Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleSkitty evolves whenever you use the Moon Stone; the comparison below assumes you do it at level 7, the level you first meet it. Evolving then forfeits 6 moves that Skitty would still learn: Assist at 19, Charm at 25, Feint Attack at 27, Covet at 31, Heal Bell at 37, Double-Edge at 39.
| Move you would forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Assist | 19 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone. |
| Charm | 25 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone. |
| Feint Attack | 27 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone. |
| Covet | 31 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone. |
| Heal Bell | 37 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone. |
| Double-Edge | 39 | Yes, a move tutor teaches it once; see tutors. |
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
