Piplup (ポッチャマ, Pochama), is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Piplup makes an appearance in Brawl. It uses its Surf attack to glide across the stage until it reaches a blast line or exceeds a time limit. Any character that gets caught in Piplup's surf will get washed away with it and will likely get KO'd while trapped. The simpler the stage's terrain is, the more effective Piplup's Surf will be. Piplup can also be reflected. Its attack is essentially used the same way as Marill's attack from Melee.
Trophy information
- 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.

Origin
Piplup is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, and along with Chimchar and Turtwig it is one of the starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region. It evolves into Prinplup at level 16, which evolves into Empoleon at level 36.
Surf is a special Water-type move with 90 (95 before Generation VI) base power and 100% accuracy which hits every Pokémon adjacent to the user, including allies. It is HM03 in every game, and it is always required to fully complete them. Like most other Water-type Pokémon Piplup can learn it with HM03.
