Black 2 · White 2
It dislikes dirty places. It often searches for a comfortable place in which to groom itself.
HeartGold · SoulSilver · X

Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Y
The favorite of trend-conscious female TRAINERS, they are used in competition for their style and fur.
FireRed · LeafGreen
Rather than keeping a permanent lair, it habitually seeks comfortable spots and sleeps there. It is nocturnal and becomes active at dusk.
Emerald
DELCATTY sleeps anywhere it wants without keeping a permanent nest. If other Pokémon approach it as it sleeps, this Pokémon will never fight - it will just move away somewhere else.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
DELCATTY prefers to live an unfettered existence in which it can do as it pleases at its own pace. Because this Pokémon eats and sleeps whenever it decides, its daily routines are completely random.
