Wingull doesn't have much going for it on its own — the stats just aren't there. The payoff is Pelipper, and getting there is worth the grind. Ground moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Seagull Pokemon.

Nothing fancy in Wingull's spread. It leans special with Speed out front. And you'll get 1 Speed EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

  • At 270 BST, Wingull is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Pelipper before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • Wingull's biggest threats include Manectric (Electric) and Tyranitar (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Manectric 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. Wingull is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • Keen Eye is the go-to ability for Wingull. It prevents accuracy from being lowered. Its hidden ability Rain Dish can work in specific setups. Hydration is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.

  • Wingull is a special attacker with base 55 Sp. Atk. Fragile — can't afford to take many hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 85 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many.

  • Wingull appears in 16 games, including Ruby & Sapphire, FireRed & LeafGreen, and Emerald.

Debuting in Ruby & Sapphire, Wingull appears in 16 games across 8 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through catching or hatching as a base form.
