Overview

Pelipper are most notable for their enormous beaks, which are large enough to hold a child. They use these beaks to skim the sea’s surface, swallowing the contents in single gulps; they can swallow as many as 30 Wishiwashi in one go. The beaks are also slightly buoyant; when Pelipper are tired, they rest by landing on the water and bobbing with the waves. Like Wingull, Pelipper build nests on steep seaside cliffs. In addition to catching food, their beaks also serve a myriad of other uses. Most notably, Pelipper can carry objects across large swathes of sea. In the past, people used Pelipper to send messages overseas; sailors still utilize them today to relay information, especially in areas where other forms of communication aren’t available (in this case, the middle of the ocean). Pelipper will carry small Pokémon and items across the sea in exchange for food. They are easygoing, if a bit absentminded, creatures that will gladly help lost people and Pokémon find their way back to shore, even transporting smaller ones free of charge. Pelipper live in large colonies; young males gather food for the flock.
