Pelipper punches above its weight class thanks to Drizzle. It sets rain on switch-in, which is enough to make up for stats that don't impress on their own. Ground moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Water Bird Pokemon.

Pelipper's spread isn't flashy. Defense leads, Attack trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 2 Defense EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

Pokedex Entries

It is a messenger of the skies, carrying small Pokémon and eggs to safety in its bill.

Sword

Skimming the water’s surface, it dips its large bill in the sea, scoops up food and water, and carries it.

Shield

Pelipper Weakness

Excellent

Pelipper's Water/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Rock moves. Electric hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Ground-type attacks completely. It resists 5 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Pelipper's physical bulk (base 100 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

The physical wall spread is where Pelipper earns its spot. Damprock for extra utility, Bold nature for the right lean, and Roost handles sustain. Drizzle does the rest without needing a move slot.

The natural movepool does the job, but Aerial Ace and Air Cutter from the egg pool give Pelipper something extra. Pair those with Brave Bird and Hurricane for STAB and coverage across 8 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

    or evolve from Wingull (Step 1)

  • Don't let Pelipper's 440 base stat total fool you. Drizzle is what makes it tick — it punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier.

  • Watch for Jolteon (Electric) and Golem (Rock) when using Pelipper. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Jolteon is the most dangerous since Electric moves deal 4x damage. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Wingull evolves into Pelipper at level 25. Pelipper is the fully evolved form. It sits at 440 BST in its evolved form.

  • Run Drizzle on Pelipper. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Pelipper also gets Keen Eye and Rain Dish, but they don't compare.

  • Pelipper fills the balanced role. It's a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • Pelipper appears in 15 games, including Ruby & Sapphire, FireRed & LeafGreen, and Emerald.

Pelipper first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 15 games across 7 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
