Piplup (Japanese: ポッチャマ Pochama) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Prinplup starting at level 16, which evolves into Empoleon starting at level 36.

Along with Turtwig and Chimchar, Piplup is one of the three first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh available at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.

Biology

Piplup is a light-blue, penguin-like Pokémon, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a dark blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The dark blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, light-blue marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from humans and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the anime. It lives along the seashore in colder climates. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy.

NPC appearances

In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, Piplup is one of Pikachu's best friends. He is found keeping a trapped Wynaut company in the Beach Zone after falling through the mysterious tunnel. Once the Wynaut is safe, he takes a Pikachu shaped hot air balloon back to the Meeting Place where he mends it. He later accompanies Pikachu to the Sky Pavilion along with Chikorita and Charmander where he meets Mew.
Piplup returns in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond where he and Pikachu arrive at a new PokéPark. They venture into the Wish Park together and try to save some of the Pokémon trapped there. Piplup inevitably becoming trapped in the Wish Park after saving Pikachu and Oshawott's lives. He is later found by Zorua and Zoroark and announces that he wishes to stay in Wish Park so he can help the Pokémon who are coaxed into coming. Piplup is later taken by Gothitelle in exchange for setting Victini free, where he is then manipulated by Darkrai. Piplup later awakens Pikachu from Darkrai's nightmare and encourages Pikachu to seek out his missing friends after their memories were taken by Darkrai right before the final battle.

Main series

Major appearances

Dawn's Piplup

Piplup debuted in Following A Maiden's Voyage!, where he got into a fight with a Chimchar over their food in Professor Rowan's lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and Dawn was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an Ariados attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen outside of his Poké Ball.

Team Poképals

A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness.

Other

In The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!, Tyler used a female Piplup nicknamed Pippy to catch a Yanma. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.

In DPS01, Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to Shinko as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's Chimchar after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were captured by an Ariados's web before being rescued by Shinko and Dawn.

A Piplup appeared in I Choose You!, under the ownership of Verity. It is her main Pokémon.

In The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!, Lauren's Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new Croagunk.

Trophy information

A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region. It's a Water type, so it's strong versus Rock and Ground-types. It's very cute but filled with pride--it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

While Piplup no longer appears from Poké Balls, having been replaced by Oshawott, it makes a cameo appearance in the Kalos Pokémon League stage. When the stage transitions to the Flood Chamber, it can be seen in the background along with Blastoise, Wailord, and Clawitzer.

Trophy information

You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Piplup appears as a Spirit.

Trivia

Piplup shares its category with its evolved form and Eiscue. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.
Piplup is the most selected Sinnoh first partner Pokémon in the anime, being the first partner Pokémon of Dawn, Kenny, and Tyler.
Piplup was designed by Yusuke Ohmura.^[1]
In February 2007, a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair used "Pochama" to refer to this Pokémon, leading some fans to believe that it would be Piplup's English name. However, another item at the same event referred to it as "Piplup".^[2]

Origin

Piplup is likely based on a young penguin, possibly an emperor penguin chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may also allude to emperor penguins, or to emperors and kings in general. Piplup's body looks like it is clothed in a tailcoat which is often compared to black and white plumage of penguins.

Name origin

Piplup is derived from plop or plup, the sound of a pebble hitting water.^[3] It may also incorporate pip, a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch from the eggshell.

Pochama is derived from ぽちゃぽちゃ pochapocha (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).^[3] It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま botchama (young master).

+Piplup is a light-blue, penguin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a dark blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The dark blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, light-blue marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

-Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from humans and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the anime. It lives along the seashore in colder climates.

+===Main series===
+====Major appearances====
+=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
+Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].
+=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
+A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.
+=====Other=====
+In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}} used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.
+In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were captured by an {{p|Ariados}}'s web before being rescued by Shinko and {{an|Dawn}}.
+A Piplup appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Verity]]. It is her main Pokémon.
+In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', [[Lauren]]'s Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new {{p|Croagunk}}. Eventually, it was returned to her by {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] after they found it in [[Vermilion City]]. Piplup entered itself and Croagunk into the [[Pokémon Iceberg Race]], but the two partnered up to save Lauren after {{TRT}} interrupted the race.
+[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Piplup appeared in flashbacks and photos in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and physically in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.

+In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', multiple Piplup were living in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Seeing these Piplup reminded Ash of Dawn's, since her Piplup was "something else".
+In ''[[PK27|Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad]]'', a Piplup was living in a forest.
+A Piplup appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.
+In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', a Trainer's Piplup competed in the [[Friendship Festival]].
+A Piplup appeared in a fantasy alongside the other [[first partner Pokémon]] in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''.

+On being released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Piplup slides along the stage using {{m|Surf}}. Anyone caught in it will be pushed until Piplup disappears, or pushes the character off the stage. Piplup will keep using Surf even when off the stage.
+====Trophy information====
+''A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region. It's a Water type, so it's strong versus {{t|Rock}} and {{type|Ground}}s. It's very cute but filled with pride--it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.''
+===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
+While Piplup no longer appears from Poké Balls, having been replaced by {{p|Oshawott}}, it makes a cameo appearance in the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. When the stage transitions to the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Flood Chamber}}, it can be seen in the background along with {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Wailord}}, and {{p|Clawitzer}}.
+====Trophy information====
+''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''
+===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
+Piplup appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.
