PikipekLost Thunder #163 Pokémon Card

Pikipek, the Woodpecker Pokémon, is a Normal/Flying type introduced in Generation VII, specifically in the Alola region. Its design is clearly inspired by real-world woodpeckers, featuring a distinctive red crest, black and white plumage, and a sharp, pointed beak. Pikipek is the first stage in a three-stage evolutionary line, evolving into Trumbeak at Level 14 and then into Toucannon at Level 28. In the Pokémon world, Pikipek are known for their incredibly fast pecking ability, capable of striking 16 times per second. This rapid pecking isn't just for finding food; they also use it to communicate with each other and to hollow out trees for nests. Their diet primarily consists of berries and small insects found within tree bark. Pikipek are quite common in forest environments throughout Alola, often seen in large flocks. In the anime, Ash catches a Pikipek early in his Alola journey, highlighting its role as a common, yet capable, Pokémon. Its evolution, Toucannon, becomes a powerful ally, showcasing the potential within this seemingly ordinary bird Pokémon. Pikipek's straightforward design and accessibility make it a beloved early-game companion for many trainers.
