[Smogon] [OU] Pelipper Moveset - Support
Nov 19, 2016, 11:28 AM
Pelipper will sadly be stuck in OU for it's entire existence in Pokemon until Smogon decides to make weather abilities legal in lower tiers. Take away Drizzle and it's the same old Pelipper you knew and loved in ORAS NU/PU. That aside I'm assuming that all these Pelipper sets do not have Defog due to Pokebank not being available as well as the possibility of having a Drizzle Pelipper with the move but I still think Defog Pelipper is a viable option and will more than likely be available coming January
I wouldn't really say that a Specs Pelipper is viable in this metagame, or maybe not as viable as a support set due to the STAB combination of Water and Flying being easy to switch into by Bulky water types which still plague the metagame. It can work yes but it is relatively easy to check it especially due to how Stealth Rocks will wear it down after switching so many times
Still, these are some solid sets I'd use
