[NU] Delcatty DONE

[Rabia]

[OVERVIEW]

Delcatty's only niche is on dedicated Baton Pass teams due to its access to Calm Mind. The only Pokemon that gives Delcatty competition in this role is Spinda, and Delcatty is generally the superior option due to its greater Speed and access to Wish, which lets it ensure the stat recipient is at full health and can help maintain the HP of other Baton Pass chain members. Delcatty is otherwise completely outclassed by the other Normal-types in the tier due to its lacking stats.

[SET]
name: Calm Mind + Baton Pass
move 1: Calm Mind
move 2: Baton Pass
move 3: Substitute
move 4: Wish
item: Leftovers
ability: Cute Charm
nature: Timid
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=========

This set lets Delcatty use Calm Mind and Substitute to safely pass Special Attack and Special Defense boosts to the stat recipient. Wish is the best filler move so the health of whatever teammate is receiving Delcatty's stat boosts is guaranteed to be maintained; it also helps keep Delcatty healthy should it have to use Substitute repeatedly. Maximum HP and Speed investment with a Timid nature helps Delcatty outspeed as many foes as possible and lets it best make use of defensive boosts.

This set is very straightforward to use: bring Delcatty into battle via Baton Pass, preferably with Defense boosts and a Substitute. From there, set up with Calm Mind and use Substitute when necessary. Generally, you'll be set to Baton Pass into another teammate once Delcatty has two or three Calm Mind boosts.

Team Options
========

Other Baton Pass chain members are necessary to pair alongside Delcatty, such as Mawile, Plusle, and Ledian, so the recipient can receive all the necessary stat boosts. Ariados is unique in that it can trap a passive foe with Spider Web, essentially making it impossible for the opponent to break the chain. Octillery is the best option as a stat recipient due to its broad coverage and ability Suction Cups, which prevents Roar users from phazing it; however, Clamperl is an alternative recipient that trades reliability for greater damage output.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Thunderbolt can be used over Wish to prevent Delcatty from being neutralized by Taunt and let it make use of its boosts; it can also be clutch in preventing Roar Wailord and Perish Song Dewgong from breaking the Baton Pass chain. If you're aiming to Baton Pass Speed boosts to Delcatty early, an EV spread with maximum Defense as opposed to maximum Speed is more plausible, making Delcatty more difficult to take down overall. Spinda is an alternative to Delcatty as a Calm Mind passer due to its access to Hypnosis, which can let the Baton Pass chain accrue boosts more reliably.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Anti-Baton Pass Moves**: Moves like Roar, Perish Song, and Taunt all disrupt Baton Pass chains; while Taunt forces Delcatty to use Struggle repeatedly and can leave it vulnerable to the foe's attacks, Roar and Perish Song reset the chain entirely. Pokemon with Explosion or Self-Destruct are also problematic; not only do they make restarting the chain more difficult, but they can also potentially remove a member entirely if it's not protected by Substitute.

Watchog Disjunction poh Heysup Oglemi this is very short (as will Ledian be) because there really isn't a lot to say about a shitmon that has a single niche. only somewhat major thing I'm considering rn is adding examples of users to the moves in c&c but meh

 

[Heysup]

Looks good

Looks good

no u

An EV spread of max def instead of speed might be an option cause i tended to baton pass Agility almost always as the first boost. Ariados Spider Webbing, Agility up, pass on.

Team options: Spider Web Ariados can get a mention somewhere too since it can lock the opposing mon and start bp chains. Clamperl is also another excellent bp recipient.

Checks and Counters: Mons with Explosion, making it harder for you to restart the bp sequence.

yay answers to the questions

1) speed does not help it
2) because frankly i view delcatty less as a pokemon and more as a theme: cm baton pass. spinda is the only other option for this role, hence the oo mention
