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.

Pelipper Weakness

Excellent

Pelipper's Water/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Rock. 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.

  • 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 D-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 16 games, including Ruby & Sapphire, FireRed & LeafGreen, and Emerald.

Pelipper first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 16 games across 8 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
