Piplup
Piplup (ポッチャマ, Potchama, Pochama) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Creature description
Piplup is one of the three starter Pokémon that a trainer can recieve from Professor Rowan in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. Piplup resembles a small blue bipedal penguin. Piplup's second evolution is Prinplup, who eventually evolves into Empoleon. In the anime, Dawn chose Piplup as her starter Pokémon after she rescued it from a group of giant Ariados. Piplup had trouble accepting Dawn as its trainer, but eventually began to trust her. Dawn uses Piplup to fight in both battles and in contests.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Piplup makes an appearance in Brawl. Piplup uses its surf attack to glide across the stage. Any character that gets caught in Piplup's surf will get washed away with it. The simpler the stage's terrain is, the greater the affect of Piplup's glide will be. Piplup's attack might be used the same way as Maril's attack.
