Thread: Delibird's sack?

In all curiousness, what is Delibird's sack? Is it part of his body?

Where does he gets all those presents for attack?

Dirty..mind..OH LORD!

1. Delibird's sack is... a sack? That's a funny question.
2. I would assume that it's not part of its body. I don't think it is physically connected to Delibird.
3. Not sure? By stealing people's gifts?

I thought that it was confirmed that the bag was it's tail. As for the presents, I have no idea.

The sack is Delibird's tail. Simple examination of its dex entries reveal this fact:

RS: Delibird carries its food bundled up in its tail. There once was a famous explorer who managed to reach the peak of Mt. Everest thanks to one of these Pokémon sharing its food.
DPPt/BW: It carries food rolled up in its tail. It has the habit of sharing food with people lost in mountains.

Looking at its back sprite suggests otherwise

Again, examining its dex entries suggest the presents are the food it stores in its tail. Maybe Delibird imbues it with some sort of special energy to cause it to explode.

Even if the presents are the food, that doesn't explain where it comes from.
I think it comes out of nothingness, like how Squirtle is able to spit out enough water to fill the back of a truck despite the fact that he obviously doesn;t have that much water stored inside him at all.

Delibird carries a small oven and a greenhouse in its tail, obviously! How else would he make so much food?

In all seriousness, his character has always been one of the most interesting to me. Its Santa-like features are awesome, especially its tail.

...now I kinda feel stupid for not have checked out Bulbapedia sooner XDD

How does it not explain where the food comes from? Where do you think food comes from? Given its not a hunter, and given that it has a sack as a tail, it clearly scavenges for food. So where does the food come from? It finds it. It's a scavenger, so we can't really give you a definite answer other than "lying around". You really think it creates food from nothingness? If it can create food, why bother having a tail for storage?

Probably similar to us. Like, we create food out of raw materials, eat, and if there are leftovers we store them for later. So even if it's from nothingness, it still needs someplace to store... I think

The implication of creating it from nothing means one would not need to store it, since it can be made whenever its needed. There's also no reason to store leftovers if there's no shortage of food.

I just had this strange thought of an army of Delibird's bombing a place with stuff.

The 'presents' are most likely leftovers from a meal, or else things it finds on the ground. Some birds - magpies, for example - are attracted to shiny things, so maybe it keeps those too.

True, but maybe it stores like 15 pre-made "presents" in his tail for the sole purpose of battle... perhaps it's hard or time-consuming for it to just make them on the spot so he makes them in advance for the purpose of throwing them at enemies or eating the food when he's too lazy to make more.
It very well could just be food that it has previously found, but I was just offering another possibility since other Pokémon do create stuff out of nothingness (Squirtle's water, Hippowdon's sand, etc.)

Delibirds sack?


*snik* *snik*

Delibird's tail is a portal to another dimension full of exploding gift boxes as well as food. But maybe it creates the gift boxes out of energy just like other Pokémon who use the move Present.
