It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Prinplup}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Empoleon}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==

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.
