Pelipper is one of Water's most valuable Pokemon thanks to its ability to set up rain to activate Swift Swim for its teammates and its various utility options. Hurricane under rain is able to consistently hit Grass- and Fighting-types like Mega Venusaur and Ogerpon-W. Alternatively, Scald punishes switch-ins like Iron Hands and Zeraora with a potential bur, and it also targets Hippowdon. U-turn in tandem with its low Speed allows Pelipper to bring in its teammates safely. With 9 Speed IVs, Pelipper underspeeds Hippowdon, guaranteeing it sets up rain after Hippowdon's sand. Mega Swampert, Barraskewda, and Kingdra appreciate Pelipper's rain, as it activates their Swift Swim to outspeed and threaten Tapu Koko, Alolan Raichu, and Mega Latias, respectively. Ogerpon-W is another beneficiary of rain, as it further boosts the power of Ivy Cudgel. Notably, Ivy Cudgel now outright OHKOes Thundurus-T, has a high chance of OHKOing Alolan Muk after Stealth Rock damage, and guarantees a 2HKO on Galarian Weezing when unboosted. Urshifu-R and Keldeo can deal with Kyurem and bulky Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Celesteela, and Empoleon. Toxapex sets up Toxic Spikes or spreads poison directly with Toxic to aid Pelipper's teammates; it is also great in the Fairy matchup, handling the likes of Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, and Azumarill.
