Shiranui scanned the Pikipek on his Pokédex.  "[i]Pikipek, the Woodpecker Pokémon.  It can peck at a rate of 16 times a second to drill holes in trees.  It uses the holes for food storage and for nesting.[/i]"  He saw its type as Normal/Flying and knew in theory Pikipek had the advantage of type whilst also knowing that matching types did not win every battle.
"[i]Kiwi would have to be close to evolution to stand a chance of defeating Mankey,[/i]" he mused, "[i]Both Pokémon have speed and physical offence on their side whilst unable to take many hits.  Jen would have to pray that Mankey doesn't have the Anger Point ability should Kiwi land a critical hit otherwise she'll be in deep trouble.[/i]"
