After an Agility, Pelipper outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame, and when combined with its nice STAB options, Pelipper can operate as a solid sweeper. Hydro Pump is a valuable STAB attack, hitting Pokemon such as Solrock, Simisear, and Lairon. Hurricane hits Pokemon that otherwise tank Hydro Pump, like Grass-types such as Meganium and Leafeon, as well as Walrein, and it is aided by being perfectly accurate under rain. Air Slash can be opted for instead, trading off power and accuracy in rain for a more reliable STAB move outside of it. Pelipper most commonly runs Roost in the final moveslot, allowing it to recover HP on Pokemon that don't immediately threaten it such as Clefairy or Frillish. Alternatively, Knock Off can remove Eviolite from Pokemon such as Staryu, Frillish, and Clefairy, weakening them for Pelipper or its teammates to break through them. Water Gem is generally preferred, allowing it to have a one-time boost on Hydro Pump and notably allows it to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise couldn't such as Raichu and Persian, as well as physically defensive Clefairy in rain. Alternatively, Leftovers can be used to mitigate damage, while Lum Berry allows Pelipper to set up on Pokemon attempting to status it, such as Clefairy and Frillish. Rain Dish allows Pelipper to have a bit of extra recovery under rain.

Agility Pelipper fits best on rain teams, as well as offense and balance teams looking for a solid sweeper. When Pelipper is used on a rain team, rain setters like Emolga and Illumise are required partners. Wallbreakers on rain teams like Raichu, Kingler, and Beartic can break down threats for Pelipper to win in the endgame. Pelipper's most direct threats are Electric-types like Emolga and Raichu, so Pokemon like Solrock and Graveler that can check them are great partners to have. Pivots like Persian and Mienfoo can give Pelipper a safe switch to setup. Whiscash is a notable partner; it can remove Pokemon like Emolga and Solrock that Pelipper can struggle against, and Pelipper can remove threats like Leafeon, Gloom, and Staryu for Whiscash. Other special attackers like Simisear and Mr. Mime can partner up with Pelipper to help take down their shared checks like Clefairy and Muk. If Pelipper is running Knock Off, Pokemon like Kingler and Lairon appreciate Pelipper knocking off their checks to help them break through easier.

Agility, which after a boost means Pelipper outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame, combined with its nice STAB options, with nothing in the tier resisting both Hydro Pump and Hurricane bar the niche and uncommon Corsola, Doesn't resist Hydro, run on sentence so try and split it into two if possible means Pelipper can operate as a solid late-game cleaner and setup threat. Hydro Pump is valuable STAB, hitting Pokemon such as Solrock, Simisear, and Lairon. Hurricane hits Pokemon that otherwise tank Hydro Pump, like Meganium, Leafeon, and Walrein. We forgot to include Air Slash. Include a mention of Air Slash as an option due to awful accuracy of both Hydro and Hurricane. Hurricane is the preferred option due to power in general, as well as receiving perf acc in rain. Pelipper most commonly runs Roost in the final moveslot, allowing it to recover HP on Pokemon that don't immediately threaten it such as Clefairy or Frillish. Alternatively, Knock Off can remove Eviolite and Choice Scarf from Pokemon such as Mienfoo, Staryu, and Kingler Pelipper will always just Hurricane through Kingler, make sure to add a mention of Clefairy, which is the primary reason for Knock alongside Fril. Water Gem is generally prefered, allowing it to have a one time boost on Hydro Pump and notably allows it to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise couldn't such as Raichu and Persian, as well as physically defensive Clefairy in Rain. Alternatively, Leftovers can be used to mitigate Stealth Rock damage, while Lum Berry allows Pelipper to set up on Pokemon attempting to status it, such as Clefairy and Frillish.

Agility Pelipper fits best on more offensive and balance teams looking for a solid cleaner. Pelipper's most direct threats are Electric-types like Emolga and Raichu, so Pokemon like Solrock and Graveler who can check them are great partners to have. Pivots like Persian and Mienfoo can give Pelipper a safe switchin to setup. Whiscash is a notiable partner; it can remove Pokemon like Emogla and Solrock who Pelipper can struggle against and Pelipper can remove threats like Leafeon, Gloom, and Staryu for Whiscash. Other Special attakers like Simisear and Mr. Mime can partner up with Pelipper to help take down their shared checks like Clefairy and Muk. Rain is Agi Peli's most common team pairing, so you should include a passage about it. Common partners include Raichu, Kingler, and Beartic on Rain. These more powerful and immediate breakers can create a winpath for Agi peli in the endgame. Rain also needs setters like Persian illumise Emolga, or other Rain Dance users that would situationally fit. QC2 can refine your explanation. Also include Rain Dish for section 1.

Agility, which after a boost means Pelipper outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame, combined with its nice STAB options means Pelipper can operate as a solid late-game cleaner and setup threat sweeper. First part isn't always accurate as Pelipper is usually seen on rain teams with multiple sweepers, latter part is self-explanatory Hydro Pump is valuable STAB, hitting Pokemon such as Solrock, Simisear, and Lairon. Hurricane hits Pokemon that otherwise tank Hydro Pump, like Meganium, Leafeon, and Walrein. Emphasize it hitting Grass-types super effectively. Also mention its perfect accuracy in rain to offset its horrid accuracy Air Slash can be opted for instead, trading off power and not being perfectly accurate in Rain rain in exchange for a more reliable STAB move outside of it. Pelipper most commonly runs Roost in the final moveslot, allowing it to recover HP on Pokemon that don't immediately threaten it such as Clefairy or Frillish. Alternatively, Knock Off can remove Eviolite and Choice Scarf from Pokemon such as Mienfoo, You'd just obliterate this with a Flying move Staryu, Frillish, and Clefairy. Mention how this helps, primarily by weakening them up for Pelipper's teammates or itself Water Gem is generally prefered preferred, allowing it to have a one time boost on Hydro Pump and notably allows it to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise couldn't such as Raichu and Persian, as well as physically defensive Clefairy in Rain.
