Pelipper acts as a rain setter to aid common rain threats such as Gyarados, Dracovish, and Barraskewda without them needing to prematurely Dynamax. In addition, Pelipper's Water / Flying typing with Roost allows it to serve as a soft check to threatening Pokemon such as Barraskewda and Rapid Spin Excadrill. U-turn allows Pelipper to bring in rain sweepers without them taking an unnecessary hit. Hurricane deals heavy damage to threats such as Hawlucha and Conkeldurr, but Knock Off is also useful for removing items from Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Rotom-W, and Toxapex on the switch. The given EV spread is used to allow Pelipper to sponge hits from physical attackers like Barraskewda and Excadrill more easily, which it is meant to check on rain teams.
Gyarados, Barraskewda, and Dracovish are capable of taking advantage of the rain Pelipper sets to become stronger wallbreakers without needing to Dynamax earlier than one would like. Barraskewda in particular benefits a lot from rain, outspeeding everything in the game under rain thanks to Swift Swim, allowing it to easily punch holes in teams. Dracovish also benefits a lot from rain, as rain allows it to threaten Pokemon such as Rotom-W and Ferrothorn much more. Ferrothorn is a great partner because it can take pressure off of Pelipper to check Water-types and can also set entry hazards against Pokemon such as Rotom-W and Toxapex, both of which Pelipper often gains momentum against. Seismitoad is also a good teammate because it provides an Electric immunity and has Stealth Rock to free up a moveslot for Ferrothorn.
