+* Piplup is the only {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] owned by one of [[Ash's friends]] to not have evolved at least once.
-* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup would likely not [[Evolution|evolve]] very soon, referring to his {{p|Prinplup|evolved}} {{p|Empoleon|forms}} as "ugly" or not good for [[Pokémon Contest]]s.<ref>https://www.pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points</ref>

+* Piplup was referenced by Ash in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', when he and his friends met a troop of many Piplup at the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Ash recalled that Dawn's Piplup had been rather prideful and stubborn.
+* Starting in [[S11|Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension]], Dawn keeps Piplup out of his Poké Ball, apart from rare cases like in Pokémon Contests.
+* The {{so|Diamond and Pearl|opening sequence}} of [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} with a trail of stars behind him.

 * Piplup was featured in a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Skins#C-Gear skins|promotional C-Gear]] skin alongside [[Brock's Croagunk]] in Japan to celebrate the [[DPS01|anime]] [[DPS02|specials]] featuring {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}}. This Piplup was later distributed as [[List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation V)#Recital Piplup|event]] Pokémon for Japanese games to commemorate his appearance in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Best Wishes! Season 2]]''.
-* Piplup has used the most [[move]]s out of all of Dawn's Pokémon, with a total of eight.
+* Dawn's Piplup has been given a redesign since his return in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', now having blue eyes like in the games, instead of having black eyes as his depiction from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' to ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.
