Traits:

Vital spirit: Delibird can not put into the sleep status

Hustle: raises the attack stat by 1.5 but makes lowers acc by 20% ( i don't know if this acc drop applys to special attacks or not)

45 HP/ 55 ATK / 45 def / 65 Sp.attack / 45 S.def / 75 speed

I won't lie delibird typing and defenses stats blow and getting boned by SR doesn't help, its attacking stats are a shame only redeeeming stat is it speed which is sub average only used in advance in X-mas themes or for hustle abuse probably won't change much..but damn it its still damn cool to look at

worthwhile physcial moves Stab in bold

Ice shard
ice punch
aerial ace
pluck
focus punch
body slam ( 3rd gen tutor )

really thin at least you can abuse hustle with Aerial ace


Worthwhile special moves

ice beam
hidden power

lol...chatot gets better options than this good thing a ice is a decent attack type


notable support

Rapid spin
Substitue
endure
toxic
swagger

rapid spin is cool..too bad its too fragile to be cool with it


hustle abuse
Delibird@ choice band/scarf
Hustle
252 attack 252 speed 4 hp
any +attack nature except brave if you want more attack other wise any +speed nature except timid don't worry about reducing defense it would get OHKOed by much more if it wasn't

Aerial ace
Ice shard
Focus punch
filler ( good luck filling this )

basicly the advance Hustle abuse standard with ice shard replacing quick attack and a filler spot left open because of the loss of a physcial HP ground your able to outspeed heracross with a +speed nature but in order to harm things you need a +attack nature filler is likely gonna be ice punch or toxic since its options are crap

discuss this poor guy
 
Why in Arceus's name did they give Rapid Spin to a Pokemon that takes 50% damage from SR?

And why is it the only ice or flying pokemon that gets Rapid Spin? (Seriously, it is. I checked.) I can't see this thing spinning around like a freaking top.
 
lol it spins with its presents :P

poor lil' guy...I always dreamed of using him somewhere with the hope of utility lol. Rapid Spin is freaking awesome, but his stats don't help AT ALL to provide for any serious use /cry

Yea....and his special moveset is something to lol at sadly :P
 
D: Damn does he look badass, but he sucks so hard. I'll probably use one in Battle Tower or FireRed for fun.

I'm wondering if he got an evo would it look cool or look like a freakish penguin/santa claus?

@Life Orb

Adamant with max Attack\Speed outspeeds all and OHKOs most Tyranitars with Brick Break, as well as OHKOing most Garchomp.
 
poor Delibird is quite useless. and lol @ the fact that he can rapid spin 'but' takes 50% damage from Stealth Rock. Gamefreak made some weird choices on who learns rapid spin (such as Armaldo and Hitmonchan).
 
Well, at least he has some Hustle fun in NU. He got STAB Ice Punch in the generation shift, which is a nice boost. Ice Shard aint half-bad either. Those two changes more than make up for the fact that he still can't switch into Rock Attacks (everything that has Stone Edge had Rock Slide barring a few exceptions [like Gyarados], so there isn't much new IMO.).

@ Life Orb

The way to go IMO. Basically the set that Donut posted but with Ice Punch. The 35 (plus STAB) power boost warrants use IMO, especially with plenty of crap Grass types likely to be hanging out in NU.
