54 Psyduck Icon Psyduck Water Damp
Cloud Nine
Swift Swim

While Skitty has pretty wide coverage thanks to its movepool, it still needs protection from Fighting-types, which Psyduck can provide through its Psychic-type moves.

As a Water-type Pokemon, Psyduck can also cover Rock-type Pokemon, which resist Normal-type moves.

Best Moveset

Move Type
Range
Effect

4 tiles away
It fires off a cold beam, damaging a Pokemon, even one far away. It could also make the enemy Frozen.
Solar Beam GrassGrass
4 tiles away
You'll get the Solar Beam condition, which lets you charge power to try a powerful attack on the next turn. During Sunny weather or in Extremely Harsh Sunlight, it charges for an immediate attack on the first turn. But during Rain, Heavy Rain, Hail, or a Sandstorm, the damage will be reduced.
Thunderbolt ElectricElectric

Notes

  • STAB Double Slap provides Skitty with a go-to move for the whole game. If Skitty has access to the Steamroll Rare Quality, then Double Slap can take out any non-boss Pokemon in the game in one turn.
  • Ice Beam and Solar Beam, Thunderbolt provide Skitty with both excellent coverage and the range that Double Slap lacks. Skitty has low Sp. Atk, but through leveling, stat-boost items and held items, Special Attacks can be a great tool.
  • When using Solar Beam, Groudon can be useful ally as it can provide both Sunlight and Extremely Harsh Sunlight.
  • Other moves to consider are Blizzard, Shadow Ball and Thunder.
