May's Skitty (Japanese: ハルカのエネコ Haruka's Eneco) was the third Pokémon caught by May during her travels through Hoenn. She was caught on Route 111. Her voice actress in both English and Japanese is 林原めぐみ Megumi Hayashibara.

Skitty made her debut in I Feel Skitty. Torchic wandered off during a training session and met a sick Skitty who would not eat nor battle. Brock suggested they take her to a Pokémon Aromatherapy Center, where it was revealed that Skitty had wandered in the desert so long that she lost her sense of smell. Skitty recovered after she was sprayed with some medicine, and she recovered. Team Rocket then kidnapped her because Jessie wanted her for herself. However, Meowth fell in love with Skitty and tried to help her escape. Eventually, May and Jessie had a Pokémon battle with their Beautifly and Dustox to decide who would get Skitty, and May proved victorious.

Skitty has a very cute and charming personality. She is always cheerful, and loves to play with mops, string, and her own tail. She can be a bit ditzy at times, though.

Apparently, Skitty in general are distantly related to Zangoose, as May's Skitty shares that species' dislike of Seviper, although this dislike is not as strong as that felt by a Zangoose.

When Skitty was first caught, she during a few episodes let herself out of her Poké Ball in the same way that Misty's Psyduck and Jessie's Wobbuffet do.
