Gen 5 [BW] Pelipper (Defensive Pivot) [DONE]

[SET COMMENTS]
Pelipper sets itself apart from other pivots and Water-types, such as Vullaby, Mienfoo, and Frillish, thanks to its unique defensive typing letting it take on Pokemon like Kingler, Pawniard, and Flareon at the same time, not relying on Eviolite to function at its fullest potential, and having neat utility options such as Scald, U-turn, Roost, and Knock Off, the latter of which allows Pelipper to remove Clefairy's Eviolite. Scald's burn chance combined with Pelipper's decent physical bulk makes it difficult for physical attackers such as Kingler and Persian to take on Pelipper. Knock Off allows Pelipper to cripple Pokemon such as Clefairy, Mienfoo, and Frillish that rely on their Eviolite to function at their highest potential. Alternatively, Toxic can be opted for instead, putting Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Shelgon and Solrock on a timer, but means Pelipper has a harder time breaking though Pokemon such as Clefairy. Rain Dish is generally useless, but it can help against the occasional rain teams.

Pelipper is generally seen on balance teams needing a reliable pivot. Pelipper's best teammates are generally ones that appreciate having a pivot to tank hits for them and allow them to come in safely as well as Pokemon that help negate Pelipper's weaknesses. Pokemon like Persian, Raichu, and Emolga can form a powerful pivot core with Pelipper. Setup sweepers such as Kingler, Lairon, and Muk enjoy having Pelipper as a teammate to help get them in safely to attempt a sweep. Special tanks such as Clefairy and Meganium can form a solid defensive core with Pelipper, with Pelipper checking foes like Magmar, Pawniard, and Beartic while Clefairy and Meganium check threats like Raichu aand Pikachu. Ground-types such as Hippopotas and Graveler are also useful partners to have, as they help with Pelipper's weaknesses to common Electric- and Rock-type attacks. Pelipper's weakness to Stealth Rock makes it difficult to get in safely often, so spinners like Staryu can be helpful to have. If Pelipper has decided to drop Knock Off in its moveset, then a way to take advantage of Clefairy is necessary. Mienfoo, Muk, and Whiscash can threaten Clefairy and force it out.

Scald's Burn chance combined with Pelipper's decent physical bulk makes it difficult for physical attackers such as Kingler and Persian to switch in take on Pelipper. U-turn allows Pelipper to gain momentum on the switches it can force. Knock Off allows Pelipper to cripple Pokemon such as Mienfoo and Frillish who rely on their Eviolites Eviolite to function at their highest potential. Alternatively, Toxic can be opted for instead, making Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Shelgon and Solrock be on a timer. Roost gives Pelipper valuable and reliable recovery. You don't need a full sentence for U-turn and Roost since they're self-explanatory, merge them with the first sentence about its useful utility. Mention why Pelipper wants Rain Dish: generally useless, but it can occasionally help against the extremely rare rain team

Pelipper's best teammates are generally ones who appreciate having a pivot to tank hits for them and allow them to come in safely aswell as well as Pokemon who helps negate Pelipper's weaknesses. Pokemon like Persian, Raichu, and Emogla can form a powerful pivot core with Pelipper. Setup sweepers such as Kingler, Lairon, and Muk enjoy having Pelipper as a teammate to help get them in safely to attempt a sweep. Special tanks such as Clefairy or Meganium can form a solid defensive core with Pelipper. Mention threats they check for each other Ground-types such as Wormadam-S Hippopotas and Graveler are also useful partners to have, as they help with Pelipper's weaknesses to common Electric- and Rock-type attacks. I think you mean Wormadam-G, and either way it's neutral to Rock

Mention what team styles Pelipper is typically seen on: usually balance. Also mention how badly it's hindered by Stealth Rock, and how Rapid spinners mitigate this issue

Knock Off allows Pelipper to cripple Pokemon such as Clefairy, Mienfoo, and Frillish who rely on their Eviolite to function at their highest potential. I would comment on Pelipper's ability to Knock Clefairy as a huge part of its niche. Other walls like Meganium Solrock and even other waters like Frillish cannot replicate this. Alternatively, Toxic can be opted for instead, making Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Shelgon and Solrock be on a timer. Clefairy etc. Roost gives Pelipper valuable and reliable recovery.

Alternatively, Toxic can be opted for instead, making putting Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Shelgon and Solrock be somewhat subjective but "be on a timer" just sounds off on a timer, but this means Pelipper has a harder time breaking though through though moment Pokemon such as Clefairy.
