Mechanical energy, if it is moving then it is kinetic mechanical energy. Or if it is at the top of a hill about to fall then it is potential mechanical energy.

What type of energy do pebbles flowing in a river have?

First, pebbles do not "flow" in a river, it is the river which flows. The flowing of a river is caused by the conversion of potential energy (caused by the height difference in the water at the rivers current position and it mouth) into kinetic energy (the movement of flowing). If the friction between the flow of the water and the pebble is high enough, some of the kinetic energy in the water can be passed to the pebble and this too will begin to move.
