Skitty question

[Darth Murkrow]

Is the move Attract on a Skitty redundant? I know that Cute Charm infatuates oppositely-gendered Pokemon, but it doesn't work 100% of the time and the opponent needs to use an attack that makes contact with her in order to trigger it. I also have Sing on her, and I don't know which one to stick with; sing doesn't hit a lot of the time, but it can stall other female Pokemon if and when it hits. I've decided to make her a wild card and stick some unexpected moves on her, but I'm trying to decide if Attract should stay. Any suggestions?

I say ditch Skitty.

But if you still want to keep Skitty, I'd say keep Attract. Cute Charm is too unreliable.

Or if it's just in-game, you could most probably over-level her, suggesting attract useless.
(any decent damage move will KO the enemy when you over-level it anyway)

It's better to trap the foe with Sing and Heal Bell. Return for power, or Covet to cripple opponents more. If you want it to be a real wildcard, try Assist. Or you can replace one of the previous moves with Charm so the foe has to hit more often, which raises the chance of Cute Charm kicking in.

I'd say evolve skitty, it is stronger as a dellcatty...

[Darth Murkrow]

I'll get around to evolving her, really. :wink:

I pulled out the game and decided to raise my team up again (translation: way over level) and found my skitty with a moveset of shockwave, sing, attract, and solarbeam.

Keep in mind this was years ago. :oops: I've learned now, really.

I think blizzard is better than shock wave.

Secret Power is a good move, as well as thunder bolt...
