Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Delibird is the Delivery Pokémon — Ice and Flying. In Pokémon GO it is a novelty Ice/Flying attacker (and Present meme). Ice helps against Dragon, Ground, Grass, and Flying; Flying helps against Fighting, Bug, and Grass. Rock hits it for 4×, and Fire, Electric, and Steel punish it. Catch Delibird from the wild, eggs, or holiday events.
