What is a good moveset for Delibird?

Question

It was bad back in Generation Two, but all the new changes since then has made it... still really bad. Why anybody would care about a moveset for this guy is beyond me, nobody should even think about using him. Anyways, mine has the ability Vital Spirit which is good considering that Hustle is in my opinion the worst ability in the game (maybe along with Truant and Slow Start.) My Delibird is fairly equal in Sp. Attack and Attack. It knows:

Focus Punch: High power, high accuracy, deals with Steel and Rock types.
Water Pulse: Decent power, decent chance to confuse, high accuracy, deals with Fire and Rock types.
Ice Beam: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, chance to freeze.
Toxic: Inflicts toxic poison. Might as well get some use out of Delibird.

Seriously, why are you spending time on this one? Or you're trying to insult someone by actually using this thing?

*claps while laughing* BRILLIANT IDEA! 10/10! WOULD USE!
HAHAHAHA! OMG THIS IS SO FUNNY YET GENIUS AT THE SAME TIME!

Answer 2

I would trade in focus punch for brick break, for the better reliability. I'd rather use Luvdisc than him.

And with Luvdisc getting an evolution...

---

Luvdisc doesn't have an evolution

---

They did not know that back then. They just assumed Alomomola would be an evolution due to being like 3 of them in one...

Luvdisc is considered by many to be the worst pokemon ever. Do you really hate Delibird that much?

Answer 10

Unlike most, I chose to have my delibird have hustle because of his poor attack power...

Delibird @ choice band, choice scarf, or focus sash
Nature: Naive
Ability: Hustle; raises delibird's attack
EVs in speed and attack

Moves:
Aerial Ace - STAB, makes up for Hustle's reduced accuracy
Ice Shard - STAB, Priority
Bestow - If you are using a choice band or scarf, bestow will give the item to your opponent, confining them to the use of only one move. Good against set up Pokemon.
Brick break/Ice Punch - Brick Break : coverage, Ice Punch: STAB, good against slow enemies that won't be defeated by Ice shard

Answer 11

I take no credit. This Delibird lead was made by a guy named Christian.

[email protected] Sash
Ability: Vital Spirit

Spikes- Set up.

Rapid Spin- This Delibird is not meant to switch out so he only spins the early hazards.

Freeze Dry- STAB. Provides same super effective coverage as BoltBeam.

Destiny Bond- Forces switches. Is used in conjunction with Focus Sash.

Modest nature. 252 SAtk/252 Spe/4 Def EVs. Video and source of this moveset: Video
