Pelipper is a staple pick on rain teams thanks to its ability, Drizzle. Its physical bulk combined with Scald lets it check and potentially cripple foes such as Mega Lopunny, Mega Scizor, and Great Tusk. Hurricane is an alternative to Defog on teams that use Tornadus-T for entry hazard control, which offers better neutral coverage and the ability to hit foes such as Tangrowth and Tera Grass Heatran. Pelipper also operates as a slow pivot with U-turn, which is greatly appreciated by the team's wallbreakers to ensure that they can enter the field safely. Tera Ground offers an Electric immunity for threats such as Tapu Koko, whereas Tera Steel offers a strong defensive typing, letting Pelipper check Pokemon like Extreme Speed Dragonite in a pinch. As the premier rain setter, Pokemon that rely on rain to boost their power or operate effectively within it, such as Mega Swampert, Floatzel, Barraskewda, and Urshifu-R, make for common teammates. Mega Swampert offers a valuable Electric immunity for Pelipper, checking foes such as Tapu Koko. Tornadus-T can provide entry hazard control with Defog, letting Pelipper enter the field and summon rain without having to fear taking hazard damage. Ferrothorn takes advantage of Pelipper's typing and ability to form a solid defensive core and provide a robust blanket check for opposing rain. In return, Pelipper alleviates Ferrothorn's massive Fire weakness by setting rain, and it can check threats that Ferrothorn fails to cover, such as Mega Lopunny.
