It proved to be very strong when it battled [[Ash's Pikachu]] despite Pikachu having the [[type]] disadvantage. In [[DP027|the next episode]], it put up a good fight against [[Dawn's Piplup]]. At first, Prinplup didn't want to be friends with its weaker, pre-evolved form, but after being saved by Piplup, they soon became friends. | ||
Prinplup appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''. It then made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' during [[Marian]]'s [[television]] show, in which it was revealed to have helped Kenny win the [[Sage Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], earning Kenny his second [[Ribbon]]. | Prinplup appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''.

Prinplup briefly appeared in the beginning of ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' with Kenny. In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Prinplup helped Kenny get to the final round of the [[Solaceon Town]] Contest, but eventually lost to [[Jessie's Dustox]]. | Prinplup briefly appeared in the beginning of ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' with Kenny.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', Empoleon appeared alongside [[Barry's Empoleon|Barry's own Empoleon]] and Dawn's Piplup. As it tried to help search for Piplup, who had run away while trying to resist [[evolution]], Prinplup and Barry's Empoleon were kidnapped by {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|Piniplup robot]]. Pinplup was recovered through Dawn and Piplup's teamwork. | |||
In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Prinplup was used in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the {{to|Sandalstraw}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. It managed to defeat its first two opponents to reach the finals, where it went up against [[Dawn's Ambipom]]. Prinplup started the battle by using {{m|Drill Peck}}, but Ambipom blocked the attack with {{m|Swift}} and then used {{m|Double Team}}. After that, Prinplup used {{m|Bubble Beam}} to destroy the illusory copies Ambipom had created. However, before the attack could hit the real Ambipom, Dawn had the idea to implement ping pong moves into the battle and asked Ambipom to use {{m|Focus Punch}}, sending the bubbles back to Prinplup. | In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Prinplup was used in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the {{to|Sandalstraw}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

Natural of its species, Empoleon is always very proud and doesn't give others respect until they have, in its eyes, 'proved themselves worthy'. This was seen both when it met [[Dawn's Piplup]] for the first time and when it was pitted against [[Ash's Buizel]]. Like Buizel, Empoleon can be quite headstrong, developing their short-lived rivalry over a trivial issue, after Buizel's {{m|Sonic Boom}} attack nearly hit its target.
