'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


Pochama comes with the [[Abilities|ability]] [[Torrent (ability)|Torrent]], which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Prinplup}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Empoleon}} starting at level 36.


Pochama evolves into {{p|Pottaishi}} at Level 16 and into {{p|Enperuto}} in the mid-30 levels.
Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, Piplup is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] of [[Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.


=Name origin=
==Biology==
Pochama may be derived from 坊っちゃま ''botchama'', meaning [[wp:Child|child]], with the ''P'' perhaps coming from ''[[wp:Penguin|penguin]]''. It may also be based on ぽちゃぽちゃ ''pochapocha'', which means either splashing in water or having a plump appearance.
Piplup is a light-blue, penguin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a dark blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The dark blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, light-blue marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.


Pochama is based on a baby penguin.
Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from [[human]]s and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It lives along the seashore in colder climates. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===NPC appearances===
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Piplup is one of Pikachu's best friends. He is found keeping a trapped {{p|Wynaut}} company in the [[Beach Zone]] after falling through the mysterious tunnel. Once the Wynaut is safe, he takes a Pikachu shaped hot air balloon back to the [[Meeting Place]] where he mends it. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Charmander}} where he meets {{p|Mew}}.
* Piplup returns in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] where he and Pikachu arrive at a new PokéPark. They venture into the [[Wish Park]] together and try to save some of the Pokémon trapped there. Piplup inevitably becoming trapped in the Wish Park after saving Pikachu and {{p|Oshawott}}'s lives. He is later found by {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} and announces that he wishes to stay in Wish Park so he can help the Pokémon who are coaxed into coming. Piplup is later taken by {{p|Gothitelle}} in exchange for setting {{p|Victini}} free, where he is then manipulated by {{p|Darkrai}}. Piplup later awakens Pikachu from Darkrai's nightmare and encourages Pikachu to seek out his missing friends after their memories were taken by Darkrai right before the final battle.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].
=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.
=====Other=====
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}} used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.
In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were captured by an {{p|Ariados}}'s web before being rescued by Shinko and {{an|Dawn}}.
A Piplup appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Verity]]. It is her main Pokémon.
In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', [[Lauren]]'s Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new {{p|Croagunk}}. Eventually, it was returned to her by {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] after they found it in [[Vermilion City]]. Piplup entered itself and Croagunk into the [[Pokémon Iceberg Race]], but the two partnered up to save Lauren after {{TRT}} interrupted the race.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', multiple Piplup were living in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Seeing these Piplup reminded Ash of Dawn's, since her Piplup was "something else".

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.
In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', a Trainer's Piplup competed in the [[Friendship Festival]].
A Piplup appeared in a fantasy alongside the other [[first partner Pokémon]] in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''.

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Piplup.png|thumb|250px|Piplup in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
On being released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Piplup slides along the stage using {{m|Surf}}. Anyone caught in it will be pushed until Piplup disappears, or pushes the character off the stage. Piplup will keep using Surf even when off the stage.
====Trophy information====
''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 {{t|Rock}} and {{type|Ground}}s. It's very cute but filled with pride--it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
While Piplup no longer appears from Poké Balls, having been replaced by {{p|Oshawott}}, it makes a cameo appearance in the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. When the stage transitions to the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Flood Chamber}}, it can be seen in the background along with {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Wailord}}, and {{p|Clawitzer}}.
====Trophy information====
''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Piplup appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.
==Trivia==
<!--Do NOT add Barry. There are neither rumor or confirmation that Piplup was his starter.-->
* Piplup shares its category with its evolved form and {{p|Eiscue}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.
* Piplup is the most selected [[Sinnoh]] [[first partner Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, being the first partner Pokémon of {{an|Dawn}}, {{si|Kenny}}, and {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}}.
* Piplup was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=Peer>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>
* In February 2007, a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair used "Pochama" to refer to this Pokémon, leading some fans to believe that it would be Piplup's English name. However, another item at the same event referred to it as "Piplup".<ref>https://serebii.net/archive/February-2007.shtml</ref>
===Origin===
Piplup is likely based on a young {{wp|penguin}}, possibly an {{wp|emperor penguin}} chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may also allude to emperor penguins, or to emperors and kings in general. Piplup's body looks like it is clothed in a {{wp|tailcoat}} which is often compared to black and white plumage of penguins.
====Name origin====
Piplup is derived from ''plop'' or ''plup'', the sound of a pebble hitting water.<ref name=siliconera>Sahdev, Ishaan (September 28, 2012). "[https://www.siliconera.com/funny-stories-of-pokemon-english-name-localizations/ Funny Stories Of Pokémon English Name Localizations]". ''Siliconera''.</ref> It may also incorporate ''pip'', a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch from the eggshell.
Pochama is derived from ぽちゃぽちゃ ''pochapocha'' (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).<ref name=siliconera/> It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま ''botchama'' (young master).
