Name origin

Delibird's name is a combination of delivery and bird.

Aspects of Delibird's appearance appear to come from the Rockhopper Penguin. However, its red and white color scheme, its ability to give presents, and the appearance of carrying its sack-like tail may have been derived from the myths about Santa Claus.

Obtaining

=In side games

• Pokémon Stadium 2: Delibird stars in its own mini-game called "Delibird's Delivery." In this game, you collect presents from one side of the field to the other. Make sure you avoid the Swinub that scurry around or you'll lose the present you collected.

Base stats

Type effectiveness

In the anime

Delibird first appeared in Delibird's Dilemma. Ash's Totodile shot a Delibird that was delivering presents clear out of the sky with Water Gun-propelled snowball. Pikachu and co. had to help the Rockhopper Pengiun Pokémon find the five presents before midnight.

Delibird's first appearance in the main series was in EP231. It was owned by an elderly talent scout from Team Rocket. Since that episode; the Delivery Pokémon kept following Jessie, James and Meowth to collect money that the three of them owe. Fortunetly for the Rocket Trio, Delibird was no longer able to tail them since the action moved to the Hoenn Region.
