>Protect is to Double Battles as teasing Delphox is to our writer Blue Harvest -- It's necessary, except in extraordinary circumstances. One of which being holding Choice Band and running Protect, don't do that.

>b tier in NU
Where's the NU ranking for XY?

Well w/e it's #93 in usage. They really need to stop the Delphox shit, it's old and they've covered a bunch of stuff that are legitimately more awful than Delphox.

There isn't. It's just a meme.

I liked Delphox's design from day one, it was just kind of disappointing that it has such a poor in-game movepool (no Hypnosis, no coverage outside of Fire/Psychic STABs, not even a lot of fun status moves to abuse).

Delphox is my favorite Gen 6 starter, and the only thing I can come up with for him is walling special attackers.

It has Grass Knot at least. Which is a reason why it's so good in RU where it's not horribly eclipsed by other pokemon; STABs+Grass Knot is very good coverage, and it can boost with Calm Mind which makes it really hard to wall.

Magic Coat can work wonders, and Fire/Psychic has pretty good coverage itself. I wouldn't claim it deserves to be OU or anything, but it's certainly not the levels of shit some people think.

Delphox is okay and has a niche; but what really, what would have made it better is more Sp. Attack and a wider move pool. It's a god-damn wizard.

But what would you Coat? No one's going to WoW it, paralyse is unnecessary because it get's OHKO'd so easy, and Leech Seed is only used by Grass-types.

Then, it's an easy prediction that it carrys coat. No good player would setup if the opponent leads with Delphox.

Quoted By:

The correct way to use Delphox is to wall a special attacker, force that special attacker to switch out, and predict the switch so you can Wish whoever you switch Delphox out for, or Will-o-Wisp the physical attacker trying to punish Delphox.

Literally any other strategy is better served by another Pokemon, and I say this as someone who picked Delphox as a starter.
