In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 440, Pelipper plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Defense at 100, while Attack (50) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Water, Flying combination gives Pelipper 5 resistances, 1 immunity, and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Electric moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Pelipper a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
