[SET COMMENTS]
Pelipper provides vital utility for Water teams due to its secondary Flying typing and decent natural bulk along with its ability, Drizzle, enabling Rain strategies. Hurricane blows away problematic Fighting- and Grass- threats such as Okidogi, Ogerpon-W and Sinistcha. U-turn allows it to safely pivot in teammates like Barraskewda and Urshifu-R while pivoting out against threats like Tornadus-T. Finally Knock Off removes items from checks to Pelipper and its teammates like Hisuian Goodra's Leftovers or Toxapex's Rocky Helmet.
Teammates like Barraskewda and Kingdra make for excellent partners for Pelipper as they benefit heavily from Rain enabling Swift Swim allowing them to outspeed and handle threats such as Corviknight, the Ogerpon formes, and Kyurem. Barraskewda can also naturally outsped and handle foes like Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant for Pelipper. Swampert helps Pelipper out by handling special threats and Electric-type like Flutter Mane, Greninja, Sandy Shocks, and Regieleki. Swampert can also provide Stealth Rocks to wear down foes such as Skarmory and Lokix along with using Flip Turn to safely bring Pelipper in to enable rain. Toxapex can assist in handling powerful Grass- and Fighting-types Pelipper cannot handle along with Fairy-types like Brambleghast, Sneasler if Toxapex is running Rocky Helmet as a item, and Enamorus along with spreading Toxic to wear down foes such as Iron Hands and opposing weather setters such as Hippowdon; while enjoying Pelipper being able to come in on Ground-types like Great Tusk and Excadrill whom otherwise easily handle Toxapex. Hisuian Samurott can threaten Ghost- and Psychic-types like Gholdengo and Hoopa-U with Ceaseless Edge along with using Sucker Punch to pick off faster targets like Dragapult and Spectrier. Choice Specs Greninja can problematic Fairy- and Grass-types with Sludge Wave like Iron Valiant and the Ogerpon Formes while using Extrasensory to deal with Poison- and Fighting-types like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Iron Hands. Choice Scarf Urshifu-R enjoys the safe entry granted by Pelipper and in return it can handle Dark- and Steel-type threats such as Ting-Lu, Choice Specs Greninja, and Hisuian Goodra.

Other Options
=============
Water
-----------
Surf can be used over one of Pelipper's utility options providing it with a better offensive output and the ability to break Steel-types like Gholdengo. This does however come with Pelipper having to drop either Knock Off or U-turn and most of the time Pelipper would prefer its teammates to handle these threats instead.
