Delibird Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Delibird has niche appeal at best. 330 base stats means you're fighting uphill by mid-game. There are better Ice/Flying Pokemon available.
In Black 2 & White 2, Delibird has a 330 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Black 2 & White 2's meta. It works best as a balanced. Rapid Spin with Choice Band is the standard set.
Vital Spirit prevents sleep. That's the one you want on Delibird. Insomnia is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Hustle works too if your team needs something different.
In Black 2 & White 2, Delibird fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 55 Attack. Base 75 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's fragile, can't afford to take many hits.
