Skitty

Skitty in the anime: May's scatterbrained catch

May caught her Skitty in its first anime episode, "I Feel Skitty!," and it spent her Hoenn journey as an airheaded troublemaker that regularly stumbled into scrapes with other Pokémon. Meowth fell for a different Skitty in "Big Meowth, Little Dreams," and a flashback in "Delcatty Got Your Tongue" showed Dr. Abby contesting with a Skitty nicknamed Johnny, a Delcatty by the time of the episode.

Skitty on cards: Ruby & Sapphire trio to Ascended Heroes

Skitty arrived three times in Ruby & Sapphire (2003): an Uncommon at #44 illustrated by Midori Harada and two Commons, #70 by Ken Sugimori and #71 by Atsuko Nishida. Sandstorm, Legend Maker, Crystal Guardians and Power Keepers each added another through the EX era, and Legends Awakened and Platinum carried it into Diamond & Pearl.

Skitty is an everyday Common and Uncommon species rather than a chase card, and it has been a regular in beginner products: the 2004 EX Trainer Kit with Latias, the 2013 Kalos Starter Set, the XY Trainer Kit built around Latios and the 2015 McDonald's Collection. Atsuko Nishida has drawn it three times, from Ruby & Sapphire through Temporal Forces (2024), and Ascended Heroes added a Common by Yoko Hishida in 2026.
