It's really weak to physical attacks though and has a pretty bad HP too. It can't do anything to special walls and has a huge Pursuit weakness.

Since this game introduced the Fairy type, most pokemon have been fairy throughout the game. Since Fire is 1/2 Resistant to Fairy, Delphox is the better starter for this game.

I don't see any reason to base usefulness on their capabilities against fairies and if you're going that way Greninja can change its type with Protean so it doesnt have to be weak anymore. Also, Greninja's movepool is more varied. What does Delphox has for notable special attacks? Psychic, Flamethrower/Fire Blast and Shadow Ball ONLY. It has a huge weakness against special walls, Tyranitar, Latias and Heatran. Greninja is much more versatile, the same way Infernape is.
I just feel like Delphox is basically an Alakazam without the versatile movepool.
