===History===
====Pre-series====
Mr. Briney was revealed to have met Peeko one day while he was fishing, when she flew down and landed on the top of his head.
========
Peeko first appeared in On a Wingull and a Prayer! when asked him for a way to get to Dewford Town as and were lost. May noticed Peeko and was willing to interact with her, only for Peeko to shy away from her due to the fact that she only trusts Mr. Briney. This changed when May brought out Pokémon food. Later, she was kidnapped by a who was in disguise as a Devon Corporation worker earlier to force Mr. Briney to give him a boat to meet his partners. When the Grunt was about to get away on Mr. Briney's boat with Peeko, interfered using their mecha to steal both Peeko and Ash's Pikachu. This was interrupted by Brock's Lotad's , which stopped the mecha. With Peeko still trapped in the cage, the Team Aqua Grunt took her and drove away on Mr. Briney's boat.
However, Mr. Briney had a Wingull-shaped boat ready which was modeled after his Peeko. He took Ash and the others, and they chased down the Team Aqua Grunt. The two boats raced around until Mr. Briney had his boat jump up to block the boat the Grunt was riding on. With the Grunt stopped, Peeko ended up being returned to Mr. Briney. However, the Grunt was still able to get away on Team Aqua's submarine. With the Grunt gone, Peeko and Mr. Briney were reunited.
In Sharpedo Attack!, Peeko was sitting on Mr. Briney's shoulder during the boat ride to Dewford Town. Along the way, they encountered some when May and Max were swimming. Mr. Briney had Peeko fly to where the two were and they got picked up by her. However, had to help out since Peeko's strength wasn't enough. Later, when the group docked on an island, Peeko participated in trapping the leader of the Sharpedo by serving as some sort of transportation while Ash captured the other Sharpedo's attention and lured them away from their leader. With the distraction, Mr. Briney and the others closed the area off, trapping the Sharpedo leader. After clearing the Sharpedo problem and taking the group to Dewford Town, Peeko was last seen waving goodbye to them while she and Mr. Briney set sail back to their hometown.
===Personality and characteristics===
Peeko was shown to be very close to Mr. Briney and appeared to only trust him. This was seen when she hid behind Mr. Briney when May tried approaching her. Despite her initial lack of trust, Peeko was shown to be rather friendly and at times helpful towards Ash and the group once she warmed up to them. When May and Max were surrounded by Sharpedo while swimming, Peeko came to their rescue and helped bring them back to safety. Mr. Briney also mentioned that Peeko was the inspiration for him to start sailing again and he even built a Wingull-shaped boat, the S.S. Wingull, as a result.
