Dawn's Piplup: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Piplup was used alongside Pachirisu in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Johanna's Glameow]] and {{p|Umbreon}}. They started the battle by using a combination of Whirlpool and Discharge. However, the combination didn't last long as [[Johanna]]'s Pokémon were able to gracefully dodge it with a double {{m|Quick Attack}} and destroy it with a double Shadow Ball. After that, Dawn had Piplup using Bubble Beam, but Glameow and Umbreon dodged once again. This was part of Dawn's plan, though, as Bubble Beam was meant to build a barrier of bubbles and hide Pachirisu. When Pachirisu came out from behind the barrier, it caught Glameow and Umbreon by surprise and attacked them with a spinning {{m|Super Fang}}. Johanna's Pokémon quickly fought back with a double {{m|Attract}}, {{status|infatuation|infatuating}} both Pachirisu and Piplup before attacking them with a double {{m|Swift}} and knocking them out.

In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Piplup was used to battle {{an|Lyra}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} in the [[Johto Festival]] battling exhibition. Despite the [[type]] disadvantage, he was still able to defeat the Leaf Pokémon, earning Dawn a [[Pokémon Egg]].
