Pelipper

Competitive Strategy

Pelipper is a Water/Flying rain support Pokemon with Water/Flying typing. Water/Flying STAB lets it pressure Fire, Ground, Rock, Grass, Fighting, and Bug targets. Its role depends on the format, but the type-chart job is clear: use its useful resistances, immunities, or offensive pressure to force the opponent into predictable answers rather than treating it as a generic switch-in. Stats, ability choice, and legal moves still decide how aggressively it can be positioned. The weakness profile is the central part of the page: Pelipper is 4× weak to Electric and Pelipper is 2× weak to Rock. Pelipper is immune to Ground. These numbers come from the standard type chart for Water/Flying, so ability effects, field effects, Terastallization, or format-specific rules can change an individual turn without changing the baseline matchup. Do not leave Pelipper in front of a super-effective attacker just because it has a useful offensive move in return. To use Pelipper well, bring it in through a resisted move, a pivot, a forced switch, or a revenge-kill window rather than repeated raw entries. It appreciates teammates that cover Electric and Rock pressure and create safe entries. To counter Pelipper, preserve Electric-type attackers and Rock-type attackers and pressure it before it can turn its matchup into momentum. Use the type chart first, then account for speed, bulk, ability, recovery, and revealed coverage before committing to the exchange.
