'''May's Skitty''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのエネコ''' ''Haruka's Eneco'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by {{an|May}} during her travels through [[Hoenn]].
'''May's Skitty''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのエネコ''' ''Haruka's Eneco'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|May}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and her third overall.


==History==
==In the anime==
Skitty made its debut in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]''. [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] wandered off during a training session and met a sick Skitty who would not eat or battle. Brock suggested they take it to a Pokémon Aromatherapy Center, where it was revealed that Skitty had wandered in the desert so long, it lost its sense of smell. Skitty recovered after it was sprayed with some medicine. [[Team Rocket]] then kidnapped Skitty because [[Jessie]] wanted it for herself. However, {{MTR}} fell in love with Skitty and 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. Eventually, May and Jessie had a Pokémon battle with their {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to decide who would get Skitty; May proved victorious.
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
Skitty debuted in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]'', when {{TP|May|Torchic}} wandered off during a {{pkmn|training}} session and met it when it was apparently wounded. Following on {{an|Brock}}'s suggestion that they take it to [[The Greenhouse]], Skitty received some aromatherapy treatment for its fatigue. {{TRT}} later accidentally kidnapped Skitty during their perfume heist. However, [[Jessie]] was quickly taken by its cuteness and wanted it for herself. {{MTR}}, who developed a crush on Skitty, assisted Skitty in escaping the many misfortunes that always befall the Rocket trio. Eventually, May and Jessie had a Pokémon battle with their {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to decide who would get Skitty; May proved victorious, and Skitty accidentally allowed itself to be {{pkmn2|caught}} after chasing one of her {{i|Poké Ball}}s.
[[File:May and Skitty.png|thumb|left|220px|Skitty and May]]
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 unintentionally succeeded in 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 [[Ash's Pikachu]] to blast them off.


May temporarily left Skitty at her house because it liked the greenhouse there. She returned it to her party (it is unknown if permanently) in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', and for the [[Wallace Cup]] where it defeated an {{p|Exeggutor}} with {{m|Blizzard}}.
In ''[[AG053|Game Winning Assist]]'', May had to address Skitty's flighty and mischievous behavior 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}}, it 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. It later used Ember through Assist in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]'' to drive away a group of {{p|Magnemite}} that were attacking a {{AP|Torkoal}}.


===Personality===
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, winning the battle with Double Slap.
When Skitty was first caught, during a few episodes it let itself out of its [[Poké Ball]] in the same way that [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[James's Mime Jr.]] do.


Skitty has a very cute and charming personality. Skitty is always cheerful, and loves to play with mops, string, and its own tail. Skitty can be a bit ditzy at times, though.
[[File:May Skitty Johnny Blizzard.png|thumb|220px|Learning Blizzard from Abby and Johnny]]
In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', Skitty lost its voice in a battle with {{TRT}} when it inhaled {{AP|Torkoal}}'s smoke. However, [[Dr. Abby]] managed to fix this problem with a simple massage. While Skitty was being treated, May learned that Abby was the [[Top Coordinator]] she read about in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Coordinator Monthly}} magazine. She was impressed by Abby's achievements and asked to see her partner Pokémon, a {{p|Delcatty}} [[nickname]]d Johnny. May's Skitty and Johnny were later captured 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. With Blizzard in its arsenal, Skitty helped send Team Rocket blasting off. As a result of the battle, May decided to use Skitty in her next Contest.


==Moves used==
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 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 and 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.

[[File:May Skitty Grand Festival.png|thumb|left|220px|Skitty in the Grand Festival]]
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 ordered Skitty to use Tackle, which ended the battle and won the Contest for May.
 
In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', [[Harley]] deceived May and told her to use only Assist in the main Appeals Round of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. This put May at risk of being eliminated from the event as [[Contest Judge|Head Judge]] [[Raoul Contesta]] soon became unimpressed due to May overusing Assist to display the charms of her other Pokémon rather than Skitty's. Eventually, Assist turned into {{m|Petal Dance}} and Skitty ended up {{status|confusion|confusing}} itself. However, May was able to save the act by creating an ice sculpture with Blizzard that allowed her to move onto the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]].
 
In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', Skitty and {{TP|May|Combusken}} fought against [[Drew's Roselia]] and {{p|Flygon}}, and began well by using an Assist Fire Spin to burn up Roselia's attacks. However, Combusken lost a bout with Flygon and fell on it, injuring Skitty. Despite fighting back valiantly, they were unable to overcome the teamwork of Flygon and Roselia and Skitty was knocked out with Combusken.
 
After the [[Ever Grande Conference]], May left Skitty at [[Petalburg Gym|her house]] because it liked the greenhouse there.
 
=====Kanto=====
May returned Skitty to her party in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]''. It, alongside Beautifly, created a new Contest combination by combining Blizzard and {{m|Psychic}} to make a snow tornado.
 
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Skitty reappeared in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' when May came to [[Sinnoh]] to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]]. It was shown defeating an {{p|Exeggutor}} with Blizzard during the competition.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Corphish May Skitty Tag.png|thumb|220px|Skitty failing at teamwork]]
Skitty is a very ditzy and mischievous Pokémon, often letting itself out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and provoking trouble with [[wild Pokémon]]. This was slightly addressed by encounters with [[Julie]] and [[Dr. Abby]]. However, Skitty has shown to be a natural in [[Pokémon Contests]], as it helped {{an|May}} win her [[AG062|second]] and [[AG116|last]] ribbon to compete in the [[Grand Festival]].
 
Though friendly with other Pokémon, Skitty also proved to be a poor team player, as evidenced in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', in which it had compatibility issues with both [[Ash's Corphish]] and [[Jessie's Seviper]] while working alongside them in [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]]s. Skitty showed improvement by ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'' though, where it battled [[Drew's Roselia]] and {{p|Flygon}} together with [[May's Combusken]] in the quarterfinals of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. However, Skitty and its partner could still not match the masterful teamwork [[Drew]]'s Pokémon displayed.
 
Skitty has a very cute and charming personality and is always cheerful. As described in the [[Pokédex]], Skitty loves to play with moving objects, its own tail, and the tails of other Pokémon, such as {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, and {{p|Aipom}}.
