Delcatty are medium-sized Pokémon with a mostly tan body. They have a pointed, whisker-like protrusion on each cheek. They have purple ears with three tufts of fur at the tips and a purple ruff-like collar with pin-like extensions around their necks. Delcatty also possess a purple, flower-like tuft of hair on the ends of their thin tails. Their build makes them look a lot more feline than their previous evolution.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Like many Normal-type Pokémon, Delcatty is capable of learning many elemental attacks.
Behavior
Delcatty are docile Pokémon that rarely ever put up with conflict. Delcatty prefers to live an unfettered existence in which it can do as it pleases at its own pace. Because it eats and sleeps whenever it decides, its schedule is completely random. Rather than seeking a permanent nest, it habitually seeks comfortable spots and sleeps there. If other Pokémon approach it as it sleeps, Delcatty will never fight, and instead moves somewhere else. Delcatty are popular among female Trainers, used in competition for their style and sublime fur. It is nocturnal and active at dusk.
Delcatty, the Prim Pokémon. Delcatty lives its life at its own pace, happy most of the time and rarely confronting other Pokémon. Even when disturbed, Delcatty will move to another spot rather than fight.

Delcatty and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that can obtain a Normal-type Hidden Power through their Ability Normalize. Not only that, they are the only ones who can have this permanently.
