Delibird is a red penguin-like Pokémon with a sack-like tail in which it stores presents, among other things. It has a patch of fluffy feathers on its chest that resembles a beard, and snowflake-like crests on its head. It also has a white bellybutton-like mark on its stomach. It has a white face with black rings around its eyes. Its beak and feet are light yellow.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Delibird's most famous power is that it attacks by giving presents to its opponents. These presents, glowing orbs pulled from inside its tail, often explode, damaging the enemy. However, this move is unpredictable, even for the Delibird. The effect of the present could harm an opponent, or could even help it.
Delibird is the only known Pokémon that learns Present by leveling up, and that is the only move it learns that way. It can learn other, more traditional Ice- and Flying-type moves by more indirect means.
Behavior
Delibird carries food bundled up in its tail, carrying it wherever it may go. It spends all day carrying food to its awaiting chicks.
Delibird are often delivering items to either Pokémon or people. The deliveries are often from humans, but may be from Pokémon.
Habitat
Delibird tend to live in mountainous regions, making their nests over sharp cliffs.
