Wingull (Japanese: キャモメ Camome) is a dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves into Pelipper starting at level 25.

Biology

Physiology

Wingull is a small, white seagull-like Pokémon. Oddly, Wingull’s head appears to consitute a considerable portion of its body, due to seemingly not possessing a neck or similar distinction. Its eyes are thin, dark, and simplistic in form, and there are two small, pointed and somewhat earlike extensions on its head. Wingull’s long, orange, hooked beak is tipped with black. Wingull’s wings are notable for their long, thin shape, usually outstretched, and blue stripes. Wingull’s three tailfeathers, also tipped with blue, are proportionally short and in a fan-like arrangement. As Wingull is often airborne, and because its orange, two-toed feet are held close to the body in flight and otherwise small, they are an inconspicuous detail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

As a Water-type Pokémon, it is capable of using attacks such as Water Gun and Water Pulse.

Behavior

Wingull tend to collect valuable objects and hide them in all sorts of places.

Habitat

Wingull make their nests at steep cliffs hanging over the sea of the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions. Wingull are also seen gliding above harbors and beaches.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

As a sea bird Pokémon, Wingull's diet can be presumed to mainly consist of fish.
