Piplup accompanied Dawn to [[Unova]] prior to ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In [[BW086|the following episode]], he was able to reunite with {{Ash}} and meet {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and his new object of affection—a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since they were in [[Virbank City]]. He also socialized with all of the group's other Pokémon when they were brought out of their [[Poké Ball]]s, and found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had feelings for Meloetta too. Later on, he had a battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]], during which he used {{m|Drill Peck}} to send Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} back at him. When the Grass Monkey Pokémon used {{m|Rock Tomb}}, he negated the move using a variation of [[Counter Shield]]. After that, Pansage used {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Piplup countered with {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the two beams collided, they rose into the sky and exploded, creating a beautiful fireworks display. This left Meloetta greatly impressed, causing it to disrupt the battle and start dancing with Piplup.
