Stats & Training

It carries food rolled up in its tail. It has the habit of sharing food with people lost in mountains.
It carries food all day long. When someone is lost in the mountains, it shares that food.
Delibird Weakness
Rock, Fire, Electric, and Steel moves hit Delibird for super-effective damage. Rock hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all.

X & Y Evolution
Delibird doesn't evolve, so breeding's where the action is. You'll find a massive partner pool across two egg groups, and eggs are average hatch time. It's got 14 egg moves worth looking into. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Delibird easily with 200 breeding partners from the Ground and Water1 egg groups. Pass egg moves like Aurora Beam, Bestow, Destiny Bond and 11 more to offspring.
X & Y Delibird Best Moveset
Delibird leads with Focus Sash insurance. Even if it can't take a hit naturally, it'll survive long enough to deal early damage. Max Attack and Speed EVs go all-in on offense since bulk doesn't matter here.

Moves
Don't skip the egg moves. Delibird picks up Aurora Beam and Bestow only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Blizzard and Fly while Normal and Fighting coverage and more adds range.

In X & Y, Delibird has a 330 base stat total and ranks as D-Tier: outclassed by other options available in X & Y. It works best as a balanced. Destinybond with Focus Sash 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 X & Y, Ice/Flying typing gives Delibird 3 resistances plus Ground immunity. Speed at base 75 is the top stat. Dual typing means STAB coverage on both Ice and Flying moves.
