Pelipper (Japanese : ペリッパー Pelipper ) is a dual-type Water /Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III .
It evolves from Wingull starting at level 25.
Biology
Pelipper is a pelican-like Pokémon whose head and bill make up the majority of its body. It has white feathers with a short, blue crest on top of its head. There are three blue digits on each of its wide wings, and it has blue feet with three webbed digits. Each eye is made of two black semicircles with a horizontal white line between them. Its large yellow bill appears to extend along its underside. Inside the bill is a throat pouch that it used to carry eggs and small Pokémon. Skimming across the top of waves, it scoops food from the sea and swallows it in one gulp. It builds its nest on steep cliffs facing the sea . It can also be seen bobbing in the ocean while resting its wings.
