Evolves into Delcatty with a Moon Stone.

Evolve now or wait

from the game's learnsets and the relearner rule

Skitty 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 forfeitLevelCan you get it back?
Assist19No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone.
Charm25No. 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 Attack27No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Delcatty this move is gone.
Covet31No. 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 Bell37No. 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-Edge39Yes, 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.
