Description
In Pokemon, there was a streak of fire/fighting (get it...firefighting) type fire starters. However, in the latest generation, Pokemon XY, Delphox broke the streak with its fire/psychic typing!Β Unlike the fire/fighting pokemon it can learn a water type move (ignoring how Emboar can learn scald) so despite it not being able to utilize the firefighting pun, it can actually fight the fire like a firefighter.Related content

I didn't know Emboar can learn scald. Β That means Β he's the ultimate Fire Fighter to also fight fires.

We still have a Fighting starter, Chesnaught.

And it makes him 4x weak to Flying. Ouch.

And Flying Press. The move is still labeled as Fighting Type (in name only).

I was so excited for my Braixen to evolve because I thought that the stick it acquired was going to be a sword - then Delphox became a wizard and honestly that was even better. xD

WHY can Delphox learn rain dance? Its a fire type!
π: 0 β©: 2
It really is odd! And the fact that it can't learn moves that a magician would use, such as Ice Beam and Thunderbolt.. It has a wand! It needs to know those moves!

Its not like it has any moves that would benefit from rain dance either. It can't learn surf (I've seen mages in RPGS use giant tidal wave spells) so no water boost damage, nor can it learn thunder, a staple mage class move!
Oh, but it can learn fucking SIGNAL BEAM. In fact, lets look at how wide its movepool is after taking in move tutors in ORAS and breeding, minus the obvious fire and psychic moves, and moves everything can learn like hidden power:
Toxic (every pokemon can learn that)
Shock wave (why this but not thunderbolt?)
Hyper beam (almost any pokemon can learn this too)
Signal beam (just why)
Dazzling gleam (ok, I get this one)
Solar beam (need sunny day)
Shadow ball
That's what? 6 forms of effective type coverage on a mage? (subtracting solar beam for its 2 turn use) At this point, you'd be better off going with a Gardevoir.

Yeah it's rather silly, in my opinion. If you're going to design a Pokemon around being a freakin' mage but give it absolutely nothing that a mage would know, it's going to be rather silly that the design is a mage! If it had a much larger type coverage I could nearly guarantee that this Pokemon, at least in the competitive scene, would be a bit higher than it already is.

Good damn question. I've allways wondered the same thing...

What?Delphox can learn Rain Dance!?I have one,and he doesn't learn it!Or I just didn't notice....

Hey! You can talk?!
*pushes Serena to take Delphox*

Fire type learning water type move? mind blown.
π: 0 β©: 0
Well Gen 3 Charizard could use a grass move! Solar Beam!

Serena just use a Water type !

I love Delphox due to the fact it resembles a black mage, where in final fantasy, i spam magic everywhere

Delphox has a point... now why would you want it to learn rain dance... i mean, a move that weakens his fire type moves?... you kidding right?.
π: 0 β©: 2
You could switch out to something with Swift Swim or Hydration, or if you have one switch, to Castform.
π: 0 β©: 0
Because it could then use Rain Dance to put out the fire...
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, but i meant game-wise...
π: 0 β©: 2
Considering that it's also a psychic pokemon, it could use it to throw off its opponents.

Interesting thing, Delphox can also learn Shockwave and Thunder Punch.

Why did Serena run away when she heard Fire/Psychic?
π: 0 β©: 1
Because Fire-Psychic can't fight fires...

It's...probably a torrent of steaming saliva...

May God help anyone who gets hit by that.

I never liked delphox it was all ways too weak compared to chesnaught n geninja
π: 0 β©: 1
Delphox got Dazzling Gleam and Signal Beam in ORAS! Now it can go on an equal footing with Chesnaught and Greninja!
π: 0 β©: 1
for me, it faints every fight so i just use garchomp

That's because you're probably not using Delphox right. It's the Special Glass Cannon in the Kalos starter trio, having high Special Attack and Special Defense while lacking in Defense. Quite fitting for the mage class. (Speed is also good.) Delphox has the same Typing as Victini and Zen Darmanitan andΒ the highest Special Attack of all starters (excluding Megas), so it is worth using.Β Get some boosts in with Calm Mind (if possible), and then break down opponents with moves like Heat Wave, Psychic/Psyshock, Shadow Ball, Dazzling Gleam,Β or even Solar Beam (for Sun teams). All around, it's a Special sweeper with good typing and tons of resistances. Not that great of a movepool, but if you play your cards right, that's all you need.

idr the move-set as I thought delphox was garbage from day 1
my original file I used chespin and he never went down once
I use delphox it dies every single fight that it got the boot and was replaced by lucario

X/Y wasn't too good to many PokΓ©mon at first. ORAS was when they got better moves to use to take advantage of their STABs (Move Tutors, additional Level-Up moves, and some TMs), added moves so that it made more sense (enhanced versions of moves they could naturally learn, like Gyarados getting Crunch or Lopunny getting High Jump Kick), and the rates of learning moves became more sensible (most PokΓ©mon of this category now require less level grinding to learn their final move).
Try again with Delphox. You'll see how good it can be in ORAS onwards. Don't be pessimistic about it.
Also, it's "fainted," not "died." It's unhealthy and toxic to equate losing with death (unless the plot demands it).
