Dawn's Piplup (Japanese: ヒカリのポッチャマ Hikari's Pochama) is Dawn's first Pokémon. She befriended it after saving it from an Ariados's attack, when Piplup and Chimchar had fled from Professor Rowan's lab. She also fed Piplup before receiving it from Rowan. It is voiced by 小桜エツ子 Etsuko Kozakura in Japanese and Michelle Knotz in English.
Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn - as described in the Pokédex, Piplup have high pride and dislike receiving food from people. However, it seems to have a large appetite for Pokémon food and does not like having any taken away from it. It shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and its trainer.
Despite its prideful and fierce attitude, it was fairly weak at first. An example being when it was easily defeated in its first battle, by Jessie's Seviper. It has grown in strength since then, defeating Buneary for Dawn so she could capture it. However, it still has only decent strength at the moment.
It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other.
