Pelipper for Pokémon Champions Regulation M-C

Pelipper is eligible for Regulation M-C as an M-A and M-B carryover. A Flying and Water type with modest stats, its value comes from the listed ability Drizzle, which is why this site's Rain template names it a setter candidate.

The stat line is humble: 60 HP, 50 Attack, 95 Special Attack, 100 Defense, 65 Speed. Pelipper is not here to win exchanges; the Rain template includes it because Drizzle is documented to summon rain in the main series. Whether rain behaves that way in Champions is Unknown.

Keen Eye and Rain Dish round out the ability list, names only. Ground moves miss Pelipper entirely under the documented chart, useful cover alongside the Electric-weak Water attackers it would set rain for.
