Empoleon was first seen as a Prinplup in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]''. It proved to be very strong when it was battling against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} despite its 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.

It also appeared in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', alongside [[Barry's Empoleon]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]]. In [[DP123|the following episode]], it defeated [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the [[Sandalstraw Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, earning Kenny his fourth ribbon.
It also appeared in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', alongside [[Barry's Empoleon]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]]. In [[DP123|the following episode]], it 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]]. After turning the battle into a ping-pong match, it defeated Ambipom to give Kenny his fourth Contest Ribbon.


Between helping Kenny win the Sandalstraw Ribbon and Kenny's [[DP174|participation]] in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]], Prinplup [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Empoleon}} and learned two new moves: {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Kenny used Empoleon alongside his {{p|Floatzel}} in the Appeal Round, however during an attempt to create a Flash Cannon-{{m|Whirlpool}} combination, Empoleon accidentally knocked Floatzel out, its Flash Cannon being too powerful for Floatzel to handle. As a result of this huge mistake, Kenny failed to make it past the appeal round.

==Personality and characteristics==
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|SonicBoom}} attack nearly hit its target.
