Pelipper

Pelipper sports a great defensive typing, as it can check Steel-, Fighting-, and Ground-types such as Escavalier, Hitmonlee, and Mega Camerupt, respectively. Furthermore, Pelipper has access to reliable recovery in Roost, which makes it a great defensive pivot. Pelipper also has decent Defense, which, along with Scald, allows it to beat most physical attackers in the tier. Sadly, Pelipper has a nasty 4x weakness to Electric-type attacks, which is particularly problematic against Electric-type Pokemon such as Rotom-C and Jolteon. Pelipper's mediocre Special Defense also does not help it against many special attackers. In addition, Pelipper's role as a Defogger is greatly hindered by its weakness to Stealth Rock, and it faces heavy competition as an entry hazard remover from Flygon, Mantine, and Hitmontop.
