Strategy Overview

Psychic

Delphox suffers from not having the best stats overall, it's not as fast nor as powerful as one would like out of an offensive powerhouse for Psychic, being just barely slower than Iron Treads and struggling to break threats like Ting-Lu and Araquanid. However, if these threats can be dealt with for Delphox, its Speed tier is just good enough to get the jump on the rest of the relevant Steel- and Bug-types in the tier and check them with its Fire-type STAB moves before they become a problem for its teammates.
