Skitty (エネコ, Eneko) are one of the Template:Pokenum fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Skitty in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.
The name Skitty is a portmanteau of the words skittish and kitty.
Biology
Skitty is a Pokémon that is considered cute even by its Pokédex definition. According to the Pokédex, it also loves to play with moving objects, just like Meowth. Because of this, it often chases its own tail until it is dizzy. However, Skitty is more like Clefairy due to rarity, pink color and its means of evolution. Its appearance is described by the following: each ear is split into three points, its tail starts skinny, followed by a sausage shape and ending with three cherry-like points. Its body is little and its paws are stumpy. Unlike Meowth, who lacks a visible nose, Skitty has a tiny nose that looks like a dot and squinty eyes.
Skitty are unique Pokémon, as they are the only species of Pokémon to naturally learn the move Assist, which randomly picks a move off the other Pokémon from your party and attacks with it. However, there are Pokémon which can have Assist bred into them, like Meowth.

In the Anime
In the Pokémon anime, May has a Skitty that she uses for Pokémon Contests. It can juggle and perform a variety of attacks, for which it also is useful in battle, when it is not chasing its own tail. May's Skitty (like Jessie's Wobbuffet and Misty's Psyduck) has a knack for coming out of its Poké Ball at some inappropriate moments, which may make May's opponent think it's her next battle Pokémon.
In the Pokémon Chronicles episode "A Little Skitty" , Meowth falls in love with a female Skitty that's sleeping on a balcony and tries to impress her with flowers, songs, etc. However, a runaway Azurill always ruins the moment.
In the Manga
In Pokémon Adventures, Ruby had a Skitty named Coco (derived from its Japanese name, Eneko) which was his staple Pokémon for Cute Contests. Coco evolved in Granite Cave when she accidentally touched a Moon Stone that was hanging on Steven's belt.
Other Properties
Skitty has appeared on a few TCG cards in the EX series, its debut was in the EX:Ruby/Sapphire set.
