[OVERVIEW]

Delcatty's bad movepool and poor stats bar its decent Speed make it completely outclassed by other Normal-types such as Stoutland and Alolan Raticate. However, the most notable is Kangaskhan, which, on top of having the same Speed stat and double priority, has a better movepool, better stats, and an ability that allows it to hit Ghost-types, rather than be completely walled by them like in Delcatty's case.

[SET]
name: Normalize
move 1: Fake Out
move 2: Sucker Punch
move 3: Return / Double Edge
move 4: Thunder Wave
item: Silk Scarf
ability: Normalize
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

This set is centered around Delcatty's main unique attribute in Normalize. It allows Delcatty to hit Ground-types with Thunder Wave and gives Delcatty double STAB priority. However, this also leaves Delcatty completely ineffective against Ghost-types, allowing Pokemon like Froslass and Oricorio-G to use it as complete setup bait, on top of being already hard walled by Steel- and Rock-types. Because of its bad stats, little movepool, and mediocre ability, Delcatty is simply outclassed by Normal-types like Kangaskhan.

This set is centered around Delcatty's main unique attribute in Normalize. It allows Delcatty to hit Ground-types with Thunder Wave as well as gives Delcatty with double STAB priority. However, this also leaves Delcatty completely ineffective against Ghost-types, allowing Pokemon like Froslass and Oricorio-Sensu (oricorio-g! STOP SAYING SENSU SKITTY I WILL KICK YOU OFF THE QC TEAM I SWEAR TO GOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!) to use it as complete setup bait, on top of being already hard walled by Steel- and Rock-types. Because of its bad stats, little movepool, and mediocre ability Delcatty is simply outclassed by Normal-types like Kangaskhan.
