Mega Delphox is one of the premier special attackers in Singles, posting a 7.65% usage rate at the 1760 ladder bracket (rank 24). Its Mega-boosted Special Attack and Speed, combined with the Levitate ability granting immunity to Ground moves and Stealth Rock, give it outstanding switch-in longevity. Team building articles repeatedly cite it as the centerpiece of a three-core rotation alongside Archaludon and Primarina.
Playstyle：The standard set runs max Special Attack and max Speed with a Timid nature and Delphoxite. Core moveset: Psyshock + Flamethrower + Encore + Substitute or Nasty Plot, giving it both wall-breaking pressure and setup potential. A high-profile build article describes it as one of three pivots in a rotation with Archaludon and Primarina, finishing the cycle with a Swords Dance Kingambit sweep. Levitate lets it enter freely against Stealth Rock + sandstorm hazard stacks that plague the current meta.
Mega Delphox holds a 2.92% usage rate in Doubles (rank 43) with a 52.7% win rate and a GameWith S-tier / Smogon A-tier rating. Levitate's Ground immunity synergizes perfectly with Earthquake partners, and Heat Wave provides spread damage. Encore is especially disruptive against setup-heavy Doubles leads, cementing its role as a versatile mid-tier anchor.
Playstyle：The standard Doubles set is Timid, max SpA / max Spe, Delphoxite, running Heat Wave + Protect + Psychic + Encore or Nasty Plot. Build articles describe a synergy with Sneasler: Mega Delphox manages KO sequencing with spread Heat Wave while Sneasler lands priority moves for cleanup. Incineroar is a common partner for Intimidate support, creating safe switch-in windows.
Base-form Delphox posts a mere 0.03% usage rate at the 1760 bracket (rank 219), making it a fringe pick by any measure. With Mega Delphox occupying the same slot at 7.65%, there is almost no incentive to forgo the Mega Evolution. Only 19 appearances in the top-300 ladder teams confirm its extreme niche status.
Playstyle：The rare base-form set leans on the Magician ability (82.4%) to steal opposing items, commonly paired with Colbur Berry (36.8%) for Dark-type resistance or Focus Sash (17.9%) for guaranteed survival. EV spreads mirror Mega Delphox's max-SpA / max-Spe distribution, with the trade-off of retaining a held item at the cost of the Mega slot. Encore + Will-O-Wisp adds disruption utility, but the set ultimately underperforms versus a Mega equivalent.
Base Delphox records just 0.03% usage in Doubles (rank 218). The format demands higher burst damage and field control; without the Mega's stat boost, Delphox cannot reliably threaten tier-relevant threats. The rare sets use Focus Sash (82.1%) with Blaze, running Encore + Protect to disrupt setups. It is strictly a niche option under very specific team compositions.
