delcatty can do all sorts of things for less than average damage, though its support pool is about as good as it gets, between Sing, Thunder Wave, Heal Bell, AND Wish. It's not even listed but you have a moveset right there. If you're using Delcatty, note that you only have the first few turns for Delcatty to surprise anything, and once its moveset and true motives are discovered, it will be a lot harder to use.
