Delibird in Competitive battlingFor the Pokemon to receive the honor of being given the first gen 6 analysis of Pokemon Wars is ... Delibird? Umm... yeah delibird has never been a great Pokemon competitively but glad to see you guys are getting into the spirit of the holidays. It's highest stat is a 75 base speed which is ... below average. Lets see it learns one move by level up ... present ... which has a chance to heal the opponent. It's got some cool egg moves! It gets rapid spin ... but it's 4x weak to stealth rock ... I guess it is still good for spinning spikes and toxic spikes. It gets destiny bond ... attach a choice scarf and send it in on a pokemon you have problems with. You'll lose delibird but your opponent will have lost something too...assuming they attack and don't set up. It learns splash as an egg move... not really useful just thought I'd mention it. Overall good mascot for the holidays not for your team.
Example MovesetsThe Christmas Band
Delibird - Choice Band
Ability - Hustle
Nature - Jolly
Evs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Ice Shard
Ice Punch
Aerial Ace
Power-up Punch
The combination of choice band and hustle gives you ... decent attacking power. Makes sure you at least get a hit. Ice punch is stab with more power. Aerial ace never misses and is stab which is good when combined with hustle's accuracy reducing effect. Power-up punch provides coverage and can power you up (though you'll probably get knocked out before you get to anything even close scary). You could switch jolly with adamant if you just want to spam ice shard. You could also replace power-up punch with brick break/seed bomb for power/water coverage (though seed bomb is pokebank move).
Spinning toy
Delibird - focus sash

Ice Shard
Rapid Spin
Destiny bond
Ice punch/aerial ace/spikes/fake out/present/splash/other filler move
Umm yeah you could use rapid spin of delibird even if it's 4x weak to stealth rock it should still be able to spin spikes/toxic spikes away. Ice shard could be used to revenge kill if your lucky enough. Rapid spin to get rid of the hazards. Focus sash is there in case your opponent didn't use stealth rock you can guaranteed to survive a hit so you can spin away spikes. Destiny bond is there so you can take the opponent out after your done with your spinning. Last slot is filler. Ice punch and aerial ace are good stabs. Spikes can be used if your lucky enough to set them up (I honestly don't see how with delibird but your smart and if your that desperate to use delibird with spikes you'll figure it out). Fake out is a bit of free damage which good gift for you even if it's only a small amount. Fake out could also ruin sturdy and focus sash users. Present is just if you want to use delibird's signature move (after all who doesn't like using signature moves). Splash is for trolling your opponent (or in the very rare situation where your opponent uses mimic and your smart enough to predict it).
