Strategy Overview

Delibird is an atrocious Pokemon, being outclassed by virtually every other lead in the game due to its abysmal Speed and defenses, meaning it will rarely ever be able to set up more than one layer of Spikes. Even though it's able to run Rapid Spin in an attempt to win the hazard game, Qwilfish is more effective at keeping entry hazards off the field due to its superior Speed, Intimidate and access to Taunt while Roselia can utilize Eviolite and has access to reliable recovery options; both have more defensive utility overall, making them far more reliable options.
