0:00What if I told you the Pokémon this fandom has called useless for twenty five years is the only one whose Pokédex says it got a human being to the top of Mount Everest.

0:03The bird everybody laughs at has receipts no legendary can match.

0:07This is Delibird.

0:10And competitively, the jokes are fair, it's been near the bottom of every ranking since 1999, the eternal example of a bad Pokémon, the Santa bird with terrible stats that no serious team would touch.

0:14Whole lists have been built around it holding last place.

0:17That's its entire reputation, and the fandom considers the matter settled.

0:21Except read what this bird actually does all day.

0:24It winds its tail into a sack and fills it with food, trip after trip, from morning to night.

0:28And that food has a purpose, it's for its chicks, waiting back at a nest on the edge of some frozen cliff.

0:31This is a parent running deliveries in the coldest places in the world, every single day, for its kids.

0:35And then the entries add the part that should end the jokes forever.

0:38When Delibird comes across people stranded on those icy mountains, people freezing, people lost, it opens up its tail and shares.

0:42The food it gathered for its own children, handed to a stranger in trouble.

0:45There are tales of lost travelers who only made it home because of this bird.

0:48And one entry goes further, a famous explorer reached the summit of Everest because a Delibird kept sharing its food with him the whole way up.

0:52That's literally in the Pokédex.

0:55The summit of Everest, courtesy of what some claim is the worst Pokémon in the game.

0:59Almost every ranking ever made put it last, while every stranded climber it fed would put it first.

1:02And yes, other Pokémon rescue people.

1:06Dragonite pulls people from the ocean.

1:09Floatzel helps drowning swimmers.

1:13There are heroes all over this Pokédex.

1:16But find me another Pokémon whose contribution to human history is as notable as helping an explorer reach the summit of Mount Everest...

1:20with lunch.

1:23Go dig, and watch how short that list gets.

1:27While they're searching, show the bird some love.

Base stats

Speed is the whole game at 75.
