About Piplup
Piplup is a Water-type Pokémon, the Penguin Pokémon (No. 393), introduced in Generation IV and native to the Sinnoh region.
Prefers cold climes and appears along coasts. It's an adorable little thing—as cute as any child—but it's also prideful, unwilling to accept handouts from people.
