Piplup (ポッチャマ,Pochama) is a creature in thePokémon media franchise.

Origin[edit]

Piplup is a Water-type Pokémon introduced inGeneration IV, and along withChimchar andTurtwig it is one of thestarter Pokémon of theSinnoh region, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #393 as the "Penguin Pokémon". It evolves intoPrinplup at level 16, which evolves intoEmpoleon at level 36.

Surf is a special Water-type move with 90 (95 beforeGeneration VI) base power and 100% accuracy which hits every Pokémon adjacent to the user, including allies. It wasHM03 in every game prior toGeneration VII, and it was always required to fully complete them. Like most other Water-type Pokémon, Piplup can learn it with HM03.

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Piplup using Surf onPeach.

Piplup makes an appearance inBrawl as aPoké Ball Pokémon, where it uses its Surf attack to glide across the stage until it reaches ablast line or exceeds a time limit. Any character that gets caught in Piplup's surf will get washed away with it and will likely getKO'd while trapped, along with Piplup. The simpler the stage's terrain is, the more effective Piplup's Surf will be. Piplup can also bereflected. Its attack is essentially used the same way asMarill's attack fromMelee. Sometimes Piplup will instantly use Surf.

Piplup has a spawn chance of30/586.

Trophy[edit]

Piplup
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.

NTSCYou 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 10 minutes at a time to hunt.
