In ''[[DP173|Dealing with a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', when teaching [[Narissa]], Brock says "Now let's level you up. And the only way to do that is to get [[experience]] from battling."

[[Dawn's Piplup]] also shows that the anime does not strictly follow the games' system. In its debut episode, it used {{m|Bide}}, a move Piplup normally does not learn until level 18, by which point it would be showing signs of evolution (which did not happen until ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]''). Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime. | [[Dawn's Piplup]] also shows that the anime does not strictly follow the games' system.
