Delphox in Pokemon Survivor

Delphox at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Delphox has 104 HP, 122 speed and a 1.33x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is above average, its speed is well above average and its attack is well above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 68.7, which puts it at rank 143 overall, rank 5 of 70 among Kalos Pokemon and rank 17 of 76 Fire-types and 18 of 96 Psychic-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Delphox sits next to Volcanion one place above it and Vikavolt one place below it.

Delphox moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Delphox starts every run with Ember: a fireball at the nearest enemy.

The level-up cards can then offer 18 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 10 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Fire moves: Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Heat Wave, Will-O-Wisp, Flame Wheel
• Psychic moves: Confusion, Psybeam, Psychic, Psycho Cut

Weaknesses and resistances

Delphox takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), Rock (1.6x), Ghost (1.6x), and Dark (1.6x). It resists Fire (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Fighting (0.6x), Psychic (0.6x), Steel (0.6x), and Fairy (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Delphox are the ones whose first type is Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, or Dark. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Fire or Psychic moves do not hit harder just because Delphox shares the type.

How to get Delphox

Delphox is part of the Kalos banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 17 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Delphox a 0.38% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 262 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Delphox exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Delphox as an enemy

Delphox can show up as a regular enemy from 6:20 into the run (enemy tier 5 and 6). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.

It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 or minute 6 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a straight charge, falling danger zones, and a fan of shots.
