Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-08)
Pelipper holds a 7.93% single-format share at rank 23, serving as the textbook rain setter. Drizzle appears on 99.9% of sets, Damp Rock extends rain to eight turns in 62.5% of cases, and Focus Sash accounts for 32.3% of item slots. Its Electric weakness is brutal at 4x, but Ground immunity and resistances to Fire, Water, Fighting, Bug, and Steel let it switch in comfortably outside sand and hail matchups.
Playstyle:Gameplay revolves around rain support and pivot utility. Focus Sash sets keep the rain online even after a one-shot, while Damp Rock variants press with Surf or Hurricane turns. Hurricane at 25% leads the movepool over Surf at 17.7% and U-turn at 24.3%, and Weather Ball sits at just 6.7%, showing most players prefer the Flying STAB over the Normal-type coverage option. Bold 32/0/23/0/11/0 and Relaxed 32/0/23/0/11/0 dominate Sash sets, pushing physical bulk to absorb neutral hits, while Modest 2/0/0/32/0/32 at 26.4% maximises special output under the Sash lifeline.
At 8.29% with rank 18 in doubles, Pelipper remains the rain-mode staple but its item profile shifts sharply: Sitrus Berry leads at 52%, Focus Sash follows at 25%, and Damp Rock falls to just 6.1%. Doubles players treat it as a bulky support that survives longer engagements and heals back with Sitrus rather than a weather extender.
Playstyle:Doubles Pelipper leans on support: Tailwind at 21.6% and Wide Guard at 14.3% anchor the kit, with Protect at 8.4% as a frequent add. Hurricane 24.8% and Weather Ball 23% split the offensive load almost evenly, the latter becoming a Water-type nuke under rain. Timid speed-leaning sets at 11.7% secure Tailwind and Wide Guard priority, pairing with Archaludon 16.4% and Swampert-Mega 12% as the classic rain damage core.
