Pelipper provides rain for Water teams, which enables Barraskewda and wallbreakers like Azumarill and Walking Wake. Hurricane is the STAB move of choice, bypassing the accuracy check in rain while nailing Water-resistant Grass-types, such as Amoonguss, Meowscarada, and Breloom. Roost allows Pelipper to come in multiple times throughout the match to re-set rain if need be. U-turn let's it slow pivot into threats such as Quaquaval and Barraskewda. Knock Off cripples foes, while Surf gives a secondary STAB move boosted by rain, allowing Pelipper to wear down Pokemon like Gholdengo and Kingambit. Heavy-Duty Boots allows it to switch in and set rain even if Stealth Rock is up. An alternative EV spread of 248 HP / 48 Def / 212 Spe with a Timid nature can be used to outspeed Adamant Breloom.

Barraskewda is the obvious partner choice thanks to its ridiculous Speed with Swift Swim in rain. It also appreciates Pelipper's slow pivoting with U-turn due to its lack of bulk. Walking Wake is another great rain attacker, since its STAB Dragon-type moves hit most Water-resistant and immune foes, such as opposing Gastrodon and Amoonguss, hard. Quaquaval appreciates Pelipper's slow pivoting to come in safely and can potentially snowball through teams with rain-boosted Aqua Step and Moxie. Quaquaval can also get rid of entry hazards should Pelipper get hit by Knock Off, provided it has Rapid Spin. Gastrodon and Quagsire are also really good partners thanks to their Electric immunities. Both also provide entry hazards, pressuring opponents, and Pelipper can use hazard removal turns to pivot out with U-turn or heal with Roost. Rotom-W can form a VoltTurn core with Pelipper, allowing the team to gain momentum easily and bring in Pokemon fairly safely. Rotom-W can also switch into opposing Electric-types like Magnezone, Iron Hands, and Sandy Shocks if necessary. Toxapex provides a Fighting resistance, a Grass neutrality, and another pivot thanks to its ability, Regenerator. Slowking checks threats such as Indeedee and Walking Wake, and it's another slow pivot thanks to Chilly Reception and Regenerator, bringing Pelipper in safely to set the rain. Both Toxapex and Slowking can also easily pivot into Pelipper with Eject Button, since Regenerator means they won't lose too much health from an attack. Azumarill can take advantage of rain with priority in Aqua Jet, as well as bringing a very strong Water-type STAB move.

Pelipper provides rain for Water teams, which aids in spamming their great neutral STAB moves thanks to the power boost received from said rain makes enables Swift Swim users and wallbreakers with strong Water-type STAB. (doesn't have to be this exactly but i think u can be more specific, also was kind of awkward imo) Hurricane is the STAB move of choice, bypassing the accuracy check under rain while also nailing Grass-types such as Amoonguss and Breloom. Roost provides Pelipper with reliable recovery allowing it to come in multiple times throughout the match to reset rain if need be. U-turn gives Pelipper the ability to pivot around into threats such as Quaquaval and Barraskewda with ease. Knock Off cripples the opponent by ridding them of their item while Surf is a secondary STAB move boosted by the rain. Heavy-Duty Boots are the go-to item, giving Pelipper the ability to switch in even if Stealth Rock is up. An alternative EV spread of 248 HP / 48 Def / 212 Spe with a Timid nature can be used for Pelipper to outspeed Adamant Breloom.

Barraskewda is the obvious partner choice thanks to its ability, Swift Swim, allowing its Speed to be doubled under the rain. It also appreciates the slow pivoting that Pelipper provides with U-turn due to its lack of bulk. (add floatzel to this sentence, should be mentioned somewhere imo) Quaquaval is another good partner that appreciates Pelipper's slow pivoting to come in safely and potentially snowball the opponent due to its ability, Moxie. Gastrodon and Quagsire are also really good partners thanks to an inherent Electric immunity their secondary Ground typing provides. Both also provide entry hazard support, which can apply pressure on the foe, allowing Pelipper to take advantage of that by providing it with a turn to either pivot out with U-turn or heal with Roost. Rotom-Wash can form a VoltTurn core with Pelipper, allowing the team to gain momentum easily as well as bring in the rest of the team fairly safely. Rotom-Wash can also nail opposing Bulky Water-types that may brush off Pelipper's attacks such as Toxapex. (unless it's like max special attack tbolt volt switch it's not really doing that much to pex. you can replace with it switching into electric types though) Speaking of, Toxapex is a great partner, providing a secondary Fighting resist (and Grass neutrality) and another pivot thanks to its ability, Regenerator. Slowking is also another Pokemon that can pivot slowly thanks to Chilly Reception and therefore bring Pelipper in safely to set the rain. also mention that toxapex and slowking can provide a free switch into a rain sweeper with eject button without losing too much health because of regenerator

