Empoleon (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Empoleon is a large penguin-like Pokémon. In terms of color, it has a closer resemblance to a "real-world" penguin than its pre-evolved forms have because it is mostly navy blue as opposed to being a lighter blue. Its feet actually appear to have webbing on them. Its wings are tipped with blue metal and have three golden claws sticking out at the bottom. It has a short, blue, metal "fin" sticking out of its back and another "fin" that's on the front of its body that extends to where its chin would be then splits to form some sort of collar. This "collar" is probably because real penguins are said to be wearing "tuxedos," due to their black and white appearance. If one looks at Empoleon, it has a tie like fin in the middle of its belly, and the collar coming off it, this relates to the "tuxedo" of a penguin. There is a lace-like pattern of white coloration on its front, and it has two gold-colored spots on its upper-back. Its most prominent feature is the three-horned trident-like crest that extends from its beak. This crest represents an Empoleon's power and the leader of a colony of Empoleon, Prinplup, and Piplup will have the largest horns.

Empoleon can swim faster than a jet boat and, by using its razor sharp wings, can cut huge glaciers in a matter of seconds.  As seen in the anime, Empoleon can jump and glide in the air like a [[wp:Penguin|penguin]] would on ice. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, but Empoleon's attacks are stronger. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a {{type2|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]]), Empoleon can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}.

Another {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}} appeared in [[DP174]], under the ownership of [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]].

In [[Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] [[Hareta]] owns an Empoleon that evolved after the {{evostone|Everstone}} [[Mitsumi]] gave it effects wore off which caused Piplup to evolve straight into an Empoleon only being Prinplup for a moment. His Empoleon was valuable in the [[Mt. Coronet]] battle and risked its life to stop [[Cyrus]].

**However, all three (Empoleon, {{p|Swampert}}, and {{p|Torterra}}) have considerably higher Defense and Special Defense compared to the other final evolution starter Pokémon of their regions ({{P|Sceptile}}'s Defense and both of {{P|Blaziken}}'s defensive stats are considerably lower than Swampert's, while both of Infernape's defensive stats are low compared to either Empoleon or Torterra in Sinnoh).( However, it should be noted that statistically, Infernape is stronger than Empoleon or Torterra)
