Dawn's Piplup: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]'', Piplup battled [[Nando's Budew]]. He started the {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{m|Peck}} attack but {{p|Budew}} dodged easily and used {{m|Bullet Seed}}. He managed to avoid the glowing yellow seeds and use Bubble Beam, getting a clean hit. However, the {{type|Water}} [[move]] had little effect on the Bud Pokémon. When [[Nando]] ordered Budew to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, Dawn thought the move would take a while to charge and had Piplup using Peck. To her surprise, the {{m|Sunny Day}} Budew used before the battle was still in effect and Solar Beam charged immediately, hitting Piplup and rendering him [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', Piplup started practicing for the upcoming [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He had a hard time trying to use Bubble Beam while spinning around in the air, getting dizzy and falling down to the ground in each of his attempts. However, after being motivated by Dawn when helping a group of Water-type Pokémon that had their food stolen by {{TRT}}, he managed to perfect the technique. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', this technique was used again as a variation of [[Counter Shield]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.
