Skitty made its debut in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]'', when {{TP|May|Torchic}} wandered off during a training session and met it when it was apparently wounded. Brock suggested they take it to a Pokémon Aromatherapy Center, where it recovered after being sprayed with some medicine and taking a nap. {{TRT}} then kidnapped Skitty because they initially thought it would bring happiness to {{an|Giovanni}}. However, [[Jessie]] wanted it for herself, and since {{MTR}} fell in love with Skitty, he tried to help Skitty escape because he did not want such a cute Pokémon to have to suffer the many misfortunes that always befall the trio.

In [[AG048|the next episode]], Skitty let itself out of its Poké Ball on a whim, before running away on May, who had to chase it. This became a running gag, including in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]'', where {{OBP|Max|AG049}} told [[Max]] that Skitty was generally a troublesome Pokémon and required a disciplined Trainer. It barely paid attention when introduced to the other Pokémon, but succeeded in (unintentionally) keeping Jessie away from Max's {{p|Surskit}} by snapping at her hair. It later used {{m|Double Slap}} to defeat Jessie and allowed Surskit and Pikachu to blast them off. | In [[AG048|the next episode]], Skitty let itself out of its Poké Ball on a whim, before running away on May, who had to chase it.

May had to address Skitty's flighty and mischievous behaviour in ''[[AG053|Game Winning Assist]]'', when it disturbed a group of {{p|Slugma}} and got them into trouble. She decided to teach it to battle and learned that it had the move {{m|Assist}}, but despite calling upon {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Silver Wind}}, lost its practice battle against [[Julie]] and her {{p|Furret}}. Skitty also got itself and May captured by Team Rocket when it ran after their mecha as it made off with all of Julie's sleeping {{p|Numel}}. However, Skitty managed to rouse the Numel with an Ember Assist, and then used Double Slap to smash the sprinkler Team Rocket was using to sedate them.

When May and her friends returned to [[Mauville City]] in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]'', Skitty battled with {{an|Watt}}'s {{p|Ampharos}}. Skitty landed a few hits, but was hit by {{m|Thunder Shock}} when Watt revealed that Ampharos could redirect the attack. An {{m|Iron Tail}} almost ended the battle, but Skitty used Assist to use Torchic's {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge Thunder Shock and hit Ampharos, ending the battle with Double Slap. | When May and her friends returned to [[Mauville City]] in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]'', Skitty battled with {{an|Watt}}'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', Skitty lost its voice in a battle with {{TRT}} when it inhaled Torkoal's smoke. However, [[Dr. Abby]] managed to fix this problem with a simple massage. Abby had once been a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who had gone on a journey with her Skitty, Johnny, but after it was wounded she became a {{tc|Doctor}} and evolved Skitty into {{p|Delcatty}}. Both were later stolen by Team Rocket, but broke free and turned on {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Dr. Abby helped Skitty learn {{m|Blizzard}}, just like Johnny, who could also use {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With Blizzard in its arsenal, Skitty helped send Team Rocket blasting off. | In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', Skitty lost its voice in a battle with {{TRT}} when it inhaled Torkoal's smoke.

Skitty was used in the [[Verdanturf Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG062|Disguise Da Limit]]''. A failed Blizzard almost botched its opener, but it salvaged the round by juggling with Double Slap, a trick it learned from Abby and Johnny, and this allowed it to move on to the [[Contest Battle]]s. It then defeated [[Stefano]]'s {{p|Wartortle}} and moved further on in the tournament, eventually reaching the finals where it went up against [[Timmy Grimm]] and his {{p|Dusclops}}, but it had a tough time battling it due to the ineffectiveness of {{type|Normal}} [[move|attacks]] on {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, being only able to trust in its unpredictable Assist and unmastered Blizzard. Skitty was hit by a {{m|Focus Punch}}, but failed to attack with Double Slap due to the immunity. However, Skitty managed to deflect a follow-up Focus Punch with Double Slap, only to be damaged by a [[Contest combination|combination]] of {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Psychic}}.

Dusclops gained the upper hand with a series of {{m|Hyper Beam}}s while Skitty could not muster Blizzard to create opposition. Ultimately, Skitty used Assist to get {{m|Gust}} and defend herself from Hyper Beam. It then used {{m|String Shot}} through Assist to block Focus Punch, and Ember to block Will-O-Wisp. Finally, Skitty pulled off Blizzard and knocked out Timmy's Dusclops, winning the tournament. | ||
May also used Skitty in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''. After using {{m|Razor Leaf}} Assist, Blizzard and Double Slap to pass the first round, Skitty fought {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}} and his {{p|Houndoom}} in the second round, where the two were evenly matched until an explosion caused by the collision of {{m|Flamethrower}} and Blizzard knocked Houndoom out. In the final round, Skitty took a battering from [[Erica]]'s {{p|Jynx}} but managed to recover with a String Shot from Assist, which bound up Jynx. However, another Assist produced Razor Leaf to free Jynx, leaving it at Jynx's mercy. Subsequent Assists produced useless String Shots and Vine Whips, until it became {{m|Fire Spin}}, which directly hit Jynx. May then ordered Skitty to use Tackle, which ended the battle and won the Contest for May. | May also used Skitty in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''.

Skitty is a very ditzy and mischievous Pokémon, often letting itself out of its [[Poké Ball]] and provoking trouble with wild Pokémon. This was slightly addressed by encounters with [[Julie]] and [[Dr. Abby]]. However, Skitty is still a very poor team player, as evidenced in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', where it proved incompatible with both [[Ash's Corphish]] and [[Jessie's Seviper]]. | Skitty is a very ditzy and mischievous Pokémon, often letting itself out of its [[Poké Ball]] and provoking trouble with wild Pokémon.
