 Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup as a species is very proud and dislike accepting food from [[human|people]]. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when a {{p|Chimchar}} stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', when he repeatedly missed out on eating a [[Berry]] and started a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', or when Dawn said [[Ash's Gible]] did not have ill intent when he was practicing his {{m|Draco Meteor}} in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]''.
-Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, Piplup was fairly weak at first, being easily defeated by [[Nando's Budew]] in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'' and a {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''.

As time passed, Piplup became Dawn used Pokémon in battle, as he became one of her strongest and best Pokémon.

 Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, being used more than any of {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} and having helped her win her first two {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. He seems to be very competitive and will always try to overcome the odds to impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn and commonly tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.
-It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a [[Friendship|close bond]] with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', he helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|Bubble Beam}} at her face. Two episodes later, in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', he barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only half a point to help Dawn win the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. Piplup's close bond with Dawn is one of the main reasons he refused to [[evolve]] in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', along with also wanting to become stronger as a Piplup. Also, in the same episode, Dawn was given an [[Everstone]] by the [[Sandalstraw Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]] so Piplup won’t ever have to evolve, as he was using {{m|Bide}} to prevent his evolution.

In addition, Piplup is very protective of Dawn, as he would put her safety first before his own, even if it meant battling a Pokémon that was bigger or stronger then him in order to keep her safe from danger. Piplup even tends to get jealous of other Pokémon, even his own teammates, taking Dawn's attention away from him, as shown in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', when he got jealous of {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} getting his Trainer's attention, as he took a [[Poffin]] that the Fire Mouse Pokémon was going to receive for its hard work in its first battle.

+Piplup has a close relationship with [[Ash's Pikachu]], as they are often seen hanging out together. Throughout their time traveling together, Piplup would spare Pikachu as part of their training, even though what they do is different because the Mouse Pokémon focuses in battling Gyms while the latter focuses on showing off his moves in Pokémon contests. Despite this, Piplup and Pikachu seem to take inspiration from each other, which has help them in their goals for their Trainers. However, when it was time to part ways with Pikachu in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup was upset in being separated from him, but cheered up with the help of his friends.
 In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in him being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was the same.
