It is the evolved form of Wingull, transforming from a small, agile seabird into a much larger, pelican-like Pokémon. Pelipper is instantly recognizable by its massive, pouch-like beak, which it uses not only to scoop up fish from the ocean but also to carry small Pokémon and items. Its natural habitat is typically coastal areas, beaches, and open seas, where it can be seen soaring gracefully above the waves or diving for food. In the Pokémon games, Pelipper often serves as a reliable HM user, particularly for Fly and Surf, making it a common sight in players' teams. In the anime, Pelipper has appeared in various roles, sometimes as a messenger or a mode of transport, further emphasizing its utility and gentle nature despite its imposing size. Its design, based on a pelican, highlights its role as a caretaker and provider, often seen carrying food back to its nest. This Pokémon embodies the spirit of the sea, demonstrating both power and nurturing qualities, making it a beloved figure in the Pokémon world.
