Wingull is a small and swift seagull-like Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. Its evolved form is Pelipper.

Information

Wingull have long and narrow wings which they extend to glide on updrafts which rise from the sea. They have been noted to fly as if they were skating across the sky, preferring to ride the winds due to the difficulty of keeping its wings flapping in flight. Wingull has the habit of using its beak to carry prey and valuables, and it hides them in various places. They usually make their nests on sheer cliffs near the edge of the sea. Wingull hide food around these nests during the winter. It folds its wings to rest.

Wingull evolves into Pelipper at Level 25.
