  • Pelipper's unique typing and ability allow it to check strong physical attackers like Koraidon, Great Tusk, and Iron Treads.
  • Heavy-Duty Boots is essential for Pelipper to switch in frequently without worrying about Stealth Rock damage; however, Damp Rock may be considered on offensive rain teams and other builds that have solid entry hazard removal.
  • Pelipper's access to reliable recovery and Knock Off lets it switch into and cripple passive Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Corviknight, and defensive variants of Iron Treads and Great Tusk.
  • 0 Speed IVs make Pelipper slower than Corviknight and Ting-Lu, allowing it to safely pivot into a teammate.
  • Pelipper can Terastallize into the Ground typing to absorb the rare Wild Charge from Koraidon and Iron Treadswhile also letting it survive an Electric-type attack from Miraidon and Gothitelle in a pinch and pivot to a teammate that checks them. Alternatively, Tera Fairy Pelipper can wall every Koraidon set.
  • Most special attackers in the tier threaten Pelipper, so it is necessary to pair it with special walls such as Ting-Lu, Iron Treads, Corviknight, and Clodsire. Physical walls like Skeledirge and defensive Great Tusk are also greatly appreciated as backup checks to Koraidon, since Choice Band and Wild Charge variants can break through Pelipper.
  • Offensive teammates such as Iron Bundle, Palafin, Tera Water Miraidon, and Floatzel benefit from Pelipper's ability to set rain and pivot safely into them.

HDB should be default with Damp Rock slashed because Pelipper will need to switch in frequently to win the weather war.

and beneath the mist, i saw my true reflection

(...)since Choice Band and Wild Charge variants can counter Pelipper.
i think "can lure" is better here for what youre trying to say no?

floatzel is a good teammate too as it outspeeds the whole meta under rain and like palafin has absurdly strong wave crashes (tera water 2hkos pex after hazards without rain)

not much else to say , looks good
1/2

AMQC: tera fairy should be considered as a viable slash since it allows pellipper to fully resists all of koraidons attacks and allows it to wall it completely.

Explain the item choice; one would expect a Drizzle Pokemon with what you wrote as the first sentence to run Damp Rock.
capitalize the words "Terastallize" and "Pokemon", hyphenate "Electric-type" and drop the "Hero" from Palafin- it has one ability and the base form is literally useless.

Keep mashing's QC tag but for future reference don't credit an AMQC if an official QC member doesn't approve it.

good work, 2/2
