skill link is a good ability. i wouldn't be surprised if it evolves to be steel/flying based on it's beak and grey feet.

No, but eagles, owls, hawks and falcons are, and considering the woodpecker's body shape, it's not too farfetched for it to evolve into an eagle, a vulture or a secretary.

It's probably getting Bullet Seed, because the little description talks about it firing seeds with its beak.

I could even see Rock Blast, as it's stated to be able to shatter stone and GF loves giving that move to Skill Link mons with no logical way of using it (Cinccino and Heracross come to mind).

gamefreak is pretty generous to skill link users, often giving them many off-type moves.

cloyster, heracross, and cincinno all get rock blast.

i could see pikapek getting bullet seed, fury attack, rock blast, and spike cannon if it ends up being steel/flying. if it somehow remains normal/flying i assume they must be adding a new mutli-hit move for it. bullet seed and fury attack don't justify the ability.

Ok listen
Steel/Flying with a knight theme/duelist theme.
The beak could be used like a lance or a rapier, the latter being more likely because quick jabs.
The head feathers become more like a helmet while the chest feathers elongate into some sort of chest piece.

I'd say they're at least trying to make the new pokemon have a new twist or trick, like pikipek's skill link, or yungoose's stakeout, they can't predict what will be broken or useless, but clearly they will have a clear niché in battle, like most of Kalos' new pokes.

>>26741816
Not AS broken, but definitely in OU, or, at the very very least, UU. (which is still good if you know how to handle a team).

Skill link is all it needs. Even if it just gets fury attack, which is super unlikely, it plus a kings rock and para support is going to be brutal. Birds tend to have decent speed, which will be great on a skill link user.

Taillow wasn't found on the first route either.
Wingull, however, was found on the second route you go through in RSE.
Taillow is found on the fourth route.
Wingull is also much more common.
Wingull is the regional bird.
