How to Use Piplup

Weak for a Basic Pokemon

Piplup has an HP of 60 and no Attack damage, making it a weaker Basic Pokemon. Evolve it into Prinplup as soon as possible when ready.

Can Heal 20 HP with Its Attack Effect

Piplup can heal 20 HP with its Attack effect. While this is a minor effect, it may allow you to survive an extra turn when played early due to the 20 HP recovery.

Performance Depends on Its Evolutions

The final evaluation of Piplup depends on the performance of its evolutions, Prinplup and Empoleon, which have yet to be revealed.

Piplup Pros and Cons

Can Serve as a Wall in the Early Game

Piplup's Attack allows it to heal 20 HP. It can hold out against other Basic Pokemon for a while, but its overall HP isn't very high. Once ready, evolve it into Prinplup.
