Pikipek (ツツケラ, Tsutsukera?)(PICK-kee-peck) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Biology

Physiology

Concept artwork of Pikipek.

Pikipek resembles a small woodpecker. It is black in color, with white feathers, blue eyes, and red stripe atop its head and black-and-white plumage. It has a gray, black-tipped beak, as well as gray feet.

Behavior

Pikipek drill holes in trees for food storage. However, they also adore small, shiny objects, and will take these and store them in the aforementioned food holes.

Despite their small stature, Pikipek in fact have incredibly strong neck muscles that enable them to peck with such strength. Their drilling is very noisy; they use different rhythms of pecking in order to communicate with one another. Since their signals are loud and distinct from one another, people that live near them often learn to recognize what different rhythms mean. In fact, Pikipek communication is one of the most well-studied in the field. Pikipek also have a fondness of shiny objects, storing them in tree holes. This is the root of the Alolan saying, "Something lost, something missed, check inside the Pikipek nest".

Pikipek can also shoot seeds with great force from their beaks. They will pull seeds from their tree holes to fire at attackers from a distance when threatened; missed seeds often end up lodged in the bark of other trees. Since the seeds are frequently destroyed by this, however, Pikipek cannot store them effectively this way.

Natural abilities

Pikipek are capable of pecking 16 times in a single second.

Evolution

Pikipek evolves into Trumbeak starting at level 14 and Toucannon starting at level 28.

Trivia

• Though Pikipek and its evolution Trumbeak are based on woodpeckers, its final evolution Toucannon is based on a Toco toucan. This may be due to the fact that both woodpeckers and toucans are in the Order "Piciformes".
• Pikipek was first revealed in the very first look at Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, in a wire frame form when its in-game model was still being made.

Origin

Pikipek is based on a woodpecker, most likely from the genus Dryobates, which are characterized by their small size.

Etymology

Pikipek comes from Picus (Lation for "woodpecker") or pick and peck.

Its Japanese name, Tsutsukera, comes from 突き (tsutsuki, pecking) and 啄木鳥 (keratsutsuki, woodpecker).
