Notes
to be honest, I don't like to use attract. Yes I will have Skitty in one or two playthroughs and yes with double slap but I just don't like attract at all. It makes the game to easy and I always want a challenge and attract just takes it away. The only time I used attract was in the explorers series due to gender being a huge part in battle. that way you had to use strategy and skill in order to beat bosses instead of using attract all the time.

>>7 Delcatty is still pure normal. So Sylveon does have a very unique type in this game.
