'''Piplup''' ({{ja|ポッチャマ|Potchama}}, ''Pochama'') is a fictional creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.

==Origin==
{{pkmn|Piplup}} is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation IV}}, and along with {{pkmn|Chimchar}} and {{pkmn|Turtwig}} it is one of the {{iw|bulbapedia|starter Pokémon}} of the {{iw|bulbapedia|Sinnoh}} region, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #393 as the "Penguin Pokémon". It evolves into {{pkmn|Prinplup}} at level 16, which evolves into {{pkmn|Empoleon}} at level 36.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Surf|move}} is a special Water-type move with 90 (95 before {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}) base power and 100% accuracy which hits every Pokémon adjacent to the user, including allies. It was {{iw|bulbapedia|HM03}} in every game prior to {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VII}}, and it was always required to fully complete them. Like most other Water-type Pokémon, Piplup can learn it with HM03.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Surf.jpg|thumb|Piplup using Surf on {{SSBB|Peach}}.]]

Piplup makes an appearance in ''Brawl'' as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon, where it uses its Surf attack to glide across the stage until it reaches a [[blast line]] or exceeds a time limit. Any character that gets caught in Piplup's surf will get washed away with it and will likely get [[KO]]'d while trapped, along with Piplup. The simpler the stage's terrain is, the more effective Piplup's Surf will be. Piplup can also be [[reflected]]. Its attack is essentially used the same way as [[Marill]]'s attack from ''[[Melee]]''. Sometimes Piplup will instantly use Surf.

|desc=A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region. It's a Water-type, so it's strong versus Rock- and Ground-types. It's very cute but filled with pride--it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.

Piplup does not return as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''Smash 4'', being replaced by [[Oshawott]] in functionality. Piplup appears only in the Wii U version, on the [[Kalos Pokémon League]] stage, as one of the Pokémon that appears in the background of the Flood Chamber.

|desc-ntsc=You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way. But once it's in the water, you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over 10 minutes at a time to hunt.