add greninja/walking wake as secondary rain abusers as well

Pelipper provides rain for Water teams, which enables Swift Swim users Barraskweda (Floatzel isn't worth using) and wallbreakers with a more powerful Water-type STAB like Azumarill and Tasugiri. Hurricane is the STAB move of choice, bypassing the accuracy check under rain while also nailing Grass-types such as Amoonguss, Meowscarada and Breloom. Roost provides Pelipper with reliable recovery allowing it to come in multiple times throughout the match to reset rain if need be. U-turn gives Pelipper the ability to pivot into threats such as Quaquaval and Barraskewda. Knock Off cripples the opponent by ridding them of their item while Surf is a secondary STAB move boosted by the rain (Provide examples of threats that don't falter to Hurricane). Heavy-Duty Boots are the go-to item, giving Pelipper the ability to switch in even if Stealth Rock is up. An alternative EV spread of 248 HP / 48 Def / 212 Spe with a Timid nature can be used for Pelipper to outspeed Adamant Breloom.

Barraskewda is the obvious partner choice thanks to its ability, Swift Swim, allowing its Speed to be doubled under the rain. It also appreciates the slow pivoting that Pelipper provides with U-turn due to its lack of bulk. Floatzel is another great Swift Swim abuser that has access to a more powerful STAB move in Wave Crash albeit with a weaker base Attack stat. Walking Wake is another Pokémon that can easily abuse the rain thanks to its secondary Dragon STAB hitting most Water resists such as opposing Gastrodon and Amoonguss hard. Quaquaval is another good partner that appreciates Pelipper's slow pivoting to come in safely and potentially snowball the opponent due to its ability, Moxie (Mention how Quaquaval clears entry hazards if Pelipper loses it's held item). Gastrodon and Quagsire are also really good partners thanks to an inherent Electric immunity their secondary Ground typing provides. Both also provide entry hazard support, which can apply pressure on the foe, allowing Pelipper to take advantage of that by providing it with a turn to either pivot out with U-turn or heal with Roost. Rotom-Wash can form a VoltTurn core with Pelipper, allowing the team to gain momentum easily as well as bring in the rest of the team fairly safely. Rotom-Wash can also switch into opposing Electric-types like Magnezone, Iron Hands, and Sandy Shocks if necessary. Speaking of, Toxapex is a great partner, providing a secondary Fighting resist, Grass neutrality (Provide examples of Grass-types), and another pivot thanks to its ability, Regenerator. Slowking checks threats such as Ineedee and Walking Wake. It is also another Pokemon that can pivot slowly thanks to Chilly Reception and therefore bring Pelipper in safely to set the rain. They both can also easily pivot into Pelipper with Eject Button without fear of losing too much courtesy of Regenerator. (Mention Azumarill as a rain abuser)

[Aqua Jet]

Quaquaval can also get rid of entry hazards for Pelipper should it lose its item.

Make sure to specify this is only Rapid Spin Quaquaval

Also, make sure to update the credits with your name change

Credit Giyu, not myself
Very good job, both of you

Pelipper provides rain for Water teams, which enables Barraskewda and wallbreakers with a more powerful Water-type STAB like Azumarill and Walking Wake. Hurricane is the STAB move of choice, bypassing the accuracy check under rain while also nailing in rain while nailing Water-resistant Grass-types, (AC) such as Amoonguss, Meowscarada, and Breloom.

Barraskewda is the obvious partner choice thanks to its ability, Swift Swim, allowing its Speed to be doubled under the rain. ridiculous Speed with Swift Swim in rain.

Quaquaval is another good partner that appreciates Pelipper's slow pivoting to come in safely and can potentially snowball the opponent due to its ability, through teams with rain-boosted Aqua Step and (I imagine?) Moxie. Quaquaval can also get rid of entry hazards for Pelipper should it lose its item should Pelipper get hit by Knock Off, (I assume that's the real item loss mechanism that matters? change is to prevent ambiguous "it", ftr) provided it has Rapid Spin. Gastrodon and Quagsire are also really good partners thanks to an inherent Electric immunity their secondary Ground typing provides. their Electric immunities. Both also provide entry hazard support, which can apply pressure on the foe, allowing Pelipper to take advantage of that by providing it with a turn to either hazards, pressuring opponents, and Pelipper can use hazard removal turns to (I imagine something like this makes sense? if not, maybe clarify) pivot out with U-turn or heal with Roost. Rotom-Wash can form a VoltTurn core with Pelipper, allowing the team to gain momentum easily as well as bring in the rest of the team and bring in Pokemon fairly safely.
