The dove - as in the bird - is broadly considered a symbol of peace, even across people of different groups. Some of those people may just be Pokémon fans as well, and they would be served by a species family that carries bits of resemblance to the aforementioned birds, and perhaps a little bit of peace as well. I'm certainly referring to the Pidove family, one composed of three birds with their own gentle quirks.
First in line is the family's namesake, which is Pidove. Though it has "dove" in its name, its first three letters also suggest a minor association with the pigeon, which is all fine and good. Regardless, the species also makes its mark with hearts in more ways than one, which seems to make it all the more deserving as a "carrier of peace" - perhaps more so with its abilities placed in check for that very purpose.
Next comes its evolution, Tranquill. By its name, "peace" is very much suggested as a "tranquil" bird. As it is purported to have a good sense of its nest as well as its Trainer, presumably if it has one, it would have a hard time getting lost and would always find its way back. That would suggest a kind of "peace of mind" - a different kind than the "dove" element of its previous form would suggest, but it's still "peace".
Last up is the final evolved form of the species family, a bird named Unfezant. This sexually dimorphic species - with colorfully decorated males and drab females - is said to be loyal to its Trainer, again with the presumption that it has one, and it has a hard time getting along with other people. This too is a kind of "peace of mind", yet it just might lead to other kinds of "peace", as with any of the above.
It may be that peace is a hard thing to come by these days, especially in certain areas of the world, but there are always symbols of it if one knows where to look. For Pokémon fans, that may just be the species family above as the analogue of the real-world bird that is itself a symbol of peace - here perhaps multiple kinds.
And now, it seems that there might just be lots of Pidove flying about for true peace.
