Skitty made her debut in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]''. [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] wandered off during a training session and met a sick Skitty who would not eat or battle. Brock suggested they take her to a Pokémon Aromatherapy Center, where it was revealed that Skitty had wandered in the desert so long, she lost her sense of smell. Skitty recovered after she was sprayed with some medicine. [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] then kidnapped Skitty because [[Jessie]] wanted her for herself. However, {{MTR}} fell in love with Skitty and tried to help Skitty escape, because he did not want such a cute Pokémon to have to suffer the many misfortunes that always befall the trio. Eventually, May and Jessie had a Pokémon battle with their {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to decide who would get Skitty; May proved victorious. | Skitty made her debut in ''[[AG047|I Feel Skitty!]]''.

In [[AG048|the next episode]], Skitty let herself out of her Poké Ball on a whim, before running away on May, who had to chase her. This became a running gag, including in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]'', where [[Max (AG049)|Max]] told [[Max]] that Skitty was generally a troublesome Pokémon and required a disciplined Trainer. It barely paid attention when introduced to the other Pokémon, but succeeded in (unintentionally) keeping Jessie away from Max's {{p|Surskit}} by snapping at her hair. It later used {{m|DoubleSlap}} to defeat Jessie and allow Surskit and Pikachu to blast them off. | In [[AG048|the next episode]], Skitty let herself out of her Poké Ball on a whim, before running away on May, who had to chase her.

When May and her friends returned to [[Mauville City]] in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]'', Skitty battled with [[Watt|Watt's]] {{p|Ampharos}}. Skitty landed a few hits, but was hit by {{m|ThunderShock}} when Watt revealed that Ampharos could redirect the attack. An {{m|Iron Tail}} almost ended the battle, but Skitty used Assist to use Torchic's {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge ThunderShock and hit Ampharos, ending the battle with DoubleSlap. | When May and her friends returned to [[Mauville City]] in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]'', Skitty battled with [[Watt|Watt's]] {{p|Ampharos}}.

In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', Skitty lost her voice in a battle with {{TRT}}. However, [[Dr. Abby]] managed to fix this problem with a simple massage. Abbey had once been a co-ordinator who had gone on a journey with her Skitty, Johnny, but after it was wounded she became a doctor and evolved Skitty into {{p|Delcatty}}. Both were later stolen by Team Rocket, but broke free and turned on {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Dr. Abbey helped Skitty learn {{m|Blizzard}}, just like Johnny, who could also use {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With Blizzard in her arsenal, Skitty helped send Team Rocket blasting off. | In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', Skitty lost her voice in a battle with {{TRT}}.

May also used Skitty in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''. After using {{m|Razor Leaf}} Assist, Blizzard and DoubleSlap to pass the first round, Skitty fought [[Joshua]] and his {{p|Houndoom}} in the second round, where the two were evenly matched until an explosion caused by a {{m|Flamethrower}}/Blizzard knocked Houndoom out. In the final round, Skitty took a battering from [[Erica]]'s {{p|Jynx}} but managed to recover with a String Shot from Assist, which bound up Jynx. However, another Assist produced Razor Leaf to free Jynx, leaving her at Jynx's mercy. Subsequent Assists produce useless String Shot and Vine Whip, until it becomes {{m|Fire Spin}} to directly hit Jynx. May ordered Skitty to use Tackle, which ended the battle and won the contest for May. | May also used Skitty in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''.

In the [[Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', [[Harley]] deceived May and told her to use only Assist. The judges soon became unimpressed as Skitty overused Assist and ended up confusing itself with {{m|Petal Dance}}. However, it saved the day by creating a magnificent ice sculpture with Blizzard and allowed May to move onto the battle round. | In the [[Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', [[Harley]] deceived May and told her to use only Assist.

In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', Skitty and {{TP|May|Combusken}} fought against [[Drew]]'s {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} and {{p|Flygon}}, and began well by using an Assist Fire Spin to burn up Roselia's attacks. However, Combusken lost a bout with Flygon and fell on her, injuring her. Despite fighting back valiantly, they were unable to overcome the teamwork of Flygon and Roselia and Skitty was knocked out with Combusken. | In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', Skitty and {{TP|May|Combusken}} fought against [[Drew]]'s {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} and {{p|Flygon}}, and began well by using an Assist Fire Spin to burn up Roselia's attacks.

After the [[Ever Grande Conference]], May left Skitty at her [[Petalburg Gym#In the anime|house]] because she liked the greenhouse there. She returned briefly to her to her party in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]''. | After the [[Ever Grande Conference]], May left Skitty at her [[Petalburg Gym#In the anime|house]] because she liked the greenhouse there.

[[File:Ash_Corphish_May_Skitty_Tag.png|thumb|200px|Skitty failing at teamwork]] | |||
Skitty is a very ditzy and mischievous Pokémon, often letting herself out of her [[Poké Ball]] and provoking trouble with wild Pokémon. This was slightly addressed by encounters with [[Julie]] and [[Dr. Abby]]. However, Skitty is still a very poor team player, as evidenced in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', where she proved incompatible with both [[Ash's Corphish]] and [[Jessie's Seviper]]. Whilst she showed improvement in the Grand Festival battle with Drew, she and Combusken could still not match Drew's Pokémon's teamwork. | Skitty is a very ditzy and mischievous Pokémon, often letting herself out of her [[Poké Ball]] and provoking trouble with wild Pokémon.
