- 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.
