Delibird is a stupendous Ice and Flying-typed Pokemon. It's a pretty common sight to see Delibird out in the 2nd generation battlefield. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Delibird is weak to Electric, Fire, Rock, and Steel-typed attacks.
Delibird is a sensational Physical Sweeper. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Years before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Headbutt is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Fly is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Flying-type move (flies up on first turn, then strikes the next turn). ♦ Mud-Slap is a physical 20-base power Ground-type move (100% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage). ♦ Detect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Delibird this turn).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
