When Piplup was about to train with {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|Dawn's other Pokémon}} in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', he collapsed from exhaustion, worrying Dawn. Soon after, he started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Prinplup}}. However, he used Bide to stop the process and collapsed again. As a result, Brock rushed him to the [[Pokémon Center]], where Nurse Joy explained he just needed some rest. Later, when Dawn was talking to him, he started to evolve again. She told him to let it happen this time, but he used Bide to discontinue the process. As she questioned his motives and spoke to him about the benefits of evolving, he got angry and fled the room. Dawn followed him through the woods, but he kept running away from her, angry at her for not understanding his unwillingness to evolve. While running, he got caught in a web. Dawn tried to help him, but an Ariados appeared and attacked her. The attack destroyed the web and freed Piplup, who landed in Dawn's arms. After that, several Ariados appeared and attacked them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Piplup used Bide to send them flying, just like the day he and Dawn first met. Making matters worse, Team Rocket appeared and captured Piplup.

While trying to retrieve her Pokémon, Dawn learned why Piplup wanted to stay the way he is, through Team Rocket's Mewoth translations, as she realizes that on the day she chose Piplup, he chose her as well. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they returned to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy gave Dawn an [[Everstone]] to prevent Piplup from ever evolving. | ||
In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with {{OBP|Lulu|DP137}}'s {{p|Marill}}. However, a wild {{p|Elekid}} was also competing for its affections. When the three Pokémon got separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid worked together to save it. Once Marill was saved, it decided to go with Elekid, leaving Piplup brokenhearted. | In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with {{OBP|Lulu|DP137}}'s {{p|Marill}}.

Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are 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!]]''. | Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from [[human|people]].

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!]]''. | 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]].

Piplup formed an unbreakable friendship with [[Ash's Pikachu]] as they were usually shown together during the time they were traveling together. 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}}. Like Pikachu and [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], Piplup doesn't want to evolve as he also wants to prove he can become stronger without evolving. However, ever since the events with his teammate {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}, Piplup is also afraid of evolving as he felt if he were to evolve he would start disobeying Dawn. Although, he had another main reason for staying the way he is as he treasures the memory he and Dawn first meet as past events that formed their friendship inspired him to keep being her Piplup forever. | |||

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{p|Piloswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted with 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. | |||

Ever since Ash's Gible made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of his {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}}. This event was expanded in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', where Piplup ran away from {{ashfr|the group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped him learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically, it was implied in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' that Draco Meteor can be used to differentiate Piplup from other members of its species. | Ever since Ash's Gible made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of his {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}}.
