10 Pokémon Who Deserve Mega Evolutions

Delibird is the epitome of a gimmick Pokémon, and to be fair is probably the best one out there. Its name is a great pun on ‘delivered’ and it fully commits to the Christmas theme with the white ruffled feathers for a beard, red Santa stylings and present throwing attack.

The best part is undoubtedly the sack full of gifts though, which also doubles up as its tail. One of the most gloriously silly ‘mons, it’s perfectly in-keeping with the over the top festive spirit.

It’s just a shame it’s almost completely useless.

Ice types are weak to some of the most popular types, vulnerable to both Fire and Fighting, as well as Rock and Steel. They can be useful, especially with good stats and a handy secondary typing, but Flying definitely isn’t the best add on and Delibird’s stats are just garbage.

Its highest is in Speed, not unusual for Flyers but even then it’s only a pitiful 75. Pidgeot, for contrast, has a Speed stat of 101.

While there’s plenty of players who want to use Delibird on their team, especially around Christmas, there’s simply no good reason to. A Mega evolution could fix that, but how do you get better than Santa?
